A wet Wednesday in February and everything is awesome (to coin a phrase). Well I say everything is awesome without knowing for certain that that is the case. Shall we agree that most things are pretty good? A few things are OK? Right we’ll start there and picket up a bit…
Wasn’t Mark Strong fabulous? Not only is he a great actor but he has time for everyone (spending ages with some school pupils who were studying A View) and is passionate about British theatre. He is welcome anytime.
We are shopping today with Mary Portas on the show. Her new series is on Channel 4 now and her memoir Shop Girl is out stuffed full of evocative flavours and brands from the 70s- Vesta meals, Caramac, Chappie dog food and Jamboree Bags fill every page and great fun it is too. And MARY PORTAS QUEEN OF SHOPS oldies obviously!
Already Wednesday is on the up...
