In all honesty, by 25 I was hoping to have won an Oscar or at the very least be nominated for an Olivier so it was with mild dismay that I greeted my quarter century Birthday with neither of these accolades behind me. However, thanks to the power of good friends and family a wonderful …
Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium
THE CAT CAFE HAS OPENED IN LONDON *repeat in increasingly higher pitched tones until inaudible* Basically this was always going to be the best place ever. Especially for someone like me whose sentiments on cats can be summed up very concisely in this 2 minutes worth of video. Naturally a table was booked as soon …
Afternoon Tea At Biscuiteers
I am British therefore I like tea. And cake. Often served in ill-advised portions. This in turn means I love the chance to indulge in all things motherland with Afternoon Tea and was thrilled when I saw Emerald Street had brought back their 241 offers on the very such thing. Last year I went with …

Giving thanks
Happy Turkey Day, ya’ll!
Opening Night

Altogether now… “Concrete jungle where dreams are maaaaade of”
A letter from London

Diary Of A Placard Bearer
So one of the more exciting things I’ve done recently was take part in both the Opening and Closing ceremonies of London 2012 as an Olympic placard bearer. I first made this video diary as a personal project, just to commemorate the experience and help cure the “post Olympic blues” that followed in the days after it had all finished.
After getting some rather lovely feedback I thought I’d share it with the world- something of an insight into what really happened behind the scenes of the greatest show on earth. Enjoy.
