Ah, @JimTheFish, trust me, I never managed McShe…she was the manager. 🙂
I thought you would maybe get why, in a very superficial and personal way, I don’t like Amy – she just could never live up to my own […]

Although I feel like an extra from Brad Pitt’s zombie movie, I think I can safely say I have reached the point of being half alive again!
Hopefully, things will start to return to normality soon/now – […]

Just before Christmas in 1974, I won a scholarship to a prestigious London drama school and, in my mind, made my pact with my Nanna complete. She had been gone for 2 years, but I still missed her a lot.
