What we like right now…Small Island, Secrecy, Sissinghurst

by Jo Willett on May 31, 2019 in Art, Books, Drama, History, Television with Comments Off on What we like right now…Small Island, Secrecy, Sissinghurst

Small Island – superb dramatisation at The National Theatre of Andrea Levy’s novel
Secrecy – compulsive, searing Chernobyl on Sky. Superbly done.
Sissinghurst – plants and history in the Weald of Kent

What we like right now…Scandals, South Africa and Scott Miller

by Jo Willett on May 27, 2018 in Art, Books, Drama, Exhibitions, History, Television, Travel with Comments Off on What we like right now…Scandals, South Africa and Scott Miller

Loving:  Russell T Davies’ adaptation of John Preston’s A Very English Scandal.  Bunnies can and must go to the BAFTAs. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/may/27/sundays-best-tv-a-very-english-scandal-jonathan-meades-on-jargon

 

 

 

 

 

Melissa Scott Miller’s award-winning pictures of North London. http://www.scottmillerart.com/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The South African garden at RHS Chelsea.  Robbed of a gold but silver guilt nonetheless.
