We were heading down into Liverpool Street station when seven guys dressed in “morph suits” – all different colours – casually walked by. In London, you always expect the unexpected, so I wasn’t too surprised, but it was the hottest day of the year and those were some pretty claustrophobic-looking outfits. They seemed to enjoy [...]
Last Sunday was Bengali New Year and the biggest celebration outside of South Asia took place around Weavers Fields, Allen Gardens and Brick Lane. 110,000 made it a record-breaking event. Included in the festivities was a mechanical animal parade. We were down there for other reasons and didn’t get to see too much of the festival, but did [...]
Nice sunny day today, although not as hot as the unseasonal 28 degrees we had yesterday! Took a walk along the Thames at Chelsea Embankment. A wonderful place, virtually in the centre of town but like being at the seaside! Well worth a walk down there if you are in the area. On one side [...]
It doesn’t seem so long ago that my brother and I would set up a lemonade stall on our suburban New York street waiting for thirsty grown-ups to walk by and pay us a few cents for a glass. Usually, it was just a few stragglers and grandma dressed up as a stranger trying to [...]

Afterall , it is an Alan Bennett play so you know it is going to have some great dialogue and something about cocksucking in it . There will be a new cast returning in July and a tour , but this cast had a bit more star power with Richard Griffiths and Frances De La Tour . Since the play does talk about

The Cotswolds seems to consist of many cute little towns that all look the same and that offer an array of antiques , clothing for the elderly and places to eat lunch . It is all rather civilised . Lunch in the Cotswolds turned out to be a very cruel sport . Establishments were either offering a one hour wait , or menu boards outside saying they were full and didn't want you approaching them .
