After watching the film Bronson, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and starring Tom Hardy. I realised that I had heard nothing about the notorious criminal Charles Bronson (aka. Michael Peterson) before. I must have been keeping my head pretty deep in the sand from what I have read about him since. He was jailed for armed robbery in 1974 and has committed a string of crimes behind bars, including hostage-taking, and rooftop protests and has spent much of his time in jail in solitary confinement.

On Sunday evening with a group of friends we went to yet another magical Secret Cinema production. The organisers ask everyone to keep it hush hush so as not to ruin the experience for others who are going at a later date than you, so I'm not going to give you any clues as to what I saw because I more than recommend that you go and experience this yourself.

As October slowly rolls to a close, I'm reflecting on Sunday 2nd Oct 2011 – an absolutely splendid day. I decided to spend my precious day off at Brockwell Park in a desperate attempt to soak up the last rays of sun for my final boost of Vitamin D for the winter months. I happened to park myself and my bike close to the Community Greenhouses; luckily for me volunteers at the Community Greenhouses were hosting an event.

The Women of the World (WOW) Arts Fair at London's Old Spitalfields Market is coming up soon! In celebration of International Women's Day, the event will showcase arts and crafts made by women from around the world and there will be training workshops too.
