We got into town around eight and were just in time to see the Sarruga insects marching past Bold Lane. I think my fave was the mantis, I loved the way it nibbled on vegetation it [...]

Yesterday, I went for a meeting at Derby’s new centre for the arts and film, the Quad.
I’ve been invited, along with around with a few other peeps, to be a Quad Ambassador. Sadly, this doesn’t mean that I can embark on a crime spree and then scuttle to sanctuary in the Quad. What it [...]
Ahhh, there’s nothing as satisfying as emptying your inbox.
