I have seen a lot of fringe theatre. Some of it is lovely. Some of it is trying very hard. And some of it makes you sit up and think: why is this woman not on my television screen right now? That is exactly how I felt after watching Baker Street Ladies at the Fireside Folktales Fringe Festival in Barnes on 24 May.
The play is a one woman show written and performed by Lexi Wolfe. She…
From Italy to London: a one-on-one interview with the editor of Il Fatto Quotidiano, Marco Travaglio, bringing “Cornuti e contenti” to the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. A few days before the show, I caught up with him by phone. I confess: at first I felt a little intimidated. Then I found him wonderfully kind and interesting. He even told me about his passion for karaoke.
When I learned that…
Once a year, I do something that makes my inner teenager do a little happy dance. I surprise my best friend from childhood, Donatella, who now lives in Rome, because apparently some people need sun and pasta to survive – with gig tickets. She books her flight and together we relive the music that soundtracked our awkward teenage years, our first crushes, and our terrible haircuts.
We’ve…

Wild Foxes effectively portrays how a trauma?riddled young man in a high?stakes sporting environment can quickly lose both a…
Everybody loves pizza. That’s just a fact. And when most people think of pizza, they think of the classic Neapolitan version: soft, puffy, leopard-spotted crust with a slightly charred, chewy edge. It arrives as a full 12-inch circle, often bigger than the plate, and you fold it like a handkerchief to stop the toppings from sliding off into your lap. It’s glorious. It’s famous. It’s been…

Finally, I managed to see Michael – the long-awaited music biopic about the one and only King of Pop. And let me tell you, London Mums, it was worth every single minute of the wait.
Anything Michael Jackson excites me. His music was the soundtrack of my childhood, my teenage years, and honestly, still pops up on every cleaning-the-house playlist I make. But this film?
Happy national herb day! There’s no better date than Saturday, 2 May, 2026 – the first Saturday of May, and officially national herb day – to enjoy a book that celebrates the very green, growing things that heal, flavour, and enchant our lives. And what a glorious invitation to the party Adele Nozedar has written. Foraging for Healing Herbs is not a dry botanical directory. It’s a ramble…
