We love live music but because life gets so busy, we don’t get to go to concerts often. But I make an effort to make sure we go to at least one big live concert a year….last year we saw the totally amazing Queen! We almost missed out this year but at the last moment, […]

Apologies to those who have no interest in or knowledge of AFL Football, but I need to get something off my chest! I am a proud Geelong Cats supporter….have been all my life.

It stars well know Australian actors Craig McLachlan as police surgeon Dr Lucien Blake, and Nadine Garner as his […]
