Antigone – Actors of Dionysus
This week’s trip to the little theatre by the sea was for Antigone. Toured by the Brighton-based Actors of Dionysus, it was created by playwright Christopher Adams. Actors of Dionysus aim to “create fresh, bold and urgent interpretations of Classical Greek work.” And they certainly succeeded on Saturday night in Lyme Regis. I know the […]
Mr Darcy Loses the Plot
Spotted the title, pressed “buy ticket” on the laptop. Who could resist something called Mr Darcy Loses the Plot? Another promising night at the theatre beckoned. Mr Darcy, in the middle of being written by Jane Austen, takes umbrage at her allowing Wickham to get the girls and have all the fun. He also takes offence […]
News … news … news …
Booky news coming in thick and fast! Buns for tea! I’ve just signed a new three book contract with those lovely people Harper Impulse. There will be more Millie books on the way. Just as well as I LOVE writing about Berecombe. Or, as it’s otherwise known, Lyme Regis! And: Check out page 39 of […]
We Are Bronte
Another visit to Lyme’s wonderful little theatre by the sea. This time to see Publick Transport’s We Are Bronte. The poster intrigued me and, being a bit of a Bronte fan, I booked us in. A few weeks makes a big difference to the weather and all was calm as we walked along the front […]

Checking out Chekhov’s shorts
You know what it’s like. At the time of booking, a night out seems like such a good idea. Then the date comes around. And it’s February. It’s cold. It’s raining and blowing a hooley. Suddenly a night in your jammies in front of The Good Karma Hospital with a bar of chocolate seems far […]
Heading south for the winter
Well, we’ve done it. We’ve sold our beloved home in Herefordshire and headed south. The move wasn’t without incident – is it ever? It was certainly stressful and frustrating – but we’ve done it! The alcohol and chocolate intake definitely rose to critical levels. We’ve completed House Move Part 1, that is. We enjoyed the […]
A house to inspire: beautiful Belmont
I got hooked on a Channel 4 programme a while ago which featured the work of The Landmark Trust. Restoring Britain’s Landmarks introduced the workings of the trust. Its aim is to breathe life back into buildings of key historical interest and turn them into upmarket holiday lets. One of the buildings featured in the […]
How to downsize a spaniel
‘We’re downsizing.’ Words that must spring terror into any estate agents’ mind. You know the type of house buyer I’m talking about. Middle-aged couples, childless or childfree with equity wrapped up in a large house somewhere and looking to de-clutter, downsize and re-value their remaining years. That’s us! As (she says in a hopeful whisper) […]
