I’ve been struggling with writing this post, because plainly put, most things are more of a struggle than usual right now. That’s why, during these crazy times, I recommend walking to stay sane. Nothing like this has happened before in my lifetime. This is a global pandemic. The world has …
On Friday, February 7th I attended a Members’ Reception and Exhibition Preview at the Montclair Art Museum. There, amidst the obligatory cheese and wine sampling, I witnessed the launch of Federico Uribe: Animalia – genuinely one of the most spectacular, uplifting and just darned right imaginative art exhibitions I’ve ever …
Ho, ho, groan: It’s that weird time of year again, that black hole between Christmas and New Year when it’s mandatory to eat and drink all of the things and generally loll around in the lounge like a sea lion. If, like me, you can no longer see your feet …

Since 2010, I’ve been writing about London. And since 2009, I’ve been living in London – firstly North of the river in Tufnell Park, then South in Wimbledon, then finally West in Ealing (sorry, East). That’s almost a decade of London living. So it really did feel like the end …
It’s that time of year again: on comes my blogging hat and out comes my inner-spewing AKA my annual end-of-year review. I really relish this Twixmas period: a time for over-indulgence, eating, sequins, reflection, drinking, family, drinking some more, and generally getting my life in order. And while everyone said …
A couple of years ago, I thought I’d do my bit to support the local arts by popping along to the Ealing Music and Film Valentine Festival, where I enjoyed a glorious classical concert performed by the Ealing Symphony Orchestra. Now back for its fourth year and clearly burgeoning in …
