March April, 2025 May

April 25
A busy month! Highlights included Vics' birthday drinks in the early Spring sunshine, seeing Sinners at the cinema with Mike, work retreat in Norfolk, a quick road trip of the north to see the parents, and a few days in Paris to see the massive new Hockney exhibition!

Vics and Gareth at Big penny Social for Vics' birthday.

Sinners

Sinner (2025)

Kind of a hot mess of a film, but also really fun. It's too long and the vamps take too long to arrive, but Jack O'Connell is having a ball.
