Myah. It’s not a word is it? But I’m feeling sort of ‘myah’ about The Fires of Pompeii. I liked it. It was definitely good. I’m just feeling a little underwhelmed and uninspired by it.

After a week away on a “gym and spa” holiday in South Wales, I’m back and raring to write. After a couple of days staying not too far away from (unbelievably) Port Tennant in Swansea, we spent the rest of the week in Cardiff.

You can find out more about it over on the TV Cream web site.
