Me looking brave before taking to the air (and the wing) of the plane. Wow, it was cold !! But the whole experience was totally exhilarating.

Jan's Blog

Computers and the internet are amazing things. One of my concerns with putting together this site was that it could remain current, yet with all my travelling I've often much to say, but little time to say it. Years ago when reading the news it would take me days on end to reply to the kind letters people sent. Now, with the magic of the modern age, I can keep you up to date with what I'm doing and other events in my life.

PAUL NEWMAN

Date: 29th September 2008

I feel like going into Mourning.  Paul Newman was my all time favourite Film Star and now he's gone at the relatively youngish age of 83.  Well that seems young to me when my father is still alive at 93 and with all his faculties except his sight.  Paul Newman ticked all the boxes - was a fine actor,...

AUTUMN, DEPARDIEU and other subjects

Date: 27th September 2008

AUTUMN - Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Although Monday was the official commencement of Autumn, I knew it was Autumn this morning when some of my window panes had misted up on the inside.

Date: 23rd September 2008

They opened their season with a delightful film entitled 'Ruby Blue' which starred  Bob Hoskins and Josiane Balasco.  Josiane is a French Actress of high renown and very much in... Read more...


FLY WITH THE STARS - THE DUCHESS

Date: 8th September 2008

FLY WITH THE STARS A Tribute to the Few My son Jonathan and I went to the Palladium on Sunday night to see 'Fly with the Stars'.  It was a Charity Gala Performance in aid of The Battle of Britain Memorial Trust in the presence of Prince Michael of Kent. The show was superb - rather like a scaled down Royal... Read more...


CARMEN - LBC LONDON - ALAN TITCHMARSH SHOW - ITV

Date: 3rd September 2008

On Saturday went with friends to see a production of Carmen in a marquee in the grounds of Leeds Castle.  The parking and disabled facilities were woefully inadequate and though we got my friend to the Marquee via the Landtrain, there were no such niceties after the show and she had to walk until we finally...
