Benjamin Pollock's Toyshop Toy Theatre Ipad App!



You can count down the days to this amazing app's release on your fingers now! An ingenious concept, which will appeal to fans of toy theatres, Shakespeare (since the initial array of characters one can utilize to make a personal production herald from A Midsummer's Night Dream)and amateur film makers - the record back facility is truly impressive; an aesthetic delight.

A photo journal to bring me up to date....

There's been a definite lack of enthusiasm, it would seem, in terms of relaying this, that and everything in between, as found through my daily internet trawls, now that summer has entirely succumbed to an early, yet powerful, winter. To see snow on the 30th November, my birthday, was a truly abstract experience, for at the most it most made a slightly early marker for the ensuing advent; Christmas tree erected, decorations perfectly adorned and brilliant, white fairy lights twinkling in a preordained rhythm.

From my last entry to present, to sum up in brief what was come to pass, I share some photos taken impromptu, on the go, with the BlackBerry.

The Oak Room Shop


Stable Yard is an exciting, new retail destination in the grounds of Hatfield House, the home to the 7th Marquess of Salisbury and a mere 21 miles north of London in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Besides being a beautiful getaway treat for families and grown ups alike, the units assembled here offer a unique and interesting experiencing, purveying products you'd be loathe to find all in one place.

One shop in particular is bound to take your fancy, as it did mine, and that is the Oak Room Shop. A visual treat to behold, if only for its spectacular furnishings and beautiful interior, the shop houses something for everybody, including those special bits and bobs you'd have usually to travel far and wide to see in a single sitting.

Belle and Boo Wall Stickers!


Belle and Boo, being perhaps my favourite producer of beautifully illustrated and designed greeting cards and paper accessories, now produce amazing wall stickers! I've seen other wall stickers of late, such as from the French company Djeco, but these REALLY take the biscuit!
