Doctor Who Christmas Special Preview!!!

I was lucky enough to go to the official preview of the Doctor Who Christmas Special at the BFI, followed by a Q&A with the cast and writer Steven Moffat.

Without giving anything away, you are in for a treat on Christmas Day!

The storyline is a bit bonkers but the doctor is on good form, Michael Gambon is brilliant as usual and even Katherine Jenkins is bearable.

Last post date before Christmas!

Within Tent!

WiTHiNTENT uses fabric from the tonnes of broken and damaged tents that are left behind at the end of music festivals, to create shower-proof clothing and accessories for the festival market. Each item is designed and made in the UK.

Such a fantastic idea!! I met the designer at the Eco Design Fair, and she ended up dressing as a cardboard knight!?
