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.
J.B. PRIESTLEY
Date: 25th January 2010
J.B. PRIESTLEY I forgot to mention that an Actor friend of mine came with his wife to see Calendar Girls and asked me if I'd read Barry Cryer's 'The Chronicles of Hernia'. I hadn't but was absolutely amazed to find two references to the fact that JB was, apparently, a great fan. How I wish he'd got in... Read more...
THE GREAT RIFT
Date: 25th January 2010
THE GREAT RIFT - Africa's Wild Heart I don't watch much television - preferring to sit down to a good DVD of an evening. At the weekend we are almost spoilt for choice when during the week there's hardly ever anything I want to see. Last night I wanted to watch 'Slum Dog Millionaire' and The Great Rift... Read more...

The four of us couldn't have been more different but I think we all enjoyed each other's company and got along extremely well. Of... Read more...

FROZEN FOUNTAINS IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE
Date: 8th January 2010
FROZEN FOUNTAINS IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE I had to do some filming for 'Come Dine with Me' on Friday 8th January. In view of the inclement weather and the possibility that had I managed to get home to Kent, I might not make it back again, the CDWM team put me up for the night in an hotel close to the Theatre in...

THE HORSE BOY

The Horse Boy by Rupert Isaacson THE HORSE BOY By Rupert Isaacson With all the travelling on trains I've had to do over the last few months, I've read endless books, but one I simply must tell you about was this one - The Horse Boy. I started reading it on the train into town yesterday, continued... Read more...
