The Wild Fruit Dance Tent at Brighton Pride

Ever since I can remember I’ve got goosebumps about the Wild Fruit Dance Tent at Brighton Pride. As a punter, as an admiring mate of the lucky DJ on the stage or later as a DJ in the tent myself, I’ve loved it. It has thrilled me. It has provided memories that will stay with me forever and it has always delivered. And this year I’m absolutely … Continue reading The Wild Fruit Dance Tent at Brighton Pride

The Ouch House Diaries were my missus way of getting back up right again. One day at a time. With pen and ink. And that’s why I’m so proud of her latest achievement. The Ouch House 200. … Continue reading Reason 86979272972 why I love Queen Josephine: Ouch House 200

Being LGBT in Uganda: There but for the grace of location go we

August the 2nd 2013 and I woke (slightly gingerly it must be said) to the above photo on Facebook. Uganda Pride supporting LGBT Russia.
