Damsel - A Dragon Story
Although my picture may not represent the Irish dragon who lurks beneath a mountain in this Netflix movie, it captures the mood of the film. In this post, I review this entertaining movie which stars Millie Bobbie Brown and Nick Robinson. Lasting 1 hour and 49 minutes, this adventure story depicts the joining of two important families by marriage. Elodie (Millie Bobbie Brown) is brilliant as the…

Friday We Love You
A short poem of appreciation —————————————————— Friday we missed you, With your familiar ways. You’re much more exciting Than most other days. Friday you saved me From a week of despair. Of struggles and torture And a load more grey hair. Friday don’t leave me, Though you’re sure to return. Your feeling of freshness Is one that I yearn. Friday my favourite, I can start to…

Saving The Planet Doesn’t Require Perfection
A Climate Change Collective Article This month our Climate Change Collective lead post is about how making a difference doesn’t have to be perfect. There are so many elements to climate change that it can seem confusing and overpowering if you are trying to live a sustainable life. But this month’s post by Molly at Transatlantic Notes is showing ways that we can make manageable changes without…

What Is Going On?
I watch the News and worry. People say not to bother watching but I want to know what is going on in this crazy world. After all, if we simply turn a blind eye, how will we ever deal with anything effectively? When it comes to climate change, I hear people say things like: ‘Don’t take any notice of the News. Forget about global warming. It’s not worth thinking about.’ We could all bury our…

It has been a while since I did one of my monthly roundups of entertainment suggestions. This feature samples a book, a TV show and a podcast that I am currently enjoying. Check out my reviews and see whether any take your fancy. This month I mention a drama set in Asia, a fanciful story about The Queen and a really funny podcast about death.

Back To Work - Poem
This is me doing a work-from-home job that I dream about. Back to work tomorrow, Here we go again. A week off passed too quickly, And I still feel the same. Tired and exhausted, Perhaps they overlap, But just need another week To sort out so much … (well you get the idea). I spent most of this week doing work Yet many think teachers have it easy. I’d like to see them do my job, And…

My First Time As An Extra
OK so this takes me back to 2018 when I had my very first chance to be a TV Extra. Having applied online to add my name to a database for ‘Supporting Artistes,’ I was quickly offered several days of work which I politely turned down. I wasn’t being rude. They were just so spread out. I remember having the chance to work on a huge movie but I had to be free on eight separate occasions spread…

Weather Or Climate?
When Michelle decided to write the latest lead post from the Climate Change Collective about the difference between Weather and Climate, I was especially intrigued. As a Geography student I changed my degree after one year to a BSc(Hons) instead of a BA(Hons) in order that I could concentrate more on physical geography. A big part of this was the study of climate, and in particular, climate…

Jodie Foster’s Chilling Detective Series
I have always been a fan of TV series which are set in snowy places. So it was a no brainer that I was going to check out the new season of True Detective on NOW TV/ HBO Max. Seeing Jodie Foster in the trailer, I was immediately intrigued. Apparently there have been three previous series of ‘True Detective’ but this was the first time I had heard of it. Each season had different settings and…

Winter Isn’t Winter
My ideal winter A mixture of colours, With plenty of glow. Winter is passing, But still there’s no snow. With later sunsets That gently progress. I’d hoped for a blanket Of snowy whiteness. As temperatures blossom Much warmer than the norm. I handle the weather But long for a snow storm. Just a sprinkling of snow For a short day or two. And then I’ll be happy And let Spring shine…

Saltburn - Wow!
As a film lover, I like to pride myself on being fairly eclectic. I have certain genres of movies that I love but also like to try different types of films now and again. In fact, I often relish small independent films or movies in foreign languages. Saltburn caught me by surprise. I think I first heard about this film randomly on a podcast and then slowly, it crept into my life. First, the BBC…

Cold Without Snow
Why Is Winter Not Sparkling White? When I studied my Geography degree I focused on environmental subjects alongside glaciology. It is fair to say that snow and ice has always fascinated me. So the lack of snow in Eastern England is really irritating me. Obviously, I blog about climate change and know what that involves. Warming temperatures naturally lead to less wintry weather and generally…

Truly, Madly, Guilty - Book Review
As an avid reader, I love to be told interesting stories set in different locations. Liane Moriarty is an Australian author who has never let me down and always knows how to stir up a good amount of intrigue. Recently I finished another of her Australia based novels – Truly Madly Guilty. Going to a barbecue never got more awkward than this. My Review Liane has a way of writing in the close…

Reading , I Missed You!
Having slowed down with my reading during the Autumn, I have got back into my rhythm again. Any fellow bookworms will know that sometimes work (and life in general) gets in the way of reading but it is really annoying when it does. Even a bookworm has moments of distraction. But the hunger soon sets in. Over Christmas I eased my way back in by reading a short Christmas story. Now I am in full…
