Over 30,000 comic fans emerged out of the shadows for The London Super Comic Convention, which took place last weekend over two days at the ExCel Centre. Attending this colourful event recently inspired me to create World Book Day costumes based on characters from Comic books. Here are my photos from the event that will hopefully provide some well needed inspiration. This year World Book Day is on…

As an Italian I am certainly biased when I list ten reasons to like Inspector Montalbano, the beloved Sicilian detective who adopts unusual methods to catch criminals. In Italy everybody knows and likes Commissario Montalbano’s adventures in Sicily thanks to two TV series which are super hits at international level. Even BBC4 shows them with Italian subtitles.
Here are ten reasons to like…
Before having a child, I used to be a disco girl and I went clubbing in London at least twice a week. I loved it and I would have never thought I would have abandoned my dancing shoes in a remote corner of my cupboard for a long time. Then Diego came along nine years ago, and I got so busy bringing him up and running my business that I did not even think of going dancing. First of all the…

Last 22nd January 2016 I was lucky to get tickets for Alexander Armstrong’s show at the London Palladium. It’s not that I love that theatre so much (and keep going back) for its historical importance (having hosted shows by Bob Hope, Peter Sellers and Judy Garland among the stars who performed there) but also because I love Jazz and the smooth voice of Alexander Armstrong, who is…
Netflix has just announced a new Kids’ Original animated series – BEAT BUGS. It looks super cute and is inspired by the music of The Beatles so is great for kids ans parents alike. I don’t about you yummy mummies out there, but I have already instilled a passion for the Beatles in my son. The Beatles should be introduced in music classes the same way classical music is.
