It felt like a rite of passage for me, not sure B experienced the same high tide. A watershed all over – 7 years in a blink of an eye. B’s journey just beginning. Friends I think forged for life. An executive director from Charles Tyrwhitt was on hand to deliver a short sermon. He […]
Navigating an age of social change A very thoughtful day out at the F&C live show in London Shivvy Jervis a radical futurist thinker, struck a chord as she outlined that we already have a super computer our brain which runs at 268 miles an hour processing information so Ai should be embraced, not feared […]
Wow this was a fever pitch gig. The prologue was set by Mrs Ronson’s entertaining monologue about her life and times as a Beckenham hairdresser meeting Mrs Jones (Bowies’ Mum) and then joining the singers touring contingent. No autocues or cards sheets. Her fuller technicolour story is here. Packed house for the main event – […]

I must admit, I didn’t quite know what to expect from an own label Tesco ‘Craft Beer’ brew. The Co-op ones are unexpectedly excellent, especially the Mersea Island brewed Growler varieties, but my expectations were a little flakier for the new ‘Revisionist’ Steam Beer.
