The Time Traveller’s Guide To Regency Britain review: A mix of telling anecdote and pithy research

The Time Traveller’s Guide To Regency Britain 

Ian Mortimer                                                                                        Bodley Head £20

Rating:

Even the most devoted reader of Jane Austen might find themselves surprised at the reality of life in Regency Britain. True, a few lucky souls get to dance with Mr Darcy and go shopping for gloves in Bath. 

Everyone else is more likely to find themselves falling into bed at 9pm after 16 hours of back-breaking labour, having eaten nothing more exciting than a splodge of hasty pudding – a cheap concoction of oats, milk and a knob of butter.

One good bit of news, though: whether rich or poor, Regency people are able to wash down their food with strong drink. In the early 1800s, every man and woman over the age of 15 was consuming the equivalent of 20 units of alcohol a week – enough to get them labelled a ‘problem drinker’ today.

Ian Mortimer starts at the centre of the Regency world, Brighton, where ‘Prinny’ throws parties at the Pavilion (above. cartoon of the Prince Regent, ‘Prinny’, by James Gilray from 1792)

Historian Ian Mortimer has made this kind of imaginative time travel his speciality. He has already written guides to the medieval, Elizabethan and Restoration periods, and now he’s bringing that same mix of telling anecdote and pithy research to Regency Britain, that funny wedge of time squeezed between the Georgians and the Victorians.

He starts at the centre of the Regency world, Brighton, where ‘Prinny’ – aka the Prince Regent – throws glorious parties at the gaudy Pavilion, chases ladies of easy virtue and tries very hard to squeeze his increasingly large gut into his very loud waistcoats. 

Prinny’s secret wife, Mrs Fitzherbert, lives in a mansion around the corner. Mortimer calls the Prince ‘an insensitive, fat pig’, and the more you read about him, the more you see his point.

There is, though, an upside to the fact that Regency society is so transfixed with flashy surface rather than authentic identity. For one thing it means that climbing the greasy pole is easier than at any point in history.

Mortimer tells us about Harriet Mellon, born the illegitimate daughter of an Irish peasant, who wiggled her way into the theatre as a mender of theatrical costumes. The playwright Sheridan cast her in his masterpiece The Rivals in 1795, and soon she is earning a colossal £600 a year. 

This, though, is peanuts because by now Harriet has a very rich admirer in the shape of Thomas Coutts. On his death, Harriet inherits 50 per cent of Coutts bank in her own right, and from here she proceeds to marry a duke.

From hungry urchin to duchess was an astounding transformation and one that could not have happened at any point in history before the Regency, which Mortimer paints as a vast game of social snakes and ladders.

There are other freedoms too. As far as gender is concerned, Regency people seem far less binary than you might expect. Mortimer tells of a Colchester housemaid who worked for 30 years until, after her death in 1811, she is found to have been born a man.

Or what about James Miranda Barry, the hero doctor who performed the first fully successful caesarean in 1826? Only when his body is being prepared for a funeral does it become clear that Dr Barry is actually a woman who adopted a male persona in order to enter medical school.

Such gender-bending, and much else besides, will become unimaginable in the looming Victorian age when the bossy new bureaucratic culture will require everyone to know their place and stick to it. 

  Friends And Enemies: A Memoir

Barbara Amiel                                                                                           Constable £25

Rating:

In this rags-to-riches-and-almost-back-again memoir, the permanently affronted conservative journalist Barbara Amiel (80 this year) relates her journey from neglected child from Hendon, North London, to successful career girl sleeping about town, through three husbands and then her fourth and final marriage, at the age of 51, to former media proprietor Conrad Black, Lord Black of Crossharbour, who was convicted and imprisoned for fraud in 2007.

To say Amiel feels hard done by is an understatement. No injury, slight or even funny look directed at her or Black is left unmentioned. At the end, in case you’ve not been paying attention, is a list of her friends and enemies, like something you might come across in a teenager’s diary.

She has had a fascinating life, and one has to admire the fact that she clawed her way out of a hideous childhood. She is brainy but, as she never fails to remind the reader, she is also physically blessed – her breasts alone receive several pages of attention.

Her frankness is breathtaking, with numerous startling mentions of her sex life. Dogs appear regularly – while her lover looks on, a Doberman licks whipped cream off her nude body (‘probably horrible artificial stuff’). 

Another canine, Gogo, she kicks almost to death. Perhaps this sociopathic behaviour is down to her lifelong codeine addiction and her appalling diet of Carnation milk and Ribena.

Her time living on Manhattan’s swanky Upper East Side provides much entertainment. Amiel had to try to keep up with all the rich people the Blacks know by spending vast amounts of money on jewellery, Hermès handbags and Parisian haute couture – she doubled the amount every year. 

But a lot of the fun goes out of the story when Lord Black is arrested, because Lady B makes a miserable prisoner’s moll.

Friends And Enemies seems to be mostly about her settling old scores. ‘I have no forgiveness in me,’ she concludes. No kidding.

Steffan Rhodri and Nathaniel Parker in THIS HOUSE at Chichester Festival Theatre. Photo by Johan Persson

Rehearsals began today (Monday 22nd January 2018) for the first UK tour of This House, which opens at West Yorkshire Playhouse on 23 February (national press night 28 February). The cast – who play a colourful host of MPs and Whips – is Ian Barritt (Batley & Morley/Woolwich West/Belfast North/Western Isles & Ensemble), William Chubb (Humphrey Atkins), Giles Cooper (Fred Silvester), Stephen Critchlow (Bromsgrove/Abingdon/Liverpool Edge Hill/Paisley/Fermanagh & Ensemble), James Gaddas (Walter Harrison), Natalie Grady (Ann Taylor), Ian Houghton (Armagh, Ambulance Man, Ensemble), David Hounslow (Joe Harper), Marcus Hutton (Ensemble), Harry Kershaw (Paddington South/Chelmsford/South Ayrshire/Henley/Marioneth /Coventry North West/Rushcliffe/Perry Barr & Ensemble), Louise Ludgate (Rochester & Chatham/Welwyn & Hatfield/Coventry South West/Ilford North/Lady Batley & Ensemble), Geoffrey Lumb (Clockmaker/Peebles/Redditch/Stirlingshire West/Clerk & Ensemble), Nicholas Lumley (Oxshott/Belfast West/St Helens & Ensemble), Martin Marquez (Bob Mellish), Matthew Pidgeon (Jack Weatherill), Miles Richardson (Speaker Act I/Mansfield/Sergeant at Arms Act II/West Lothian & Ensemble), Tony Turner (Michael Cocks), Orlando Wells (Walsall North/Plymouth Sutton/Serjeant at Arms Act I/Speaker Act II/Caernarfon/Clerk & Ensemble) and Charlotte Worthing (Ensemble). Ian Houghton, David Hounslow, Matthew Pidgeon, Tony Turner and Orlando Wells return to This House having previously appeared in the West End production.

James Graham’s critically acclaimed and prescient political drama takes on a new importance in the current political climate. Are we in the midst of a political revolution? Can the country stay united? Roll back to 1974… The corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and back biting as Britain’s political parties’ battle to change the future of the nation, whatever it takes.

In an era of chaos, both hilarious and shocking, when votes are won or lost by one, there are fist fights in the parliamentary bars, high-stakes tricks and games are played, and sick MPs are carried through the lobby to register their crucial votes as the government hangs by a thread. This House strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes; the whips who roll up their sleeves and on occasion bend the rules to shepherd and coerce a diverse chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments.

Directed by Jeremy Herrin with Jonathan O’Boyle, the production is designed by Rae Smith with lighting design by Paule Constable and Ben Pickersgill on tour, music by Stephen Warbeck, choreography by Scott Ambler and sound by Ian Dickinson.

This House is produced on tour by Jonathan Church Productions and Headlong.

The sounds of California… the climate of Seattle.

Maverick Saturday had the real flavour of the West Coast, particularly on the open air Southern Sounds main stage, with a wide range of the Golden State’s sun-drenched sounds and an increasingly ominous Rain City sky.

Kev Walford & Kelly Bayfield [main picture] were the ideal breezy main stage openers, with Crosby/Nash-like increasingly complex multi-voice harmonies on Money Rules In My World Now, and the moody Renaissance-style proggy folk of The Whistling Man with Kelly’s limpid clarity and a gooseflesh-raising midbreak of noodling Telecaster, soft mallet toms and lush wordless Crosbyesque harmonies.

Robbie Cavanagh [below] proved every bit as good as we recalled from previous hearings: from the big bold Jackson-Browne-at-Glastonbury sound of Get Out Alive with its anthemic progression and punchy chorus to the slow country waltz of Roles Reversed where Robbie’s breathy emotive vox and simple acoustic were backed by Everlyesque harmony interjections and pedal-steel-aping slide guitar. New song Helpless showed a sure hand with sweaty Memphis soul, with impressively soulful vox and twangsome solos from both Robbie and Neil Watkins. Eaglesy flavours abounded in Scars, with its portentous hook and slick multi-part vocals, and in the closing shitkicking two-step of Choked Up where the sublime harmonies shone in an a cappella passage.

Imogen Clark returned looking and sounding rather different to last year: the floaty troubadouress dress and delivery replaced by a spangly all in one trouser halter top and a similarly gussied up mainstream country sound. Easygoing fine vocals (and great backing from fellow Aussies Lachlan Bryan and the Wildes) delivered a Sheryl Crowish Late Night Girl and an anthemic Take Me For A Ride which left folks of a certain age humming Baba O’Riley…

A quick trip to the barn brought plenty troubadouress vibes in the solo acoustic set of Lilly Winwood [below], a deconstructed Big Skies ballad-style take on her father’s Can’t Find My Way Home amply demonstrating her big powerful vocal (genes really are everything!)

Returning to the main stage we caught a surprisingly young lad doing a brief but accomplished burst of Duelling Banjos before Lachlan Bryan and the Wildes’ own set. Lachlan’s gritty-but-mournful stationhand vocal fitted the excellent Outback outlaw country of Ballad Of A Young Married Man perfectly, with plangent electric guitar and girly harmoniess. Imogen Clark returned the favour by returning for bvs in the cinematic shamble of Deathwish Country and to duet with Lachlan on the old time Basics Of Love, while the dreamy Buddhist Priestess with lush keys had Hannah Aldridge guesting.

No Coward Soul drew the short straw - as they began their (for Plunger) curate’s egg set alternating upbeat danceable rockabilly meets Mumford & Sons cider advert tunes, with more intriguing numbers with touches of sophisticated latinate rhythms and some off-kilter Dead-style lopes, the long threatened drizzle set in, prompting an outbreak of brollies, cagoules and military spec rain capes [and the retirement of cameras, sadly].

Don Gallardo showed a very British sense of irony: Stay Awhile (with its “Sun is gonna shine” lyric) with great pedal steel came as the rain intensified and the exodus for cover began. There was more fine steel work (and weather references) in the relaxed Diamonds & Gold, and an appropriately dreich North Dakota Blues. Lilly Winwood brought her powerful voice to the bustling Shine A Light with chiming pedal steel and sunny harmonies, a slower How Many Days with its anthemic wordless vox-led coda, and the wistful acoustic two-hander Rhyder’s Song. The threatening chug of Banks Of The Mississippi, driven by choppy guitar and tight 1-2 beat, evoked the Stones’ miss you, which the band obligingly segued into in an extended coda!

The joint prize for bad luck and perseverance went to Seattle’s Massy Ferguson: their brand of grungy, southern rock-informed, clap-above-your-head stadium country (providing the punchline to a “Charlie Starr, Tom Petty, Kurt Cobain and Ronnie Van Zant walk into a bar…” gag) was ideal sun-drenched festival crowd-pleasing fare. As it was they played a spirited full-on set to a knot of (just plain drenched) die hards who lapped it up: screaming along to Powder Blue and jigging about to the metronomic Can’t Remember and Maybe The Gods with Rachel Harrington guesting. Wolf Moon was a brief moodier interlude with trad sounding melody and nice harmonica, but the set closed with the hypnotic hybrid of Lou Reed and Springsteen, Momma’s In The Backseat with its overdriven guitar harmonics and a proper ‘big rock’ ending.

Conceding defeat to the rain Jeb Loy Nichols [above] was moved indoors to the Peacock Stage. Perhaps he’d originally got a band lined up to play with, but here (with only the one acoustic guitarist and his own 3/4 guitar) he delivered a very mellow set that would have been incongruous following what preceded it on the main stage. His soft silky vox and soul-cum-jazz-cum-calypso songs (including the highly apt As The Rain, Long Live The Loser and Room 522) evoked Labi Siffre crossed with Gil Scott Heron (in my kinder moments: less kindly, Val Doonican crossed with Jake Thackray). At any other festival it’d have been raining wee-filled Woodpecker bottles outside.

With stirring, resonant voice, occasional electronic drums and atmospheric electric guitar accents Angel Snow [below} returned us to the West Coast in dreamy ambient country: the kick-driven dance-meets-Petty Secrets with its complex beats and chiming guitar, and the Viktor Krauss cowritten Lie Awake combined for a modern rework of Nicksian reverie or Miranda Lee Richards trippy whimsy.

Despite Ray Hughes’ mohican, Black Feathers’ old time harmonies delivered to a single mic were more in the vein of traditional Americana: the gentle, slow Lighthouse On Fire saw his-and-hers shared verses with wife Sian and a thrilling a cappella close, and more a cappella featured in the folky, backwoods Down By The River.

You can’t get more country than a former rodeo rider… Rachel Harrington not only brings the CV but also a classic Tammy/Patsy breaking-but-strong nasal Nashville twang, and a nice line in intersong banter. After the “a little ironic” Sunshine accompanied by JD Hobson on sweet dobro slide, and Hush The Wild Horses’ lazy four-footed stroll through Laurel Canyon, the lilting, folky-picked I Meant To Go To Memphis was prefaced with a tale of falling off the wagon thanks to the peculiarly British practice of “adorable little half pints”. That may have lain behind the tremulous country waltz Drinking About You, too, although military marching chants were the surprise inspiration for the Elvis-meets-101st Airborne rockabilly of Drop Zone.

Norton Money (Broken Island’s Dan Beaulaurier, Jeremy and Anna from Hallelujah Trails, and drummer Jamie Shaw) were the discovery of the weekend. A Cordovas-y combination of twangsome country, louche Dead-ish lopes, tight harmonies and jamband sensibilities ran through Queen Of Tunitas, the Mexicali-spiced Kickin’ & Cursin’, and a cover of Warren Zevon’s Carmelita with Anna taking soft impassioned lead vocal. Latest release The Ballad Of Hi & Lo (which we promptly bought right after the show) gave us Hey Lucy (one of several Caleish shitkicking boogies); Dream The Same Dream (after a Fistful Of Dollars intro) was a haunting minor key epic with soft mallet cymbals, hypnotic bass, fragile harmonies, and extended jamband plinking, while Lie Awake’s easygoing shamble developed into trippy Dark Star noodling and intertwining wordless multi-part vocals.

Hannah Aldridge covered almost the whole Americana spectrum in one set, from the folky acoustic-only emotive introspection of Gold Rush with her clear strong drawled vox and judicious harmonies from Robbie Cavanagh; through a cover of Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings’ Ruby with fine fiddle from Chance McCoy and bassist Gustav Sjödin swapping to guitar and lead vox, right through to Burning Down Birmingham, a rollicking, country rock epic with the crowd providing a lusty choir-and-clap backing for Hannah [below] to sing over.

Rich Hall’s parody / pastiche / homage to country (with a large dollop of stand up) was a hoot. From established routines like the riff on Ipswich girls (punchline “it could’ve been worse… she might have been from Colchester”), the critique of The Little Drummer Boy, (“… what is he going to do? Bonham triplets? Purdie shuffle? Nope… ‘pa-rum-pa-pum-pum’, Jeez”) to improv-ish songs for Gary and his partner, My Eritrean Trucking Buddy (dedicated to a local trucker) and the song for a psychiatric nurse about how country tropes and characters are all explainable by mental illness. His finest hour though came with his Bob Dylan song… with Bob on stage this evening we won’t spoil the surprise.

Having been caught out with the post-11 finish the night before we made good and certain to book a taxi for the 11.30 scheduled close on Saturday, but thanks to cumulative overrunning replacement headliner Will Hoge was so late on stage we only caught Oh Mr Barnum’s stately progress with high taut vox, relaxed rhythm and expansive overdriven guitar; and about thirty seconds of the rattling Pettyish freeway-cruiser Secondhand Heart before scooting off already late for our long-suffering cab driver…

IBM Launches Blockchain Platform on Cloud Service in Melbourne

IBM Launches Blockchain Platform on Cloud Service in Melbourne

                 IBM has released its blockchain main net

out of its data center located in Melbourne, Australia. This will purportedly allow their customers to run their applications on the company's cloud, according to an article published on news outlet ZDNet on Feb 11. The IBM platform was built on Hyperledger Fabric. Hyperledger is a project that aims to improve cross-industry blockchain technologies that is hosted by the Linux Foundation.

A Sydney-based IBM data center is reportedly set to open at the end of March, joining the other centers in Tokyo, London, Dallas, São Paulo, and Toronto. The head of blockchain for IBM in Australia and New Zealand, Rupert Colchester, told ZDNet that a second center would make the technology more widely available and provide a redundancy. Additionally, with the establishment of physical infrastructure, customer data will not have to cross borders, and would provide security for regulated applications in government and financial services. Colchester said, “Customers who are deploying blockchain applications have reached a maturity of projects that requires the data to be stored in Australia."

Colchester added that blockchain technology is widely applied and is “pretty much active” across all industries in Australia. He said, “I do very few education sessions nowadays, but there is a lot of discussion whereby clients are trying to understand how best they can apply it to the business problems they have." In September of last year, Australian real estate major Vicinity announced it will trial a blockchain solution for its energy network. Through a partnership with Australian energy tech company Power Ledger, the trial became a part of Vicinity’s $75 million solar energy program in Castle Plaza — a mall located in Adelaide, South Australia.

IBM has been actively expanding its use of blockchain technology. On Jan 31, IBM completed a blockchain-based trial in which it shipped 108,000 mandarin oranges from China to Singapore. The technology purportedly reduced paperwork handling and costs for the shipment, On Feb. 8, IBM announced that a project using blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) to combat drought in the United States state of California is underway. IBM Research and sensor tech provider SweetSense partnered with the University of Colorado Boulder and the non-profit Freshwater Trust to use blockchain and IoT to manage the use of groundwater.

6 lições de liderança da rainha guerreira que aterrorizou os romanos

 Boudicca - também conhecida como Boadicea na forma latina - é uma figura icônica, mas controversa.

Vista por uns como uma das primeiras combatentes feministas pela liberdade e por outros como uma assassina brutal e sanguinária, ela tem sido uma presença constante na história da Europa.

Cerca de 2 mil anos atrás, essa aristocrata da Idade do Ferro liderou uma revolta e quase derrotou os poderosos exércitos romanos que invadiram sua terra natal, no que seria hoje East Anglia, no nordeste da Inglaterra.

Seja amada ou odiada, Boudicca tem um lugar na história como uma pioneira, com a capacidade de reunir um grande número de tropas de tribos diferentes com seu talento natural para comandar.

 Então, que lições de liderança podem ser aprendidas com essa rainha guerreira?

 1.    Se vestir para a ocasião funciona

Todos sabem a importância de se vestir para a ocasião - mas Boudicca é um dos poucos que perceberam como isso faz diferença.

Ela é comumente descrita como uma mulher feroz e poderosa, dirigindo sua própria carruagem e brandindo uma lança, com seu cabelo selvagem voando ao vento.

Não temos como saber como a rainha realmente era, mas o historiador romano Cassius Dio - escrevendo décadas depois da morte dela - oferece esta descrição:

"Na estatura, ela era muito alta, na aparência, aterrorizante, no relance de seu olhar, feroz. (...) Uma grande massa de cabelos negros caía sobre seus quadris, em volta do pescoço havia um grande colar de ouro e ela usava uma túnica de diversas cores, sobre a qual um grosso manto estava preso com um broche."

Há poucas dúvidas de que Boudicca tenha sido uma das primeiras a adotar o poder das roupas para passar uma mensagem - ela sabia como aproveitar esse recurso ao máximo, deixando uma impressão duradoura em seus inimigos.

 2.    Um nome forte pode te levar longe

O nome Boudicca é derivado da antiga palavra britônica "boud", que significa vitória.

Boudeg significa portador da vitória, e Boudega - a alternativa feminina -, quem traz a vitória.

Podemos seguramente presumir que esse não era o nome que a rainha guerreira recebeu ao nascer, mas sim um que ela adotou mais adiante.

O nome forte parece ter ajudado na mobilização de um exército.

 3.    Nunca subestime as habilidades de alguém

O marido de Boudicca, Prasutagus, era o governante da tribo Iceni de East Anglia. Ele foi tolerante com os romanos invasores e por isso foi autorizado a continuar governando seu povo.

Mas, com a morte de Prasutagus, os romanos decidiram intervir.

Eles tomaram terras e, quando Boudicca se recusou a pagar grandes impostos, foi publicamente açoitada e forçada a assistir ao estupro de suas duas filhas, com ao redor de 12 anos na época.

Os romanos calcularam mal os resultados de sua punição.

Eles também subestimaram a ira de uma rainha desprezada: Boudicca decidiu revidar, reunindo tropas de sua própria tribo e de outras.

Os soldados reunidos derrotaram a Nona Legião Romana, destruindo a capital da Grã-Bretanha romana, Colchester, além das cidades de Londres e St Albans.

 4.    Treinamento efeitivo é mais valioso do que uma grande força de trabalho

Após a queda de Londres e St Albans, o governador romano decidiu reunir suas tropas e confrontar o exército de Boudicca.

Embora ela parecesse ter uma vantagem numérica, os homens indisciplinados e mal equipados da rainha não eram páreo para a habilidade de tropas romanas, treinadas profissionalmente e bem armadas.

Mesmo com dez vezes mais soldados, como hoje se imagina, Boudicca foi derrotada pelo exército romano. Ela morreu logo após seu fracasso, depois de supostamente envenenar-se.

 5.    Destaque-se na multidão

O ataque liderado por Boudicca não foi o único contra a ocupação romana, mas sua rebelião se destaca na história em grande parte porque ela era mulher.

A arqueóloga britânica Jane Webster, da Universidade de Newcastle, diz que "mulheres líderes ofendiam as sensibilidades romanas".

"Não era a ordem das coisas. É por isso que sabemos muito mais sobre essa rebelião do que sobre muitos outras contra Roma."

A professora Miranda Aldhouse-Green, também arqueóloga e autora britânica, acha que Boudicca "é uma figura icônica, porque ela foi uma das poucas mulheres a enfrentar o poder de Roma".

Na verdade, ela continua sendo a única mulher a ter liderado forças combinadas da Grã-Bretanha contra um exército de ocupação.

Os registros históricos que temos sobre Boudicca são escassos, faltam detalhes e os que existem são muitas vezes contraditórios, mas Webster diz que "ela permaneceu na literatura e persistiu como um bom exemplo de rebeldia porque era mulher".

 6.    É importante ter um modelo

Durante o século 16, as pessoas voltaram a se interessar por escritores clássicos, e o relato do historiador romano Tácito sobre a rebelião de Boudicca foi ressuscitado.

Outra mulher importante e poderosa no mundo de um homem foi a rainha britânica Elizabeth 1ª, que diz ter se inspirado bastante na história de Boudicca.

Muito mais tarde, os vitorianos reinventaram Boudicca como uma figurona do imperialismo britânico.

Talvez a rainha guerreira tenha sido mais apropriadamente reivindicada pelo movimento sufragista e pelas mulheres que lutam pelos direitos femininos.

Ela se tornou um modelo importante para uma geração que lutou contra o patriarcado e conquistou o voto para as mulheres.

O professor Richard Hingley, arqueólogo da Universidade Durham, no Reino Unido, explica que, por sabermos tão pouco sobre ela, Boudicca "é uma figura muito flexível e ambígua que pode representar muitas coisas diferentes para pessoas diferentes".

I Capture My Girlfriend In Thrilling Abandoned Locations Across Europe

We are Jade Stacy Maria & James Kerwin, an adventurous couple who met in early 2015.

Firstly, I am James, a keen photographer who for the last 9 years is known for the interior and abandoned architecture fine art photography work, however, I have occasionally dabbled in taking portraits of Jade and others to practice the art of lighting and to assist Jade in the up-keep of her portfolio as a fashion and beauty model.

Since 2014, Jade has taken modeling seriously, attempting to branch out and work with both amateur and professional photographers across the United Kingdom, starting from her base in the East of England.

I was always the adventurous type, so in January 2015, after shooting in abandoned places for just over 18 months, I decided to put an advert in an online forum called Purpleport, a place where photographers and models alike talk and discuss shoots either for TFP (Time for Prints) or for paid bookings. I was on a search for a few models to assist in a trial series of shoots, taking place in some of the best abandoned locations Great Britain had to offer.

Jade step forward and after some discussions, there we were ‒ standing inside Several’s Mental Asylum, a now demolished derelict hospital site near Jade’s hometown of Colchester, Essex.

It was only my second ever image taken inside these dark and poorly lit buildings. It was also a challenge as well as by 2015, Several’s was a place people were caught and turfed out very quickly by the security team.

Jade got ready in an upstairs room and we managed to take just three shots before also being caught by the security team. Nevertheless, we were happy because we had a great result.

The first image that we captured is the first in the list below, and although it’s not the most technical of images, Jade still loves it to this day. It was the start of a story and of a string of images that we were to shoot across Europe and beyond.

Each image tells a story of an adventure, travel and portrays my unique style. But it also provides us with memories as time flies by, year after year.

Since that day, Jade & I have traveled to no less than twelve countries together (occasionally with Jade’s wardrobe in tow).

I have explained a little about each image, where and when they were taken ‒ and we really hope that you enjoy looking through our creations.

More info: Instagram | Instagram | Instagram

Shot at the end of winter 2015 inside the abandoned Several’s Asylum in Colchester, this was the first image that I took with Jade

LOST | Later that year we undertook a trip to Belgium, creating this “lost child” themed shoot inside a derelict school Chateau Miranda, which is now demolished

AERONAUTICS | During the same trip in June we also shot for a local designer inside the entrance of this former office block

JOYRIDE | In November of 2015, Jade and I went on a road trip with another model to France and Belgium to undertake a series of portrait shoots. Here is Jade modelling in a retro dress inside a disused train carriage

LE GRAND JOUR | Later on the same 2015 trip, we entered an abandoned mansion packed with music equipment. The dress was borrowed from Silk Rose Bespoke

DOLLS HOUSE | Work of Chotronette, a Romanian design duo who featured in a lot of our early shoots can also be seen in this photo inside the same mansion near Paris

A SILESIAN INFLUENCE | After a break from portraits in 2016, we returned with this shot of Jade on a residential stairway in Poland in March of 2017

LARA CROFT | In April of 2017, we captured this “Lara Croft” themed shoot overlooking the rooftops of the abandoned city of Pripyat in Ukraine

SPRINKLES OF ORANGE | By now we had traveled to many derelict sites, but we mixed it up with a short trip to Iceland in June 2017 where we captured this moment in front of Skógafoss

THE MIDNIGHT GLOW | This derelict French chateau was stunning and I had a vision that I wanted to create using speed lights and a dress, that Jade just so happened to have in the car boot since our trip to Iceland

PORCELAIN CENTRE | Cutscene to November of 2017, when I uncovered this amazing room inside an abandoned hotel in France, which matched Jade’s dress perfectly

Not strictly a portrait, more like a snap shot, but it’s an image that holds fond memories. Stray dogs are common in Georgia, even inside this former Sanatorium

HEART SHAPED | In June of 2018, we found this amazing heart-shaped tree in Valensole, France. It’s a must, right?

Later that week, we shot this image inside a disused French Chateau for a Belgium-based designer

Ever the thrill-seekers, Jade popped on a red dress to make herself “pop” from my scene whilst inside this huge former power plant in Hungary

STEAM | A soviet train graveyard in Hungary was the perfect setting for a red dress

Not a model portrait, but this is us over-looking a derelict mansion in Portugal. Thank you for looking through!

Afobe double seals Wolves win over Burton

Benik Afobe scored twice as Wolves beat struggling Burton to move six points clear at the top of the Championship.

Helder Costa took down Conor Coady’s ball and lifted a finish over Stephen Bywater to give Wolves an early lead.

Afobe smashed into the top corner from Ruben Neves’ through-ball to double their advantage, but Lloyd Dyer’s half-volley made it 2-1 before half-time.

On-loan Afobe sidefooted in from 10 yards to secure Wolves’ win and stretch the lead over second-placed Cardiff.

Neil Warnock’s Bluebirds can reduce the gap to three points if they record an eighth successive league win when they play Derby County on Sunday.[1]

Afobe re-joined Wolves on loan from Bournemouth in January and came close to his first hat-trick since 29 November 2014, in a 6-0 win for MK Dons against Colchester, but Bywater did well to keep the score down as the league leaders finished strongly.

Dyer’s shot from a half-cleared corner through a crowd of legs saw Burton score with their only shot on target to end a run of four games without a goal.

But Wolves simply over-powered the Brewers, who remain three points from safety in 23rd place with one win from their last 12 Championship matches.

Miranda Hart (Miss Hannigan) in Annie at the Piccadilly Theatre – Photographer credit Paul Coltas

Miranda Hart plays Miss Hannigan with Alex Bourne as Daddy Warbucks, Holly Dale Spencer as Grace Farrell, Jonny Fines as Rooster and Djalenga Scott as Lily in the West End production of Annie at the Piccadilly Theatre. The title role of Annie is shared by Madeleine Haynes, 13-years old from Hadley Wood, Barnet, Lola Moxom, 12-years old from Rochester, Kent and Ruby Stokes, 12-years old from Hampshire. They are joined by three teams of young performers who play the girls in Miss Hannigan’s orphanage (see below). Amber, a 4-year-old Labradoodle, plays Annie’s dog Sandy. Completing the company are Russell Wilcox, Bobby Delaney, Keisha Atwell, Sophie Ayers, Nic Gibney, Patrick Harper, Ben Harrold, George Ioannides, Megan Louch, Benjamin Mundy, Ben Oliver, Heather Scott-Martin, Anne Smith, Kate Somerset How and Katie Warsop.

With opening night on 5 June 2017, the production is currently booking to 6 January 2018. The production, directed by Nikolai Foster, is produced by Michael Harrison and David Ian. Children’s tickets are half price for Monday to Thursday performances (see listings information below).

Set in 1930s New York during The Great Depression, brave young Annie is forced to live a life of misery and torment at Miss Hannigan’s orphanage. Her luck changes when she is chosen to spend Christmas at the residence of famous billionaire, Oliver Warbucks. Meanwhile, spiteful Miss Hannigan has other ideas and hatches a plan to spoil Annie’s search for her true family…

Annie has book by Thomas Meehan adapted from the comic strip Little Orphan Annie, music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin. The West End production will have sets and costumes designed by Colin Richmond, choreography by Nick Winston, lighting by Ben Cracknell, sound design by Richard Brooker and orchestration and musical direction by George Dyer.

The role of Molly is alternated by Aurelia Borrelli, eight years old from Saunderton, Buckinghamshire, Ellicia Simondswood, eight years old from Lower Morden, Surrey and Nicole Subebe, seven years old from Romford, Essex. The role of Tessie is alternated by Jessica Cartledge, ten years old from Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, Scarlet Grace, fourteen years old from Northaw, Hertfordshire and Dora Yolland, ten years old from Southend-on-Sea, Essex. The role of Kate is alternated by Shani Roberts, nine years old from Braintree, Essex, Emily-May Stephenson, ten years old from Swadlincote, Derbyshire and Maisie Thorn, ten years old from Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex. The role of Pepper is alternated by Drew Hylton, eleven years old from Loughton, Essex, Eva MacLaughlan, ten years old from Barton-le-Clay, Bedfordshire and Charlotte Ross Gower, fourteen years old from Sittingbourne, Kent. The role of July is alternated by Nancy Allsop, fourteen years old from Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, Carla Dixon, thirteen years old from Wimbledon, London and Isabelle Methven, thirteen years old from Harpenden, Hertfordshire. The role of Duffy is alternated by Kya Davis, nine years old from Slough, Berkshire, Nicole Dube, twelve years old from Colchester, Essex and Kathryn Whetter, ten years old from Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey.

[See image gallery at http://ift.tt/1FpwFUw] Foster’s production arrives in the West End 40 years after the original Broadway production opened in 1977 and received seven Tony awards including the Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book. The last West End production of Annie opened at the Victoria Palace Theatre in 1998. In 1982, Annie was adapted for the big screen directed by John Huston with a cast including Carol Burnett, Bernadette Peters and Albert Finney and in 2014 a further feature film was released, directed by Will Gluck, with a cast including Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx. The much-loved score includes the classics It’s A Hard Knock Life, Tomorrow and Easy Street.
