Currently my life revolves around rhododendrons and a stubborn handkerchief tree. So what better way to kick off my 2019 Norfolk and Norwich Festival season by going to see an immersive piece of theatre to do with horticulture. Plants. My life revolves around plants. Although to be honest I cant exactly complain. Wild Longings was … Continue reading Wild Longings – Curious Productions
Everyone searches for the one. I've been searching for the last few years now. I thought I had found the one in Merlin. I met him stuck in a muddy field when I moved back to Norfolk in 2016. I fell in love instantly. Born in 1987 like me, he was a little quirky and … Continue reading Finding The One
My last visit to this years Norfolk and Norwich Festival was to The Adnams Spiegeltent to see the specially commissioned show SHIFT, by the Barely Methodical Troupe. SHIFT Explores shifting perceptions and realities through power based acrobatics mixing show-stopping circus tricks with the emotional punch of theatre. From the instant they stepped on stage there … Continue reading Barely Methodical Troupe – SHIFT
I was first introduced to Ben Folds in 2008, when the sound technician at the theatre I worked at used the Ben Folds Five as sound check music. By the end of the week I had to ask him what was playing and it was instantly added to my very small iTunes library- which at … Continue reading Ben Folds and A Piano

I don't know why it's taken me so long - its a brilliant venue that I will be keeping a closer eye on for sure. Improbable have been … Continue reading Improbable- The Paper Man

As with last years Norfolk and Norwich Festival I try and see an eclectic mixture of productions, partly to keep the blog interesting, but mainly to keep taking me out of … Continue reading Hofesh Shechter Company – Grand Finale
I love to walk. I walk a lot in Norfolk, but the thing about Norfolk is it is rather flat. Ok- now that is a lie, I can safely attest that there are hills, but Beeston Bump aside there are no great inclines. I have had the hiking bug for quite some time now, but … Continue reading My First Peak- Hiking Passage Peak on Hamilton Island
The first post from my amazing trip to Australia is about a theatre show- which was actually one of the last things I did whilst out there. BUT this show finishes on Sunday 24th September so I wanted to post this before then just in case it tempts anyone in and around Brisbane to go! … Continue reading Fun House- Brisbane Festival 2017
I hate missing out on exciting theatre, but that is one thing I will be doing this September. Now I know I can't complain too much about missing this festival – especially as I will be having amazing adventures in Australia (and possibly even seeing theatre at the Brisbane Festival ) but I thought seeing … Continue reading HighTide Festival 2017
One of the joys of being back in North Norfolk is discovering all the local events I avoided as a teenager. As you have read from some of my previous posts- I am making more of an effort to discover and write about what is on my doorstep- and I think this one has been … Continue reading The Sheringham Potty Morris & Folk Festival 2017
