Book Review: The Dog That Nobody Loved by Jon Katz

Hello everyone! Guess what I have...? ANOTHER BLOG POST. It's about dogs. I have zero regrets when it comes to talking about our four-legged friends. In Britain, I'm not alone in how I feel as we love dogs more than we love talking about the weather and in working out how much our property costs. …

Fierce Festival – Director’s Q&A: Part 2 (Sunday 22nd October 2017 & Friday 3rd November 2017)

Hello everyone, How are we all? You might remember me blogging about this before a couple of weeks ago. I said I'd return to this at a later date, so here I am. You might also remember that I spoke an awful lot about what the Director of Fierce, Aaron Wright, said but this time …

Prince’s Trust: Day 36 (Monday 22nd May 2017); Day 37 (Tuesday 23rd May 2017); Day 38 (Wednesday 24th May 2017); Day 39 (Thursday 25th May 2017)

Dear everyone, The events relating to The Prince's Trust have been sparse. Outside of The Prince's Trust, it has been a discombobulating week which has left the nation reeling, grieving, feeling disgusted but great pride in how the nation has pulled together.
