The world stage play premiere of The Silence of the Lambs will be coming to Milton Keynes Theatre from Monday 28 September - Saturday 3 October 2026.

We remember watching this at the cinema all the way back in 1991 and it still put us off having a glass of Chianti!

Nikolai Foster directs the world's first live staging of Thomas Harris' masterfully monstrous novel. Re-telling the thrilling tale of an FBI agent who enlists the help of an imprisoned serial killer to catch another monster, The Silence Of The Lambs is one of the most chilling detective stories of the 20th century.

Buckinghamshire Council celebrated National Tree Week by announcing plans to expand the scope of its Bucks Tree Mission project - which has planted over 216,000 trees on council-owned land during the past four years.

Last winter, five new woodlands were planted across the county, from Billet Field Wood, by Black Park in the south, to Roddimore Wood, near Winslow in the north. This took the total number of new woodlands established under the Bucks Tree Mission to nine.

The next phase of the Bucks Tree Mission will provide new opportunities outside of council-owned land to encourage individuals and organisations to get involved with tree planting and help to achieve the ambition of planting over half a million new trees by 2030.

Find out more about Bucks Tree Mission at Buckinghamshire Council

Friends the Musical is on at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre this week and it got us in the mood for watching the entire series again. Whilst the first half seemed a little crazy with the cast bursting into song at every opportunity, we got it. I mean, how can you fit 10 years of stories into a 2 hour show? But they did it and the second half whizzed past in what seemed like seconds.

It’s a parody performance with the cast freely taking the micky out of themselves, including plenty of references to lucrative advertising deals some of them picked up afterwards (Rachel, because she’s worth it, for example). It was all tongue in cheek and made the audience laugh out loud, especially the continuous name dropping with actors who made an appearance. How many can you name? We tried and failed to think of half of them. The Brad Pitt mention had us all chuckling, including the cast.

If you want a trip down memory lane, a good laugh and to hear that theme tune once again grab yourself some tickets, the show is currently running until May 2026 on a nationwide tour.

Does anyone else start their day with a kale smoothie? We love them! Thanks to for selling such amazing produce, grown by David Young in Fife, Scotland. It would be amazing if he got to hear how appreciated his kale is, what are the chances of this post reaching him?
