Postcards from Dewnens
Spent some time this week exploring the North Devon coast. My nostalgia for West Country holidays normally drags me further to Cornwall, so it was nice to break with tradition and see another corner to this part of the world, which in conclusion looks and feels exactly the same. Oh, the comfort of familiarity. OurContinueContinue reading “Postcards from Dewnens”

The Pembroke Dock Falcon
This week we got to visit the Pembroke Dock Falcon exhibit at Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre, a stones throw from where the actual full-scale Millennium Falcon seen in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi was built. It’s a bit of a trek down to the south west of Wales but well worth aContinueContinue reading “The Pembroke Dock Falcon”

20 years of Less Than Jake’s ‘Anthem’
I first got into Less Than Jake in late 2000. By this point in time I had 4 studio albums and a bunch of other releases to catch up on.

Today theContinueContinue reading “20 years of Less Than Jake’s ‘Anthem’”

May the 4th 2023
I saw some incredible things at Celebration, the four day Star Wars convention, last month. Some of the best bits were the most simple, fans gathering together on stage and holding lightsabers high, kids who likely weren’t even born when Star Wars returned to cinemas in 2015 dressed up as their favourite characters. George LucasContinueContinue reading “May the 4th 2023”
Stronger together
Those who’ve watched the latest season of The Mandalorian will have heard Bo-Katan Kryze pitch to the warring Mandalorian factions that they are stronger together. Spoiler alert; it turns out they are. Bo sold the idea of community over division. Her people bought in and they all shared in the collective victories. In marketing, there’s a school of thought thatContinueContinue reading “Stronger together”
#inPoole
20 years ago this month I was on my school ‘work experience’ placement at Poole Library. At this time they had a store room above the bus station where the old Job Centre used to be. I was amazed when I went in there to find these wooden animals that used to be in theContinueContinue reading “#inPoole”
