Back in 2006 I blogged about a collection of articles by one of my favourite writers: Phil Llewellin on "The Road to Muckle Flugga"? - RobiNZ Personal Blog The Road to Muckle Flugga is collection of articles about “Great drives on Five Continents” by the late Phil Llewellin. He was a wonderful writer, who happened to write about motoring, for CAR Magazine (U.K.) among others. I referred to an article I still have: I think the finest piece is, the appropriately named, “Their Finest Hour”. I clipped this out of CAR when first published in 1990 as I loved it... Read more →

My last contact with “real” Shakespeare was at High School and I shudder to think that was 30’something years ago!. I only remember “doing” Macbeth but there must have been others. I know of his work... Read more →

I guess I should disclose that I know the the Director Jessie Peach as, before setting out on his multi-media career, he sold me bird seed, at the Bird Barn. I should also disclose that I’m not a regular or especially knowledgeable theatre goer, the last live show I saw was Spamalot in Vegas!, but I’m glad i saw this production.

Since then I’ve become familiar with his Film and TV work including... Read more →
