It's not often you get the chance to see one of our national treasures strutting their stuff. So seeing Dame Judi reprise her role as Titania in Peter Hall's production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' at The Rose was pretty special.

Do you have problems getting those charity donation bags collected? I certainly do and I find it very frustrating. But most of all I think the charities are being cheated out of donations.

Men selling fish, charity workers, and boys peddling expensive dusters. Just some of the assortment of people who turn up on my doorstep throughout the week.
The first two I understand, but I'd love to know who's behind the duster sellers.

Eden Walk management owe it to the businesses in the precinct to keep every area as clean as possible. Yet the same rubbish I waded through at 7:45 was still there at lunchtime.

The high costs of business premises in Kingston results in empty shops that have a knock-on effect on the businesses around them. It also means Kingston looks pretty much the same as any other town, anywhere in the country.
