The Classic Car Boot Sale

June 5, 2017

On a whim a couple of weeks ago me and Him went for a mosey to Kings Cross, to investigate the Classic Car Boot Sale. A whim it may have been, but it turned out to be a WHEELY good day (sorry/not sorry). Popping up in London and Hastings a couple of times a year, the Classic Car Boot Sale brings together a whole fleet of Vintage lovers. They rock up in their beautifully shiny, restored motors from days gone by, and set up stall selling all manner of vintage booty- clothes, vinyl, homeware, ...

I’ve actually never stayed with this chain before but the promise of a saucy staycation with my beau in crisp hotel sheets ...

In The Heights at Kings Cross Theatre

October 27, 2015

UM SO HEY GUESS WHAT GUYS?! IN THE HEIGHTS IS AMAZING. Couple of weeks ago I was invited down to the Kings Cross Theatre to catch the Media Night of In The Heights. I saw this production directed by Luke Sheppard when it opened at Southwark Playhouse last year and I was utterly blown away by the energy, talent and vivaciousness (is that a word? That’s a word now) of the whole thing, so my heart LEAPT when I saw that it was transferring. And my god, it is still insanely good. The theatre has ...
