Everyone likes a Christmas party don’t they? Well except me but that’s because I’m a misery guts and couldn’t think of anything worse than, except for a New Years Eve party of course. You might think that having parties at overcrowded and somewhat dodgy venues are a modern phenomena but you might be surprised to… Continue reading Dancing on the Dead at Enon Chapel – The Victorian Sensation!

A long farewell to Rick, a bitter-sweet scene with Hershel…. The Walking Dead.
Its not often I write a third blog post in a week. I’m writing this on Tuesday, having just watched the latest instalment of The Walking Dead.

It’s hard to imagine a when men would fight for honour almost at the drop of a hat or indeed a white handkerchief but there was a time when this was de rigueuer.

Opportunity Knocks… Again! From blogging to the small screen.
