After today's ridiculous "Outing" of William Hague by Guido Fawkes, I fully expected my MP to come out screaming and shouting about privacy and rumour mongering. She after all, was the "Victim" of such an attack. She issued a writ against Damian McBride for his slanderous emails…I will not repeat the contents of them, as [...]
So the tour ended a day early as we were all knackered, and Mrs Plug was not feeling up to much. We will be partaking of the final day, a trip to Thorpe Park, at a later date to be decided. The final day was therefore, spent in London, We started the day in Bedfordshire, [...]
Up at nine after our made first two days…we had promised the girls a more relaxing day. We had decided that we need a bit of seaside in our tour, so we popped to Brighton for the day. A long train journey passing so many of my old haunts brought back many memories, not many of them [...]
We set off on Saturday morning at 4.30 in a cab…the girls had no idea where we were going, but were quite chuffed when we arrived at Luton Airport. The cab driver was in cahoots, and very sweetly played along with the joke for us. We were soon on our way to Paris, much to [...]
Well….apart from packing a small bag, I am ready for day one of the 5 day "magical mystery tour" as we have so un-amusingly, and un-originally called it. We will be leaving at 4.30am for the first leg, and should be arriving at our destination for breakfast. Without giving too much away (If little eyes [...]
We have now settled back into life in Bedfordshire after our week's holiday at Mr and Mrs Pops house…and what a superb week we had. I could blog for hours about what we did and what fun it was, but I have decided to word cloud it all…
Beatrix Potter, Helvellyn, Blue Tarn, Beautiful, Breathtaking, [...]
Yet more proof that the Coalition government's theory on Arts funding is skewed beyond all comprehension.

I recently posted on this subject here http://www.bartonbydesign.co.uk/mr-plug/?p=233
So we are looking at something even more serious. Whilst I genuinely believe that there is an opportunity for all arts organisations to really innovate and create as a result [...]
This time next week, we shall be preparing for our week in the Lakes with the lovely "Pops" family. It is a couple of years since we were last there, and although we will be without our smallest companion this time, I am really looking forward to it. We approach the end of a hard [...]
I write this, dear reader, from the safety and comparative warmth of my new MAc mini. Well I say new, it is actually second hand…a purchase from ebay. I was disappointed to see that my Dell machine, had collapsed under the weight of it’s own crapness, and worked out that in order to fix it, [...]
