I have come back to the Coliseum for the second year running to watch The Nutcracker by the English National Ballet and the magical atmosphere felt even more special this time. This show is possibly the most magical family experience in London this Christmas. Damian Lewis and his children was sitting behind us and that made me even more excited.

We are all familiar with Secret Santa at work: it’s fun, surprising, saucy at times, and economical. Well we can adapt this game to our family gathering this Christmas, since, let’s be frank, we none of us have got the time or money or energy to be buying a present for each of our family.

A Christmas Gaiety: A one off ‘Queer Orchestral Extravaganza’.
Well, what AM I getting myself into. The mind boggles, all these drag queens bouncing off each other. I told my family and my son sent me an Insta link to one of them, Cheddar Gorgeous. The OUTFITS. Yes, I’m putting caps everywhere, because explosive is how it will be, and how I’m feeling about it. I invited my friend, and we…
