From teacher: “Dear parents, a Xmas gift sounds lovely, but perhaps you’d like to take me off the email distribution list while you decide?”

What’s worse than having to go to school?
Having no school to go to.
I’m proud to have made this film with my amazing Silverfish Media colleagues for Theirworld, a charity getting on with it and getting Syrian refugee kids into school.
If you can spare a moment to spread the word or send the cash, you know what to do.
Meanwhile, for a definition of pluck, watch Nour, Ahmad and Mayass.
The Butcher of Bekaa
In Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, on a charity mission with my excellent colleagues from Silverfish Media, I asked this butcher if I could photograph him. He was happy, even toothlessly proud, for me to capture his handiwork.
But as soon as I started snapping, the guys in the background moved towards me fast, shaking their fists – and not in a good way.
I didn’t want to end up like the cow, so I put my camera away.
New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth
Happy to see that the New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth, has reopened with a new studio dedicated to my brother, Anthony.
Pompey has a special place in our hearts, for myriad reasons, so it is great that Anthony is remembered and celebrated here.
