TV Review..American Horror Story Coven..S03 E04
Race hate is the vein which seems to pump evil through the heart of this season of American Horror Story. Episode four opens in 1961 where a young black schoolboy is killed and hung in the trees on his first day of school by ignorant, old, white men. I…
Season Finale – The Borgias Season 3…..
Will be sad not to review The Borgias for a while. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and intend to read up on the history of the fascinating Borgia Family. In Micheletto’s continued absence Cesare relies on the sneaky Machiavelli as he plans his next move to carve out a Kingdom…

Where to find your lost creativity……

Renaissance craftsman bobbing and weaving creating beautiful linens and fabrics on a wooden loom, medieval stained glass window makers, or a rural French cheese maker creating rare truffle infused fromage. Artisan has been a word which hasnt really cropped up in…
The rise of the proles….
Everyone has an opinion on what is happening in the UK. Watching the riots unfold, the burning homes, and the thugs bullying and stealing from peaceful innocents. Adrenalin pumped, faceless hoodies, following each other in and out of stores looting TV’s because “F*ck It, if he’s getting one why can’t…
A new book from an old time…
As much as I love to write I love to read. If there is a book sale on or 30 minutes to kill I will find a bookshop to browse and buy. I collect them. Any book, some inherited, some recommended and some to me are just important books that…
