Christmas Holidays 2024! Christmas over already, doesn’t it just come round so quickly as an adult?! When you’re a child it takes forever just to get through each hour in December, and the magic has been in full swing for weeks here – just how I like it! And now it’s back to school and work and oh isn’t this the boring bit! But boy did we have fun! Here was our Christmas 2024!
Dearest Florence – You Are Fifteen! Dearest Florence, You are fifteen, and wow, what a grown up girl you are! I remember turning fifteen so very clearly, and feeling quite grown up myself, but in truth, you are way more mature than I was at the same age. I could never have owned the poise and grace that comes so effortlessly to you, and I never knew anything of the hard work, determination and care you put into everything you […]
Michelmas Term 2024 – Part 2! Back to school for the last part of the Michelmas term and it’s been plays and sports and all of the festive cheer in the run up to Christmas!
Snow White At St George’s Theatre Great Yarmouth! Who knew that pantomime in a small theatre would be the very best pantomime of all?! Well, yes, I have to admit, I knew! But if you haven’t been privy to this piece of information yet, then take it from me and run with it. Sure, booking big theatres with big names as their stars can be fun, and there’s no two ways about it, ALL theatre is struggling financially so supporting […]
Little Live Pets My Walking Penguin – Waddles! The Little Live Pets My Walking Penguin – Waddles (by Moose Toys – £24.99) is one of this year’s top 20 toys as announced by the independent Toy Retailer’s Association earlier on this month! This is one of those ones you’re going to be kicking yourself come Christmas Eve when it’s all sold out if you haven’t snapped it up as it spans interest in such a vast age range that it’s […]
Crazy Forts For Christmas! What do all kids love to play? Building dens! that’s what! And if you’re a parent then you’ll know the pain of having all the furniture rearranged, with all the blankets that can be found draped over make shift forts of sofas, chairs and anything else which will give leverage to a structure. And that’s great but… Not terribly tidy, or practical, and, let’s face it, not easy either! I saw something recently at a press […]
Cinderella Rocks 2024 – At The Garage Norwich! Cinderella Rocks is back at The Garage in Norwich for the 2024 panto season and for my money I’d choose it over the big theatres any time. Supporting small theatre is a beautiful thing, it helps support your community, but more than that, it’s just really, really good! A cast of three fiesta sisters, and this is the story of Cinders, now “Ella” as you’ve never seen her before (unless you saw […]
More Than A Famous Face! With the rise of social media it has become even more apparent that the most strategic way of advertising has been through celebrity endorsement. It’s always been that way of course, with famous faces chosen to front campaigns for brands on television commercials and magazine ads, but what’s different now is that the celebrities themselves have taken control of what they endorse on their own channels, even making big businesses of their own which they […]
Winter Wonderland Norwich 2024! Until the 5th of January the fun will continue at Winter Wonderland Norwich, which means you’ve got LOADS of time to make a festive visit! We were booked to visit their opening weekend but the poor things had to close because of very windy weather. We will get there… We definitely don’t want to miss out on their ice skating rink, but I needed to tell you all about it before we go because time is […]
Stick Man Live 2024! Stick Man Live has been a stalwart of the London Christmas theatre scene for more than a decade a decade and I’ve been a consistent visitor to rvmeview for my blog. Itt never gets old, I, and my children (more importantly), love it every year and have failed to see how Freckle Productions could have made it any better – it’s simply brilliant. However, this year it does come back with a bit of an extra […]
