Figgy at the Wykeham Arms
Figgy is very proud to feature on the Instagram pages of the most excellent Wykeham Arms, where she is made to feel welcome on every occasion! LJ
Figgy’s First Mad Run of the Spring
Figgy was clearly delighted to apprehend the first fragrances of the forthcoming Spring this morning and celebrated the moment in a mad run around the garden, a far smaller space in which to dash around than that once enjoyed by Chloe at Hyde, but she made the most of the opportunity with some tight cornering!
A storm appeared to be brewing

The Three Musketeers: A Comedy Adventure | Theatre Royal Winchester
This was an extravagantly delightful display of coruscating ludic pyrotechnics and sustained intellectual and physical athleticism. Pure entertainment performed with unrelenting energy and an infectious lightness of touch. We enjoyed the ride!LJ
From Le Navet Bete, award-winning creators of smash-hit shows Dracula: The Bloody Truth and Dick Tracy, comes a hilarious new comedy adventure that will have you rolling with laughter from here to the French countryside.
Armed only with a baguette and his questionable steed, join hot-headed D’Artagnan as he travels to Paris full of childish excitement and misplaced bravado to become a Musketeer.
Will things go to plan? It’s unlikely. With four actors and over 30 characters, this will be their most hilariously chaotic adventure yet!

“Having settled this point to his satisfaction, the doctor stepped down to the hospital, to learn how matters were going on there; and as he walked across the hallowed close, and looked up at the ravens who cawed with a peculiar reverence as he wended his way, he thought with increased acerbity of those whose impiety would venture to disturb the goodly grace of cathedral institutions.
And who has not felt the same? We believe that Mr Horseman himself would relent, and the spirit of Sir Benjamin Hall give way, were those great reformers to allow themselves to stroll by moonlight round the towers of some of our ancient churches. Who would not feel charity for a prebendary when walking the quiet length of that long aisle at Winchester, looking at those decent houses, that trim grass-plat, and feeling, as one must, the solemn, orderly comfort of the spot! Who could be hard upon a dean while wandering round the sweet close of Hereford, and owning that in that precinct, tone and colour, design and form, solemn tower and storied window, are all in unison, and all perfect! Who could lie basking in the cloisters of Salisbury, and gaze on Jewel’s library and that unequalled spire, without feeling that bishops should sometimes be rich!”
