Following a hugely successful run at the Noel Coward last summer, 2:22 A Ghost Story makes a limited return to the Gielgud Theatre. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see the amazing Giovanna Fletcher as she was recovering from injury. From the get-go we are startled by high pitched screams and flashing red neon lights. Jenny (Rhiannon Hardy) is painting the house her, and husband Sam (Elliot Cowen) have recently bought and moved into with their daughter Phoebe. Jenny is alone whilst her husband is away for work and the ominous clock that ticks to the time of 2:22 and we hear muffled sobs and footsteps. Jenny hears this every night at the same time. Upon Sam’s arrival home they decide to hold a dinner party and invite his long-term friend Lauren (Stephanie Beatriz) and her new boyfriend Ben (James Buckley). Over the course of the dinner wine is flowing and tensions start to run high at the mention of the paranormal activity that seems to be happening within the house. Thus, opening conv...

What a month December was, definitely one of the busier months we have had in a while. I didn't feel that Christmassy this year. However, we still managed to have a good month so here are 5 happy snippets from it.

The main thing was being able to start doing normal things and being able to enjoy them even more. I thought I would pick out some of my highlights from the year. Getting Engaged In February I got engaged and it was amazing, it was at home, and it was very simple. Darren got me a card with some nice words and a rose and asked me in our living room. I had no idea even though looking back now it all makes sense. We have booked our wedding for summer 2023 and I am so excited for it. I have a wedding blog post that I will link,  Wedding Planning Part 1 Holidays We have been very lucky to have been on holiday within the UK twice this year and I am so thankful that we were able too. In June we went to Brean in Somerset for 5 days which was lovely, we stayed with my family in a lodge that had a hot tub. We also had lovely weather as wel...
