“I get a lot of pleasure from sitting in the audience and watching other people get laughs from my words. But I wouldn’t want just to write. I like writing, but I like performing too. It’s part of the same job – like making a sandwich, then eating it!”
Victoria Wood [1953-2016] interviewed in The Richmond Magazine, April 2007. She has been directing her own musical, Acorn Antiques, for the current national tour.

Realist, writer, reader, reviewer and rocker.

It is told from the perspective of one lone (or not so lone) long term visitor.
