In July 2023, Elizabeth L said about Lichfield Garrick Theatre & Studio
We went to see a performance of chanting and dance by the monks of the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, based now in Karnataka in South India as they cannot live, pray and teach freely in their home monastery in Tibet.
There was a short introduction in English, by one of their English supporters, describing the context of what we were going to see and hear. Each piece was probably no longer than 10 -12 minutes (one was shortened from 5 hours!), so the performance was accessible and enjoyable. The dance costumes are stunning in their colours and intricate Buddhist designs.
I'm a Christian, not a Buddhist, but I'm always interested to experience other cultures; there was a stall selling Buddhist merchandise which I didn't buy, but I did buy a gorgeously soft Tibetan yak wool shawl as a birthday present for one of my sisters.
I believe these performances should be supported: when a culture dies, part of our human history dies.

This is the first time that we have had curtains from Interior choice and can say the service was outstanding from the first time of visiting the showroom, where there were lots of sample books to choose from, to the final fitting of the curtains.<br>We feel confident in recommending Garin of Interior Choice.

In July 2023, Sherry Yeoman said about National Memorial Arboretum
Went for a specific memorial, but walked round looking at other memorials as well. Very peaceful, good paths, beautifully kept. Staff were friendly and helpful. Cafe for food was good.

Another five-star review! Highly recommend a visit but not really suitable for dragging the kids around. Get the 'road train' or take a walk. The centrepiece memorial, listing the names of those lost since WW2, is very moving, particularly with the blank panels for future conflicts. Also very moving is the 'Shot at Dawn' memorial. There are so many memorials here it's mind-boggling.

Living abroad, this was one of the places I wanted to visit, having never had the chance whilst living in the uk. It's a really nice place to visit, very peaceful and full of interesting memorials to see. Just be prepared to walk a long way.

Can across this by chance, and very pleased I did. A friendly welcome, and excellent introductory film covering Johnson's life. Not a big place, but the Johnson Society have tried very hard to collect momentos and bring his career alive
