We Are Beirt | Aoife B. Burke & Miriam Burke
Post by T.M. So there I was thinking we had seen the last of awards style – aside from Cannes of course but that’s a different, stand alone, seasonal kettle of fish – and along comes the BAFTA TV Awards. Classier than all of those other British TV gong shows where fake tan, uber high […]
MorePost by CM A smidgeon of light, a tentative mildness, the promise of some sun this morning has put me in the mood for France. Forget about the oppressive heat of Dubai, where Karl has been showing his Cruise Collection; a pleasant sojourn to the movie capital of the Med would be just the ticket. […]
MorePost by T.M. I have a very bad habit of intending on getting up early on a Saturday. I set my alarm for 10 (of course I factor in some time for a much, much, much – I can’t stress enough how much – needed lie in) but more often than not, when the melody […]
