The Kman and I along with a couple of friends went to see Within Temptation at the Carling Academy in Birmingham. We had a bit of a horrendous drive down even though we left Northampton at 2.00, rush hour in Birmingham seems to start at 3.30!! We queued fpr about 40 minutes but were quickly in the venue and after casing the joint we found our spot for the night and waiting with anticipation for the support act to appear.

The support act were called the “69 eyes” and were from Finland. There were good and the drummer was completely mad. The group were well received and seem to enjoy the attention from the crowd. As soon as the group left the stage there seem to be a surge of people waiting for Within Temptation to come on stage, unfortunately some really tall (selfish) people stood in front of us, so we ended up seeing the back of someones head for most of the concert with the occasional glimpse of Sharon (the vocalist).

Within Tempataion were fantastic and sounded brilliant live, they sang my favourite song - “Angels”, I knew quite a lot of the songs and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I think that this band are just going to get bigger and more popular and hopefully when they do their next UK tour it will be in a venue like the NEC.

Score 10/10

The Kman and I have just returned from a holiday in Cornwall. Whilst we were there we visited the Eden Project, we had previously visited 5 years ago when it was in it’s infancy. We were not to be disappointed, there was still lots to see and plenty of photo opportunities. Since our last visit they had built new exhibit called “The Core”, this was an excellent exhibition which also housed a marble sculpture called “The Seed”.

After visiting the Eden Project I am determined to do more for the environment and recycle where possible. The shop at the Eden Project was inspirational too as it had a wide range of items that had been recycled and made into other products for example; bags and pencil cases that had been made out of drinks cartons and glass products that had been made from recycled glass.

If you ever go to Cornwall on holiday I would highly recommend a visit to the Eden Project, the cost was £14 per adult but is well worth it. You can find out more information at www.edenproject.com
