A Twin Peaks Locations Tour

When Twin Peaks first aired here in the UK in 1990 I was obsessed, collecting articles from magazines and recording each episode to VHS; a David Lynch-obsessed 16 year old who dreamed of drinking black coffee at the Double R Diner. 32 years later, I did just exactly that. Back in 2008 I took my… Read More A Twin Peaks Locations Tour

Miami – An Art Deco Tour

Two years later than planned I finally flew to Miami. I felt as if I’d lost the rhythm of travel; all those pre-trip routines I used to be able to do in my sleep had been forgotten thanks to Covid and lockdowns, and my journey to Miami felt stressful, admin-heavy and I felt every one… Read More Miami – An Art Deco Tour

Nassau – A pirate lover’s tour of the Bahamas

So much of what we see and read about of the pirate world is based around stereotypes from Stevenson’s Treasure Island, cartoons and exaggerated caricatures, but researching the real privateers of the 18th Century takes you all the way to the city of Nassau, capital of the Bahamas, in New Providence Island. Rather than stay… Read More Nassau – A pirate lover’s tour of the Bahamas

A Hot Fuzz Tour of Wells, Somerset

If you’ve seen any scene from Hot Fuzz, chances are you’ve seen Wells on screen. With the exception of a few locations from the film, Hot Fuzz was filmed almost entirely in director Edgar Wright’s childhood home in the gorgeous county of Somerset. Wells holds the title of ‘Smallest City in England’ which is one… Read More A Hot Fuzz Tour of Wells, Somerset

Jon Bernthal @ For The Love of Sci Fi, December 2019

The first time I met Jon Bernthal was at London’s first Walker Stalker Con in 2016, when their events were in their heyday, viewing figures for the show were pretty high, and I knew him as Shane from The Walking Dead and from The Wolf of Wall Street. Since then he’s become one of my… Read More Jon Bernthal @ For The Love of Sci Fi, December 2019

Rocketman + Q&A with Taron Egerton and Dexter Fletcher

It takes a special kind of event to get me to travel to London and back after work these days now I’m queen of the early night and the early start, but the promise of seeing one of my favourite films of this year followed by a Q&A was something I couldn’t pass up. This… Read More Rocketman + Q&A with Taron Egerton and Dexter Fletcher

A Better Call Saul Tour of New Mexico

It was inevitable that when visiting friends in New Mexico (especially those who love the Breaking Bad world as much as I do) that we would end up visiting locations from the show. Better Call Saul brought us back to some familiar locations (Loyola’s, Mike’s house) and plenty of new ones. There are plenty of… Read More A Better Call Saul Tour of New Mexico

A Breaking Bad Tour of New Mexico – Part 2

Here’s the second part of my New Mexico photo tour through the eyes of a Breaking Bad fanatic – and once again it’s was possible thanks to a great deal of help from friends (shoutout to Ron, Anna, Andrew, Ariana and Mary). If you read Part I then you’ll see I covered a lot of… Read More A Breaking Bad Tour of New Mexico – Part 2

A Breaking Bad Tour of New Mexico – Part 1

This really should have been the first thing I posted on this blog. I was introduced to New Mexico through Breaking Bad, and it’s the show that took me to that part of the US in the first place, but it’s become a favourite place to visit, filled with good friends, hot chile (yes, that… Read More A Breaking Bad Tour of New Mexico – Part 1
