The Mill at Sonning provides another triumph with their rendition of Calender Girls, 25 years after its original publication.
This particular interpretation of the play pays tribute to the female spirit and determination provided by a stellar cast and skilful direction from Sally Hughes.
As an ensemble piece, each Actor holds true to the text and delivers authentic and outstanding performances throughout.
Natalie Ogle displays every emotion with a rare ability to show us her inner suffering after her husband’s passing, combined with her resolve to make sense of it all.
Sarah Whitlock – a powerful and perfectly timed performance and rendition of Jessie, and Rachel Fielding – a delightfully ebullient and moving interpretation of Chris.
Oscar Cleaver as Lawrence is hilarious as the young, awkward photographer, who has difficulty in averting his gaze in the presence of the jovial gathering of mature models at the photoshoot.
Ciara Janson grows from a timid over accommodating young woman, into one not to be messed with, after the discovery of her husband’s constant infidelity.
Debbie Arnold is a seemingly rebellious individual, unlike other WI members, but we are proved wrong as she becomes a tower of strength to her collaborators as they weave their web of delights in the planning of the ‘unique’ fundraiser.
As a big fan of The Mill at Sonning, it doesn’t take much to convince me to visit, but this Production exceeds all expectations, and as an already highly popular production, if you can beg, steal or borrow a ticket, I would advise you to go!
I have met a multitude of psychics over the years, and had a variety of readings, but when I met June Field, I knew I had been introduced to a medium and spiritual healer more tuned in, empathetic and extraordinary than any other.
It is not surprising that June has been voted the ‘World’s Best Psychic’ when she worked with the police a few years ago in the Ukraine to find a killer of young women. June not only described the murderer, but was accurate about his tattoos and body piercings, which led the police to arrest and sentence him.
June was then successful in winning a competition, out of 70k other psychics, judged by Uri Geller, who was astounded by her psychic abilities, and proclaimed he had never seen such accuracy in any medium he had ever encountered.
June is alsothe GO TO psychic to the stars and here are just a few of the famous faces she had conducted personal readings for
Such praise indeed, but as I am ever the sceptic, decided to try to have a reading with June myself, and come to my own conclusion.
We met over zoom in the pandemic, and June conducted her reading without knowing anything about me at all. The first thing she described was a crisis I was going through with my family, and how it would be resolved, giving me remarkable insight into what was happening at the time. Many details that even my nearest and dearest were not party to, and it literally caught me off guard, and I was astounded by her spiritual intelligence.
I then dropped my armour and started listening. June spent time with me and didn’t seem to be anxious to leave after the time was up, unlike so many other psychics I had experienced. I felt listened to and supported by June, and knew I was in the presence of a rare soul who was there for the greater good.
I then attended a weekend course alongside other psychics who wanted to learn from June. It began with an evening of psychic mediumship where she connects and receives information from those who have passed over. I had never experienced one before and was literally blown away by her ability to pinpoint certain members of the audience and give them messages from relatives and friends who had passed both recently and a long time ago.
I questioned June as to why I was there as I had never wanted to develop my psychic abilities, but she said it would put me on my right path. By the end of the two days, I was seeing ‘orbs’ as June taught us to ‘tune in’ – a bit like a television was how she described it.
When I returned home I did indeed feel that something had fundamentally changed as June had predicted, and was a lot clearer about the direction I wanted to take, but that is another story for another time.

If you are thinking of buying a piece of memorable jewellery for your loved one or even yourself, I have to tell you about a recent discovery I made when attending the Children with Cancer Ball recently at the Grosvenor House in London’s West End. The purchase of an exclusive diamond caught my attention at the auction, as it had been donated by ComparetheDiamond.com to help raise funds for the Charity.
ComparetheDiamond.com is one of the leading diamond jewellery providers in the UK. A family run business, where owners Clive and his son Luke go the extra mile to provide an exclusive service to all of their customers, at whatever level of purchase.
Clive & Luke
In 2009 Clive turned down the highest-ever offer made on the BBC’s Dragons’ Den at the time. James Caan, Theo Paphitis and Peter Jones were keen to get involved, but Clive and Luke felt it was not a good enough offer and refused their proposal. After that there was no turning back for this outstanding Company, and with huge numbers of five star reviews and years of expertise under their belt, they really do offer a first stellar service to their customers.
I have already experienced their expertise first hand just by submitting a very rough sketch of what I wanted, and within 24 hours a prototype was presented to me on a video link in 3D.
The Sketch
The 3d Render
It was remarkable, and it is as if I had designed my own jewellery. All of the staff are so friendly, and nothing is too much trouble. It is quite an exceptional and unforgettable experience, and I really would love everyone to try it. The prices are reasonable too. I would highly recommend ComparetheDiamond.com.
Clive and Luke are in agreement – ‘We use our skill and contact and we promise you a unique shopping experience, unquestionable value, remarkable product quality and amazing choice. The average diamond passes through 11 pairs of hands from source to consumer, we have reduced that journey down to just 2 to 4 middle men. Masters of CAD and 3D print ComparetheDiamond.com is one of TrustPilot’s highest rated jewellers.’
You are most welcome to talk to father, Clive or son Luke at any time. Indeed, any of the specialist team who are on hand to provide all the help and guidance you need, without obligation.
