A pocket of my life

Book 8 of 2026 is in full swing, this book has really been the change that I had needed.  As a reader I am very good at sticking to a certain author for a very long time and I do feel like I really needed to venture out a little more, Debbie Johnson's book, Summer at the comfort food cafe, has really shown me this.  The story starts with Laura, a widowed Mum of two from Manchester who makes a life changing decision to apply for a summer job the other end of the country to try and find herself again. This story delivers sweet treats with its characters and the stories that follow them who help he to rebuild her world, including someone sweet in her eyes too. You certainly join a rollercoaster of emotions with this one, from laughter to crying and all that comes inbetweeen. This is the start of an 8 book series which follows the seasons and much more, I am certainly intrigued where this story will take me and what adventures there will be in the future.  I am ve...

We saw Bluey and Bingo, for real life. On Saturday we took a trip over to The Brighton Centre to go an watch Bluey's big play. This is the first ever theatrical version on the show and is brilliant to introduce theatre to children. The show consists of the 4 main characters, plus an extra brought to life in puppet from, these are operated by 2-3 people depending on what the character is actually doing. Each character really does get brought to life with everything moving from eye brows to feet.  The set changed through the show with the garden, bedroom and living room being the main part. These are slid into place using cast behind, these were attached to a sloped rig with gaps for people to move between too. The shows running time was around 50 minutes with a bit of play at the end,  there us also an opportunity to join in some dancing too. We truly enjoyed the show and even Lilly was laughing along with the show. If you get a chance to watch this with you...

What at show! Last night I got the privilage to go an see the closing night of 2:22 A ghost story in Eastbourne at the Congress Theatre. I have never been more intrigued in a show as I was for this, I had heard some raving reviews.  The cast consisted of four main characters, Sam, played by James Bye who is a vry sceptital person. James is great in this role bringing the right amount of frustation to answers and concern when needed. Shvorne Marks who plays Jenny, She plays this character so well, her performance is so believable with the fear in her voice and the way she uses the stage.  Sam's friend, Lauren is played by Natalie Casey, her character seems to have a mixture or believing but not wanting to upset Sam too much, she plays it well. Lastly we introduced Ben, laurens boyfriend who is played by Grant Kilburn, he seems to be a bit of a person who knows a bit of everything, Grant plays this so well with the right amount of cockiness making his character mildl...
