It's always been important to me to stay inspired and to mark International Women's Day 2020 I'm celebrating some of the female characters I've found inspiration in. They are just some of my all-time favourite on-screen female characters. Whether it's through their strength, their sense of humour, their optimism, their style,...
Wine tasting on a Thursday evening. Who am I? Frasier Crane? I associate fine wines irrevocably with Frasier. And as I sat down at a table for NI Science Festival's wine tasting all I could think about was the episode when Niles becomes the "cork master" at their wine club....
In previous posts I've talked about my penchant for old buildings. I've done a paranormal tour of East Belfast's Strand Cinema, explored Hillsborough Castle, traversed Belfast learning about street art brightening up many abandoned buildings in the city; and much more besides.

For many, the words "one-woman show" brings to mind that Friends episode. You know the one. With the furious actress yelling at the audience "CHAPTER ONE - MY FIRST PERIOD." I've personally always liked the idea of a one-woman show though and c21 Theatre's 'It Only Takes a Minute' promised...
Listening to so many podcasts and audiobooks nowadays means I've really had to start making a point of setting time aside for music. I've written before about how each year I have a playlist that I update with songs I've discovered throughout the year - a sort of soundtrack...
The Nun, the latest spin-off in The Conjuring universe, was released at the start of September. Focused on the origin story of the demon nun Valak (The Conjuring 2), I had my reservations when it was first announced. The horror genre is a pretty barren wasteland when it comes to...
