The Tudors - TV series

*****

Politics, religion, conflict, attraction, sex: whats not to like about this tv series which is now in its second season? I watched a repeated BBC series on Henry VIII and his wives a couple of decades or more ago with my Dad and I was hooked....

The Making of Me: Vanessa Mae BBC1

*****

Was Vanessa Mae born a violin prodigy or did she become one through blood, sweat, tears and hours upon hours of practice? By all accounts, it appears that her mother was a major force in driving her success. From the age of 4 when Vanessa began...

Dunworley Strand, West Cork

*****

One of the best beaches in the area. At low tide there are loads of rock pools, rocks and a clean sandy beach which disappears at high tide. Clean clear water but unfortunately no life guard nor toilet facilities.

London House Hotel

*****

This low priced hotel/hostel was recommended by a friend as being good for short stays. It fitted my needs perfectly and I will be using it as my base for any future trips to London.

Clonakilty Model Railway Village

*****

I love finding something great almost on your doorstep that you've ignored for years. We finally took a trip to the Model Railway village last weekend and it was a resounding success. Kids, young and old will have some fun here. I've lost...

Cafe La Potiniere, Chamonix

*****

Standard tourist fare but not bad and amazing value. Fixed price menus great. Try the fondue, raclette or pelas to get a feel for local cheesy dishes. Side salads not great. You'll leave sated and stuffed.

Le Bartavel restaurant, Chamonix

*****

Very busy italian-food place but very middle of the road. One good pizza (salami), one great one (calabrese), a poor green salad and poor italian 'garlic bread'. Good fast service tho and a total bargain, like most things here, compared to Ireland.

Bobby movie

*****

I've never really known much about the Bobby Kennedy story except for contextual info around JFK. This movie passed me by on its cinema release and I just spotted it on Sky Movies. The description sounded good along with an all-star cast.I haven't...

Science Museum London

*****

You need two days to do this properly. I felt like a small child runnning around looking at some of the incredible displays.

A Commonwealth of Thieves, by Thomas Keneally

*****

A reasonable introduction to the (colonial) history of Australia, that promises just a little more than it delivers.

Published 6 years ago about one of the greatest ever comedians, this left me deeply sad for our loss.
