Apologies: I had my elbow replaced on Tuesday. Yes, I didn't know you could do that either. I was planning a blog post about the wonders of the NHS but it turns out that after surgery you do a lot of falling asleep, so it's going to have to wait for next week. Let's meet up then

Can’t wait to see a legend in action! Oh, and it will be nice to see Sian Phillips as well.

Emperor: the Rise and Fall of a Dynasty starts on Saturday Channel 5 at 9.25 pm. Tune in & hear me say something incredibly thought provoking about ancient Rome. Or more likely tune in to hear me recount some of the sexiest, orgytastic stories the Ancient Romans bequeathed us

Flicking thru' photos & realised I've got a very specific set of 'how it started' and 'how it's going'. (For context these were the only two times I've ever held sword and shield. Fighting is not for me! I'll stick to writing about those brave souls who did this 😅)
