Whatever your convictions I hope that you have a peaceful Easter break and that the unseasonal weather doesn’t blight your holiday.  With all the trouble still bubbling away in the world in general we all need some time to reflect and consider thoughts that will guide us in the right direction.  The planet needs some respite so perhaps we could concentrate on that.  Let us help Nature rebalance and give us all a better chance.

with respect and all good wishes

My theatre going friends and I went to see the Lady Killers at Milton Keynes Theatre this week.  A snowy evening but the theatre was full which was great as the production was very good and the cast superb.  We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and I revel in some of the best of British talent that goes on the road (in all weathers) to bring a delightful few hours of escapism.  We are lucky in this country to have accessible theatre.  Also fortunate in our less accessible theatrical experiences as I went to the Royal opera House to see La Boheme, again an evening of pure magic and emotion.  Agreed it is quite expensive for a reasonable seat but worth every penny if you look upon it as a real treat and go less often. Perhaps that is something the ROH could work on (although I do realise this debate has been ongoing for years).

However back to the Lady Killers, everyone who left the theatre to go into the cold cold snow seemed to be smiling so the actors and production crew have done their work well, for which I thank them.

All the great religions have similar messages at their core. Messages of hope, peace, love and understanding with a huge dose of tolerance. Let us not spoil the original simple exhortation with a human desire to conquer and control.

I wish you all a hopeful and peace filled Christmas and New Year.

Renewed leaders and changing leaders in the super powers creates endless headlines for the media.  I implore all those with these great responsibilites to remember their election promises and also to remember that Nature will keep the grass growing, the trees reaching for the light and the sun and stars shining to lighten our world. Whatever we do I have great faith that Nature will restore. Perhaps those in the media who try to direct our thoughts should think on that as well.

I wish you good fortune. Denny Bradbury
