I was going to present a Doctor Who Festival ‘Rap’ but thought it would probably end up being pretty lame. The reason I headed to Sydney was solely to attend this amazing event at the Hodern Pavilion in the same precinct as the Sydney Cricket Ground. I did end up with another day in Sydney, …
Picking up from my post a couple of days ago, here’s the second part to my recent week in New Zealand. Day Four The fourth day in New Zealand brought something I was very much excited about visiting before going there – Hobbiton! A farm which was transformed into the Shire for the Lord …
I think that in one trip you can have so many highlights. But going to Sydney to the Doctor Who Festival and meeting Peter Capaldi was just pretty gosh darned hard to beat! A wonderful man, the time he had for the fans and his honesty are only matched by his incredible performances, not least …
And here I am back safe and sound in Australia from my first ever trip to our neighbours across the ditch, New Zealand. Ironic that it has taken me so long to get there when I’ve been as far away as Central Asia, Iceland and Cameroon but there you go. So time for a bit …
