Making a Scene -
Greenwich magazine
If blood started dripping through the ceiling of your workplace the last thing you'd probably do is shrug and move your laptop but for the Greenwich Theatre production team, whose office is under the stage, such gorey goings-on are all part of the job. More...

Stargazing
in Surrey - Surrey Life
Conditions are right says the message on the website, the meet is on. I pull on my hoodie, print off the directions and make my way
to the rendezvous point on Albury Heath. Switching to sidelights
for my final approach, I inch my car towards the red beams that
are weaving between the trees ahead.
An illegal rave? Actually, it's a Guildford Astronomical Society
(GAS) observing session and the only dancing I'm anticipating
will be to keep my feet warm. More...

Richard
E Grant - Richmond and I - Surrey Life
With more than 60 screen roles to his credit, as diverse as
pretentious drunk, grieving parent, Scarlet Pimpernel, two-headed
advertising executive and Spice Girls' manager, you could hardly
accuse Richard E Grant of being a one-trick pony.
The latest appearance from the prolific actor is in the play
God of Carnage, which comes to his home town of Richmond this
month, and this time he is playing, in his own words, "an utter
s**t". More...

To
B&B or Not to B&B - Surrey Life
Most Surrey business owners can only dream of getting Hollywood
exposure but that's just what happened to the proprietors of
Shere bed and breakfast Rookery Nook.
They opened their doors to guests two years ago when, by happy
coincidence, the film The Holiday starring Kate Winslet, Jude
Law and Cameron Diaz was being shot in the village. Not only
did they end up with some of the crew as their first clients
but their home made it onto the silver screen. More...

When
Keira Knightley came to Clandon - Surrey Life
Picture the scene: you're in elegant surroundings, tucking into
a fancy meal and trying to concentrate on your conversation
and all the while there's a man hovering round the candelabra
with a fire extinguisher and a woman at your back checking you
don't spill any wine or scrape your chair. More...

Mole
Valley LETS - beat the credit crunch - Surrey Life
Many of us may bemoan the fact that we work for dorks, but there's
a group of people in the Mole Valley who are more than happy
to do so. They've willingly babysat, fixed up houses and
even taken people to the airport for dorks. Because to those
in the know, a dork is not just a gormless person, it's
also a unit of alternative currency. More...

Stars - Hotline, the Virgin Trains magazine
Prise the kids away from TV talent shows and put real stars
in their eyes by getting involved in International Year of Astronomy.
You needn't rubberneck vaguely in your back garden; with
observatories and planetariums celebrating the 400th birthday
of the telescope there are plenty of expert-guided experiences
around to wow all ages. More...

Friend
or Foe? - Museums Journal
In our relationships with our friends we all know that there's
a certain amount of give and take needed. We try hard to be
charmed rather than irritated by their particular quirks and
enthusiasms and learn to be tactful when they call for a chat
when we're busy.
The relationship between museums and their Friends groups is
no different and most rub along harmoniously but, as with all
friendships, when fall outs come they can be very painful.
