Captains Past and Present by John Heald's Blog

Childhood memories are usually dominated by cloudless summer days, scraped knees from falling of your bike and burning ants alive using a magnifying glass and the sun. Mine are also dominated by the mornings when I’d come downstairs to find my school...

Mama Mia….Sacre Bleu…It’s Only A Game by John Heald's Blog

It’s been a tough day and as I write to you at 5:30 pm I feel very tired. My exhaustion has nothing to do with work but with the fact that the work has been done in temperatures of 80 degrees plus inside an iron box with no bloody air conditioning. This...

Hail Costa by John Heald's Blog

Whenever an actor is asked to slip into a toga he sees it as an excuse to go all swivel-eyed and bonkers. When it comes to the Romans, no speech defect is too preposterous, no gait too far fetched. We’ve had Derek Jacobi with his clubfoot and his stutter...

The Splendor and The Queen by John Heald's Blog

The hardest part of a diet is starting ……but I have and I admit I have found it as difficult as Paris Hilton would taking part in a 7th grade spelling test. However, as I ignored the gorgeous looking Italian bread and instead ate a bowl of...

A raspberry from Genoa chapter 1 by John Heald's Blog

I just went through one of those life-threatening moments of laughter……..the sort where your brain starts to run out of oxygen and you think your head will explode………I will tell you why in a moment. Originally Heidi and I...

Raspberry Blog- Part 2 by John Heald's Blog

So here we are flying at 35,00 feet. Our Easy Jet Captain just told us that he was expecting bad weather over Germany but I don’t believe him. I generally find that weather forecasts are written by J.K. Rowling and if you want to know what the weather...

Pressing the Wong Switch by John Heald's Blog

With my diet in mind and knowing that exercise will play an unfortunate major part in what is about to happen I realised that I needed to go shopping. This is because unless I was going to be wearing a blue blazer and grey woolen trousers on the treadmill...
