Took a nostalgic trip back to Twin Peaks the #BFI last night, such a treat getting to see the pilot on the big screen in 35mm. I’d forgotten just how good a job of world building that 1st episode does, guess I’m doing a rewatch of the whole thing now.

A lovely wintry ramble around Section 3 of the @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social today and not nearly as muddy as I’d feared. The route is a mix of gorgeous villages I’ll never afford to live in and some stunning woodlands made this an afternoon well spent.

2025 was a sensational year for movies. I managed to watch 46 2025 releases this year and it’s amazing how many of the films in my Top 10 have sat there all year only to be toppled by One Battle After Another which I’m still thinking about weeks after seeing it. @letterboxd.social

After a longer than intended break, I ticked off Section 2 of the @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social this afternoon. A gorgeous but very muddy Autumnal ramble from Old Bexley to Petts Wood. Some absolutely stunning scenery, Five Points Bridge & the William Willet memorial sundial were the standouts.

Wes Anderson: The Archives is absolutely worth a visit if you’re a fan of his films. It’s incredible just how much detail goes into his movies, it’s fantastic seeing how well preserved everything is.

@noclipvideo.bsky.social it’s only small but the London Film Festival is hosting an Indie Games Lounge at the BFI IMAX in London. It’s not been massively advertised but thought your London audience might want to check it out.

If you’re not into street art, it’s unlikely to sway you but I had fun strolling round it for 90 minutes or so.

I’m more an Invader fan than I am of Hirst or Fairey but I quite enjoyed their collab, Triple Trouble which is on display at Hirsts Newport Street Gallery. Invaders work is better seen in the street but this is a great way to see a bunch of it in one place.

So happy that my favourite cinema, the Odyssey in St. Albans is showing Harakiri, the top rated narrative feature film on @letterboxd.social. Never seen the movie before so I’m overjoyed that I get to tick it off the list and support an independent cinema at the same time.

Finally kicked off the @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social this morning, a very windy 9 mile walk from Erith to Bexley with @gojauntly.bsky.social as my trusty guide. Hard to believe some of this scenery is still technically in London, gorgeous stuff. Looking forward to getting stuck in now.

And managed to squeeze in a hike to the summit of Uetliberg, Zurich’s own (mini) mountain. Only 870m of elevation but the views it offers of Zurich and the Swiss Alps are nothing short of jaw dropping. #zurich #travel #hiking #uetliberg

Took a day trip to see the absolutely awe inspiring Rhine Falls, Europes largest and most powerful waterfall. It’s honestly amazing how close they let you get to it. #zurich #rhinefalls #travel

Stranger Things: The First Shadow absolutely blew my mind, how they achieved some of things they put on stage is astounding. If you’re not a fan of Stranger Things, it’s not going to convert you but if you are then it’s a thrilling addition to the series cannon.

The Cinema Museum is an absolute must visit if you’re a fan of film, London & the history of film in London. It’s an absolute treasure trove celebrating the rich history of picture houses that used to cover the capital, at one stage Elephant & Castle alone had over 40 cinemas in it.

Experienced ‘Danish Summer’ summer today which is heavy rain! Still didn’t stop me falling in love with a cinnamon bun at Hart, checking out the Noma gardens, ambling round Christiania and devouring the chicken burger from Poulette. Basically today has been recreating The Bear’s Copenhagen episode.

Gorgeous day in Copenhagen today, mostly spent meandering the city streets (and plenty of craft beer stops). It’s such a great city for just ambling round and seeing what you stumble upon.

Amazing day getting reacquainted with Copenhagen after a decade away. When I say reacquainted, what I mean is visiting all of the Mikkeller beer locations that have opened since the last time I was here. Such a great city to hang out in for a few days, as the kids would say, the vibes are on point.

I think of Paris as my second home, getting to visit a couple of times a year is therapy to me. Like London, it’s a city I’ll never fully understand or get bored of but that’s kind of the point. I loved @simonkuper.bsky.social Impossible City, he captures my feelings on the city of light perfectly.

Finally got to see the stage adaptation of My Neighbour Totoro yesterday and absolutely adored it. The production values were incredible, the way they brought Totoro and the forest sprites to life was astounding. If you need a pick me up, I can’t recommended checking this out highly enough.

Outstanding evening at the gorgeous Union Chapel for @pattonoswalt.bsky.social. Haven’t had the pleasure of seeing him live since 2019 and he didn’t disappoint, I really hope he doesn’t leave so long until his next visit. His bit about choosing money or a life well lived really hit home.

Popular Culture has drilled into my brain that rooms like the Reading Room at the British Museum contain secrets that’ll send me off on a global trotting quest for an ancient treasure. I’ve been playing way too much Indiana Jones…..

Hiroshige, artist of the open road is gorgeous exhibit celebrating the stunning scenery of my home away from home. Well worth paying the British Museum a visit to check it out.

#Sinners is an absolute certified banger and hopped straight to the top of my favourite movies this year. Coogler is operating on another level directing his own original script and Jordan does fantastic work pulling double duty as twins bringing nuance and depth to both. See it on the big screen.
