Live on Stage – Not for the Squeamish, written by TV’s favourite doctors, Dr Chris and Dr Xand, which has opened at the Lyric Theatre in London’s West End. The strictly limited season must end on 16th January 2022….
I was really keen to re-visit the wild flower meadows we discovered in Ickenham last year. I had a few comments about it on my Instagram and wanted to pop over to see if the same fields had been left as wild flower meadows. We’re lucky to have lots of open green spaces in Hillingdon…
