Sorry about the recent break, it's been a bit manic at home since my Granny's death.. Things are starting to get back to normal now though so there should be more coming. Including something about funeral flowers which I'll get to this afternoon.

Absolute Magazine - June Issue!
The June issue of Brighton's Absolute Magazine is now available. This is the issue debuting my brand new retro column!
This month is just a little introductory column. I discuss what I think 'retro' and 'vintage' are (please feel free to challenge me with your ideas below!) and give a mini review of this year's and the first ever Atomic Festival which took place a couple of weeks ago.
The cover article is mine too - an interview with the beautiful Crystal King, Proud Cabaret's Miss Proud 2014. A stunning redhead, Crystal is down to Earth and full of ideas, read about my meeting with her on page 36.
Also in this issue is an interview with new fitness writer Sarah Hitchman, a beautiful fashion shoot in association with Barbour, and we meet Frank Skinner before his 'Man in a Suit' Tour to the Brighton Centre on June 1st.
Check the whole magazine out at www.absolutemagazine.co.uk.

Love and Death
My Granny passed away this bank holiday weekend. Bereavement is a strange thing. My Grandad died when I was 17, I was heartbroken. But I think age changes a lot.
That's not to say I'm not heartbroken by the death of my Granny though... I'm just not showing it in the same way as I did 8 years ago. We didn't see her as much as I used to, at the moment it almost feels like she could just be sitting in her hospital bed like every other day for the last few months. When I sit alone and really think about it, I know that I'll never speak to her again, see her, hold her hand or kiss her head. I never got to tell her about my new job; though I found out 4 days before the end I never told her, I just wanted to hear about her day the last time we spoke. I never showed her my Pin Up shots and she never got to see me Jive. I know she'd be proud of me though. I present two shows on local radio and she used to listen pretty much every week, unless she fell asleep on the sofa.
Anyway, this is just a bit of a stream of consiousness really, getting things off my chest. I will have things to remember her by, a teddy that I've been inseperable from since I took it from her flat, a beautiful pastel tea setand, mostimportantly, 25 years of memories.
