Cotswold Distillery

A delightful distillery with some lovely gin and whisky.

The Longest Johns

This is a badge I nearly didn’t get. A bout of Covid prevented me going to the London gig we’d been planning to attend for months. Luckily we managed to grab tickets to the Southampton show a week later so I didn’t miss out. So much fun (and singing along)!

Festen Survivor

This badge is definitely pretty special – as I designed it and had it made, for myself, my family and most of all for my daughter who staged managed this show.

Pimoroni Pizza

Father Christmas dropped me off a cheery little badge in my stocking.

At The Barrier

I don’t think I can do better here than to share these folks’ review of the festival. And yes, I managed to acquire a couple of these – people know I like badges.

Cropredy Festival

Another year, another amazing festival.

John Otway

John Otway was playing at the GBBF. This badge is one I couldn’t resist.

Great British Beer Festival 2023

I finally made it back to a GBBF and it was a lovely day out with some very excellent beer.

Knossos

A badge design based on an old coin from this fascinating exhibition about Knossos. It was interesting to see the results of the recent archaeology along with some of the things I remember about visiting there when I was a child.

Robin Hood

We had a day out in Nottingham, and of course took the time to visit the statue of Robin Hood. I would also recommend Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem.

The Mousetrap

This was the second time I’d seen this show, but it’s just as much fun even when you know ‘whodunnit’. But of course, I’m not going to tell you who it is.

Imsety Canopic Jar

Imsety is one of the four sons of Horus, represented as a human.
