Top Films and Movies of 2022

The film scene is still slowly recovering from the pandemic and frankly there has been a lot of rubbish out there and by rubbish I also mean comic book films 🙂 I didn’t get to see all the films I wanted to see but there are plenty that I did see that didn’t quite make… Continue reading Top Films and Movies of 2022

Top TV Shows of 2022

There has been some great television this year, perhaps due to a backlog of shows from during the lockdowns in 2020 and 2021. It’s been hard to narrow it down and even 11 doesn’t seem to include everything that I’d like. These are what I’ve been enjoying on the telly this year. 11.

Walking the walk but not talking the talk!

The first Nursery Rhyme Tour of London was a big success (I hope) and went 4 hours with just a small hotchoc and church diversion.

I have never had anything less than… Continue reading Funny 1-star reviews are humorous but are seriously not funny!

The Top Movies and TV Shows of 2014

The mixed blessing of reviews

Are you the sort of person who likes to know the truth of what someone thinks of you?  Most people do, some people don’t.  I’m firmly in the latter and would entirely rather not know anyone, at any time, anywhere thinks of me unless it is 100% positive. I know it is said that it… Continue reading The mixed blessing of reviews
