Press Event If you’re wondering where to go to get your Panto fix this Christmas in Dorset, look no further than Bournemouth Pavilion’s production of Snow White. The legendary Su Pollard (of Hi-De-Hi fame) plays the Wicked Queen, joining firm favourite Noel Brodie, who has been a key part of the Bournemouth for Panto season for the past nine years, and the brilliant Jamie Steen, playing the part of everybody’s...
Press Visit A couple of weeks ago I was invited along to try out the Hall & Woodhouse Brewery Experience, based at their factory in Blandford. I hadn’t been around a Brewery previously so wasn’t really sure what to expect. If I am being totally honest I’m also not a huge beer drinker (having had bad experiences at house parties when I was a lot younger), but I thought it...
Features press samples Please tell me it’s not just me counting down the days until the kids are back at school? I know it sounds bad, but with the summer being the total washout it has been, and being cooped up inside with the children for weeks on end, having that end in sight is making me feel a little less stressed! My children head back in to school next...
Press Invite This weekend is the Bournemouth Air Show, a popular annual event on the calendar for locals and holidaymakers alike. This year, French cheese brand Boursin have a pop-up dining space on the beachfront in a bid to combat food waste, which is arguably worse during the summer months when higher temperatures (I know, I know, but usually the weather is better than it has been) and an increased...
Contributed Collaborative Post Hosting a pamper night for friends is the ideal way to show them you appreciate them. It encourages everyone to temporarily switch off from the pressures of the daily grind, and that includes you! Everyone deserves to experience some luxury now and again, so why not laugh together as you enjoy your very own at-home spa experience? Make your home fragrant Before your guests arrive, you’ll want...
Press Tickets I wasn’t sure where to start with this review so I’ll begin at the logical place with the first scene. I’ve never been to a show before with quite so explosive an introduction. The stage literally lit up as Zoe Birkett burst onto the stage as Rachel Marron. With a group of backing dancers who certainly knew their way around big musical numbers, vocals that immediately had your...
I’ve loved charity shops ever since I started working for local charity, Prama, a few years ago, just before the pandemic. I really enjoy the experience of raiding the rails and finding myself a total bargain, something which is much easier to do at Prama than other charity shops as they have such affordable, reasonable pricing for their clothes, footwear, accessories, books and bric a brac. When I say affordable,...
Features Press Samples Renovating a house can be a long process. I don’t have the finances, unfortunately, to be able to do the whole house in one go, so instead it’s been a slow journey to get to the point I am at now (which is about the half way point). One thing I haven’t had to worry about has been the artwork to go on the walls, on shelves,...
Collaborative Post Ever since I remember I’ve loved listening to music. It can take a bad day and make it better, it’s helped me through break-ups, job losses and bereavements and it’s been there for the highs as well as the lows – weddings, the births of my children and special family occasions. These are some ways I listen to music in my everyday life. Live Music I never used...
Features Press Samples Our downstairs toilet room was one of those rooms that could have stayed as it was but I NEEDED to change it up. It was super kitsch with matching wallpaper and curtains (yes, curtains), an awful mirrored cabinet and bizarre sliding door. In short it was ugly and I wanted to put my stamp on it. When the opportunity came up to review some lovely pink paint...
