Excellent stay at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel

Published on by Rob-and-Sue.UK1 Comment

Earlier in the year we purchased an experience package for a three course meal in London (plus cocktail) and a trip up the shard, both of which we will be reviewing separately.

The biggest question for us was, how are we travelling down and where are we staying. Again, that’s another story by itself, so we will skip that for now.

As you might know, we generally use Booking.com for our hotel arrangements and on this occasion we finally decided to stay at the London Sunborn Yacht Hotel, moored adjacent to the Excel centre in the heart of the Docklands.

No half measures with Kipps

Published on by Rob-and-Sue.UKLeave a comment

Here I am again, reviewing a theatrical performance, which to be honest isn’t really my thing.

But this performance deserves a special mention. This is the Carlton Operatic Society’s fabulous performance of Kipps – based on the musical “Half a Sixpence”.

Whenever I think about amateur dramatic societies, I immediately start to lower my expectations. I mean, they will never be as good as professionals, will they?

Go wash your mouth out Robert!

‘Allo ‘Allo – Encore Performing Arts

Published on by Rob-and-Sue.UKLeave a comment

When my daughter Stacey asked me if I wanted to go and see ‘Allo ‘Allo on stage, I jumped at the chance – an avid fan for many years, I have all the box sets which I watch regularly and never miss an opportunity to ‘spoke in Fronch when I am at woke’ (Think about it)

Stacey writes reviews of shows on her own website and was invited by Encore Performing Arts to come and review their opening night in the Duchess Theatre Long Eaton. Naturally, she thought it a good idea to take along an ‘Allo ‘Allo expert to help critique the show. You can read her own review on her website www.amessinadress.co.uk

While writing up our recent review of the Gran Bahia Principe’s Jamaican resort, I realised we had never posted a review from our original visit. I will correct this oversight shortly. In the meantime,
you can get a feel of the resort from this selection of videos over on our youtube channel. Have you visited our channel yet? There is over 100 videos to choose from!

Yorkshire Air Museum : Live!

Published on by Rob-and-Sue.UKLeave a comment

We can’t resist a good air museum. There’s something fascinating about getting up close to some of these mighty aircraft, reading their history, and marveling at the ingenuity that helped them take to the air. Yorkshire Air Museum has a wide collection of aircraft from many eras and some excellent displays transporting you back to the wartime period. Well worth a visit.
