So this weekend was the end results of all our efforts for the festival this year and I have to say it was pretty amazing. I got to see a grand total of three bands (woo) which is about on a par with last year, but unlike last year they weren’t all headliners, they were Read more about And now its all over[…]

So its that time of year again, the Oxford folk festival is nearly upon us, the sun is warming up and spring is definitely in the air. So last week was a week full of spring cleaning, the work mag was finally sent to print after many revisions and last minute tweaks, my spinning article Read more about Tis the season[…]

So this weekend its all really happening. Mel and Fi had their birthday’s on the same day this year as Mel was born on the 28th and Fi was born on the 29th in a leap year (so her birthday technically doesn’t exist this year, if we worked on that logic she would only be Read more about Living for the weekend[…]

elanorOriginally uploaded by victoriaros56 I’ve been getting a lot of emithers each asking for more information about the dress that I’ve decided to make for Mel’s hen do (I always like an excuse for a new dress and what an excuse this is!). The pattern arrived mid week last week through the post. Originally I’d Read more about In a Jane Austin style[…]

Its true, they are my least favourite day of the week. The excitement of a Monday with the heady prospect of clearing my inbox has vanished and all that remains is this feeling of kind of nothingness. Wednesday’s are usually slightly better because of my violin lessons (I’ve reached the stage in my next grade Read more about Tell me why I don’t like Tuesday’s?[…]

Is the name of the film that Mel & I watched last night, but I’m kind of starting to feel like I’m living in this film. The creative issue of the work mag is looming and all sorts of really talented people are coming out of the woodwork, its really exciting to see what everyone Read more about League of extrordinary gentleman[…]

So now, even right this moment, I should be typing up my pancake feature (deadline Friday) but I’m afraid it just ain’t happening. Mostly because I’ve had a pretty tough morning but also I always find it hard copying up stuff onto the computer, its not the same as when your writing and in direct Read more about Still not done…[…]

Why is it that no matter how prepared I am for the weekend I never get all the stuff want to get done done? Time always defeats me. Well at least this weekend I was in the country! The snooker Masters did prove a bit of a massive distraction, but I figure everyone needs a Read more about The tying up of ends[…]

So last night we headed off to the Anvil in Basingstoke. Not a very glamorous venue, I’ll admit, but it was well worth the trek. Richard Thompson brought his 1000 years of popular music tour to the UK and we had tickets!!!! The concept of this tour is brilliant in its simplicity, Richard Thompson (who Read more about Night and day[…]

So last night my friend Sam and I ventured out in the very, very cold to see mystery band Quadraphobe. Now you are going to have to concentrate for this bit. We went because my friend Adam (who is coincidentally Sam’s car share Adam) has a friend who is involved with them in some way Read more about Hard to explain[…]
