An Affair, Lies & Betrayal - Phillip Schofield

In a story full of plot twists, Phillip Schofield's exit from ITV is a game of public relations as it becomes a he said and they didn't. It's a toxic place, some people are saying. The smiley illusion of breakfast morning television has been smashed to daytime crumbles of biscuits. The whispers of scandal on mainstream media, have apparently been widely discussed on social media for some time. I watched a few TikTok videos, and I guess we'll see how it all unfolds, how much of the rumours are fact and indeed, how it is all managed by the various parties. This is the real life drama of when secrets come out, though it seems this secret was out for awhile, just not out for everyone. It's trending on social media and hitting front pages of newspapers. What is fascinating is the impact on brands - not just Phillip Schofield's, but also his co-star's, the This Morning show and the broadcasting network, ITV. The inciting incident seems to be Phillip Schofield

Queen's Freddie Mercury Sotheby's Exhibition

December 20, 2023

Words have power. The lines of Freddie's songs have become anthems. They have immortalised a man who dared to experiment and challenge existing norms. As I walked through the exhibition, a recreation of his home, among all his personal belongings, it was a chance to glimpse someone I knew very little about. It deepened my love for his songs and music. It made me realise what a genius he was. To be honest, I liked the songs, but after the exhibition, I listened to them, connecting to the man behind the lyrics. I began reading one of the biographies. I've watched his concerts, which seem to play more on television these days. There's a renewed interest in Queen and perhaps, like me, Freddie Mercury has found new fans in 2023. My YouTube series about the exhibition found a vast audience, reaching more than 20,000 views. Music, videos and photography, as a creator and consumer, add so much to my life as a writer. I wanted to make more videos in 2023, and develop an online

Technology Can't Replace This

ChatGPT, TikTok and all the other technology that is bombarding us continues to stoke fears of what we will lose and how things are being replaced. People spend more time than ever on technology, including up to 7 hours a day using the internet. Even with all the bustle and craziness around us, there's one thing that hasn't yet been replaced by technology. It's been around since Roman times and is still an important part of our community today. I am referring to the bench - that thing you plant your bottom on, that you find in various places when you're out and about. Panelled benches were the most common form of seating in medieval halls, whilst a chair was a luxury reserved for those of high status. In fact, status also dictated if people used their benches for eating, lounging, and sleeping, or rather, individual pieces were used for each specific use. Benches are extraordinary. We take them for granted, but what a difference they make when you're tired and ne

Fun Facts - Great Black Backed, Pacific & Kelp Gulls

Did you know? 1. The great black-backed gull is the largest member of the gull family. 2. It is very aggressive, frequently hunting and killing any prey smaller than themselves, by swallowing whole most food, including fish and even other gulls. 3. They rely on aggression, physical strength and endurance, and can attack other flying birds, pursuing them by jabbing with their bill, hoping to create an open wound or exhaust their prey. 4. They grow to 64–79 cm (25–31 in) long, 1.5–1.7 m (4 ft 11 in – 5 ft 7 in) by wingspan and 0.75–2.3 kg (1.7–5.1 lb) 5. The oldest recorded age for a wild great black-backed gull is 27.1 years. 6. The Pacific Gull (pictured), the largest black backed gull in Australia, has an enormous yellow bill, tipped red, as if dipped in paint. 7. It drops crabs or sea urchins onto rocks from the air, at about 10 to 15 metres while flying, in order to break them open. 8. They are the gulls in Finding Nemo which say "mine." 9. The native to the coasts of

Tip for London's Columbia Rd Flower Market
