As I did the other night – just off the Strand with my old mate Steve Frost from Whose Line Is It Anyway fame. It’s an old London pub, tucked away off the main street. Busyish but not so packed. Steve is about 7ft 6 – and with his vantage comes great scope to spot…
Tomorrow I head south to join Mrs H in Tenerife for a few days – where our eldest son, Tom is finishing up a film called Heart of the Sea. This being Spain and The Impossible being huge in Spain, Tom is something of a celebrity – particularly with the youngsters and so much so…
It is with some trepidation that I consume the output of people that I know. Not because I worry that it will be too good and more successful than my own ventures – (which is sadly how too many show business people think) - but because I want to enjoy their work, so that I can shout about it….
Excitement in the Holland household as the youngest Holland son secures the leading role in the forthcoming school Xmas play – a feat never achieved by his oldest brother who was turned down for every speaking part in every school play that he ever went for.

I have been partial to a bit of self-help over the years and have shelled out much change seeking the ultimate alchemy. Jimmy Carr put me on to NLP and others have recommended their personal favourites… My latest acquisition is The Book of Afformations by Noah St. John. I came to the book by accident….
I am frequently asked the question… What is it like having four boys? Answer – loud, messy, fewer straight edges than we would like, ‘whose is this sock?’, ‘turn that down’, ‘be quiet’, ‘don’t be rude…’ But the Holland household is best summed up by this very short video below.

Getting home late last night – I noticed a review for my latest novel – A Man’s Life. (Authors check these things don’t you know?) 5 stars, no less – so good news – but quickly the review had some alarm bells ringing… What a surprise!, 24 Oct 2013 By Mrs. A. L. Buckley – See all my…
