I've been a fan of Elbow around 15 years. I like to think of myself as one of the early day fans, I enjoyed their music before it was cool to enjoy it, before some tunes became overplayed on the radio, before they were 'mainstream'. I have been lucky enough to see them play live… Continue reading Elbowed in the Forest

Russell Brand Re:Birth – Norwich
What a week it has been! A week so full it's worthy of two blog posts, both involving some important men in my life. Let's begin with the first significant man, Russell Brand. (You can read about the second one here.) Monday marked my 6th time seeing this splendid chap. Don't judge, I'm not some obsessed… Continue reading Russell Brand Re:Birth – Norwich
Baby Shower – Oaklands Norwich
Baby shower and a brewSo my friend is pregnant! Well she was, she's now Mummy to the adorable baby Luna. My oldest friend was having a baby, not my oldest friend in age (although she is getting closer to 30 everyday!), I should say my longest friend. I felt old enough when my younger sister… Continue reading Baby Shower – Oaklands Norwich
Pleasure to Eat You – Figbar Norwich
Ok I'm sorry my titles are getting a little corny..... would you believe coming up with a title sometimes takes me longer than writing a post. No, I hear you say, because your titles are ridiculous! Well yes. I'm writing this post on a sugar high. So please excuse the jitteriness and excited-ness, good job… Continue reading Pleasure to Eat You – Figbar Norwich
Turtle Bay Norwich – A Rollercoaster in Pyjamas
We've all had various experiences when out dining with family or friends, bad food, good food, poor service, great service. As someone that really likes to try new places, but is also restricted as to where I can access, I often end up sticking to my comfortable favourites, just like an old faithful pair of… Continue reading Turtle Bay Norwich – A Rollercoaster in Pyjamas
Birthday Celebrations – The Waffle House Norwich
Just a quick(ish) hello today to tell you about a new exciting find of mine. Well in no way is it actually new, in fact The Waffle House has been in Norwich for well over 30 years, and I've passed it on many occasions thinking I really must check this place out, as I'd heard so… Continue reading Birthday Celebrations – The Waffle House Norwich
It’s The DOD – David O’Doherty at Norwich Playhouse
Norwich Playhouse is one of my favourite places, and has been for a few years now. I properly discovered this arty venue while I was studying my MA at Norwich University of the Arts, which main building is situated just opposite. This cosy, friendly, quirky bar and theatre became my second home. The relaxing atmosphere perfect… Continue reading It’s The DOD – David O’Doherty at Norwich Playhouse
Spontaneity and The Noise Next Door
I was spontaneous! I did something spur of the moment! By spur of the moment I mean I went to a gig 4 days after booking tickets. So close to the gig date that I couldn't have the tickets posted. That's how cool I am... I had to collect them. Calm down I hear you… Continue reading Spontaneity and The Noise Next Door
Tiny Lift for Tiny Shoes
Whilst shoe shopping for my niece's birthday recently I encountered a lift like no other lift I have come across before. This lift did not fit my wheelchair, let alone my PA to accompany me! You see I can't use a lift alone. Although I have been abandoned in one before by my friend, who… Continue reading Tiny Lift for Tiny Shoes
The Elusive Golden Ticket – Ed Sheeran
Like 50,000,000 other people yesterday (I don't know exact figures) I tried to purchase tickets to see Ed Sheeran. Like 49,998,531 (again just a guesstimate) of these people I failed. In my opinion there are 3 main reasons that I failed to get tickets. Reason number one: awful, smug, money making ticket touting websites. Reason… Continue reading The Elusive Golden Ticket – Ed Sheeran
