The Joy of Live Entertainment
Last night, I went out to our local arts venue. When I say, local, I mean, local because it is just a short walk, maybe 10 minutes, from my house and I don't live in a big city. I live in a small town in a delightful district of England called The Cotswolds which has beautiful architecture, historic squares, golden stone and character in abundance. And I love living here for all of those reasons and more, but one of the things that I love the most and this surprises me somewhat, is The Goods Shed.

We need to talk about Ernest
This was my first encounter with Hemingway and with his reputation preceding him, I have to say that I was expecting something a little more edgy or racy or, if I'm honest, riveting. But I was left a little cold by The Old Man and the Sea and I feel like a traitor for saying it. Dramatic, I know, but I do feel a strong sense of guilt at my less than enthusiastic response. However, I am trying to find out why I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

Strange Meeting
"Can I join you?" Melanie looked at the stranger and was unable to discern his features fully due to the sun's position. He had a gruff voice and a sunhat on, maybe? It was difficult to tell. She didn't want him to sit next to her but she found herself acquiescing nonetheless.
