It was a cold and rainy day when we ventured out to the gallery to peruse the latest blockbuster exhibition – ‘The Impressionists’. It was a lovely afternoon of art, however, even if the paintings were viewed by dodging around all the other people who had also decided the gallery was the place to be […]

So, now it’s one week to go. This time next Thursday I’ll be on that plane! Munching on a small bag of peanuts. And sipping a minute orange juice. Wondering just how bad the movies will be! It’s hard, I know.
