    A Very British Summer

    How are you enjoying the British Summer?  It certainly feels as though we skipped a season here in the North East and jumped from Spring straight into autumn.  That said, given the heatwave that has consumed most of Europe over the past month we should probably be thankful for the grey skies and rain.  …

    Out of Boredom Comes Creativity

    So pleased to see Grayson’s Art Club back on TV.  I was chatting with my parents at the weekend about a recent auction of Tony Hart’s work. It made me think broadcasters have missed an opportunity for some great TV – bring back a Tony Hart type programme!  We had Art Attack but it just…
