A note from the Editor January

Well I managed not to choke on the twelve grapes although this year I did cheat and get the seedless, peeled ones in the tin which made all the difference. We then saw in the English New Year which was just another excuse for more champagne and the obligatory ‘singing’ of Auld Lang Syne - well we won’t be auditioning for the X factor but we did a fairly good job of it - even the cat joined in, Oh sorry that was Colin!!

DVD Review Mamma Mia (PG)

I am sure by now you have all read more than enough about Mamma Mia – the movie! You have heard how it is one of the most fantastic films you are ever likely to see. Chances are if you believed the hype, you would have already seen it by now – umpteen times I would wager. The truth is that Mamma Mia really does live up to the hype – it is an outstanding feel good film that at the time of going to press I have seen seven times and I am not planning to stop any time soon.

Bennys HIT LIST January

LETTER OF THE MONTH - FROM ME It’s January and I suppose I have to wish you a happy New Year – so consider it done - but in all honesty do you really think it will be? The world is a battlefield in which we are all fighting for our lives. From the far corners of foreign fields with unpronounceable names, to our own little local town we are getting ripped apart by governments and fat cat industrialists that control everything from bloody conflicts to finance and pharmaceuticals to energy, food and even the air we breath in our rapidly depleting environment – and to make matters worse, when they make mistakes, we pay for them.

Firstly, a Happy New Year to all readers.

Unfortunately, for some though that is not the case. Many returned to the UK for the festivities; others remained in Spain. Whatever the circumstances they involve extended time with your spouse, family gatherings, the in-laws, excessive spending, over eating and drinking.

Nothing is over until its over.

Is that true? Well if it is, what is it saying? How about “Never give up”? Do we have to close doors when there are still things bursting to get out and move on in our lives – ideas, plans, hopes, dreams…. but do we close the doors and give up because we always think the worst and never expect to get results?
