She looked at the smiling, eager face of the little girl in the photograph, with dark hair, bright-green eyes, a missing front tooth, and her entire life ahead of her. Chelsea was last seen walking back from a friend’s house one summer afternoon. She never made it home… An eight-year-old girl, Chelsea Compton, is missing…

Phantom of the Opera – Her Majesty’s Theatre
I have loved Phantom for over a decade. I listen to the soundtrack on a weekly bases. I have the 25th anniversary edition on DVD. I cannot put into words the joy that Phantom brings me. It is everything about the production that I love. From the music, to the lyrics, the characters and the…
Ramble #11
This week has been so busy. I forgot to post a ramble for last week, so first a recap of that! The week was pretty quiet but I didn’t have any time to read in the evenings. I was either painting, or otherwise engaged with tasks that took me away from reading. Last weekend, (15th…
GSC Macbeth
Act I On a bleak Scottish moorland, Macbeth and Banquo, two of King Duncan’s generals, discover three strange women (witches). The witches prophesy that Macbeth will be promoted twice: to Thane of Cawdor (a rank of the aristocracy bestowed by grateful kings) and King of Scotland. Banquo’s descendants will be kings, but Banquo isn’t promised any kingdom…

When David Child, a major client of a corrupt New York law firm, is arrested for murder, the FBI ask con artist-turned-lawyer Eddie Flynn to persuade him to testify against the firm.

3 Fact Book News – 20/02/2020
Another week that is passing much quicker than I would like! It’s also another action packed one. I just wish it would stop raining! I also wish the air pressure would lift a little, I’m getting sick of the headache pain. There is only so much a paracetamol can do before I have to give…
Kindle Haul – So Tiny It’s Almost Not Worth A Mention!!
I did actually start reading a book today, but then work took over. Then there was a power cut which lasted over an hour and my boredom levels hit a new low. I was actually just being sneaky in seeing if any of the books on my ‘birthday books’ wishlist had disappeared. TBH, I can’t…
3 Fact Book News – 12/02/2020
Can’t believe it’s Wednesday already! It doesn’t seem like I’ve done any reading at all! I collected a lot of book this week, or rather, I got a lot of book mail but none of it was for me. I was being proactive in ordering books for birthdays and Christmas 2020. I restricted myself from…
Lord of the Rings – Part 2
Time for part two of my favourite Lord of the Rings fan fiction stories, and I’m not just posting this because I haven’t read anything this week (or maybe it’s a little that!). There are only 9 stories here, from 2017-2018. I’m surprised I haven’t read any Lord of the Rings story since 2018, but…
Theatre Review – Matthew Bourne’s Red Shoes Ballet
It’s tradition now that I see a production of Matthew Bourne’s New Directions Ballet every year. This is the third year of seeing a Matthew Bourne production. When I saw that Red Shoes was coming to my local theatre, I knew I had to grab tickets for it. The original fairytale of Red Shoes was…
