The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show at Camberley Theatre Review

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show at Camberley Theatre Review

Everyone is familiar with the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. It has been a childhood staple for generations of readers and our children are no different. They know the story off by heart and couldn’t wait to see it live on stage at Camberley Theatre. Eric Carle’s books have iconic, colourful, hand-painted tissue paper collage illustrations and really simple stories. The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show has…

Madeira Cake Recipe

Madeira Cake Recipe

It’s a great bake to have as part of an afternoon tea spread, if a friend is coming round for a cup of tea or to take to a school bake sale. The lemon in the mix keeps the Madeira Cake moist and gives a very slight lemon flavour but this really isn’t a…

Babbacombe Cliff Railway and Oddicombe Beach

Babbacombe Cliff Railway and Oddicombe Beach

When we spent a weekend in Devon we visited Babbacombe Model Village for a morning and then decided to spend the rest of the day on the beach. But, wandering towards the coast we found the Babbacombe Cliff Railway and just had to get on it for a little trip to the sea front. The Babbacombe Cliff Railway has been in operation for over 90 years and is still going…

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie – Apollo Theatre, London Review

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie – Apollo Theatre, London Review
