		<title>JAG comes alive with an impressive exhibition of prints: &#8216;Coming of Age 21 Years of Artist Proof Studio&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been to an exhibition at the Joburg Art Gallery for ages -  somehow JAG&#8217;s PR doesn&#8217;t market its events succesfully (suffering from the City Council&#8217;s budgetary woes?).  So to go to the opening event on Sunday 6th May and see the Gallery literally bursting at the seams with both people and images, was a complete joy!  Oh that [...]]]></description>

		<title>A contemporary take on Coriolanus &#8211; also showing at Cinema Nouveau, Rosebank</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With 3 or 4 screenings a  day there is still time to see Coriolanus before it goes of circuit. Ralph Fiennes contemporary production has been called &#8216;the thinking person&#8217;s action movie&#8217;. Peter Bradshaw of  The Guardian writes:  &#8217;Ralph Fiennes&#8217;s intelligent take on an unloved Shakespeare links it not only to the 1990s Balkans, [much of it was filmed in the Belgrade] [...]]]></description>

		<title>Phantom is a tour de force &#8211; on until 3rd June</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
 
A few weeks ago a guest staying at Liz at Lancaster &#38; who is a musical-aholic, told me he had seen &#8216;Phantom of the Opera&#8217; SEVENTEEN times &#8211; in NY, London and now the night before at Monte Casino, his 2nd time in SA. And he thought it was the best performance he had ever [...]]]></description>

		<title>Like Pooh Bear, I have searched for the perfect honey pot &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pooh Bear had his honey pot,  but Liz’s search for the perfect honey has been far more complicated.  Several years ago at a farm stall whose location, let alone its name, I have long since forgotten, I found some special honey. What really caught my eye – apart from the fact that it was Blue-gum [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Hundredth Birthday to Craighall Park!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Feels like spring not autumn here in Jozi with temperatures of  27°  over the week-end.  And what better way to enjoy the unseasonally warm weather on Saturday than at the Craighall Park Centenary Open Day.  I have had the privilege of living in Craighall Park for nearly 40 years (terrifying thought!) and daily I am reminded [...]]]></description>

		<title>Great new addition to the Maboneng Precinct</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday evening, I went to 10 years On Air &#8211; the collaborative Review exhibition of the On Air partnership: Marcus Neustatter and Stephen Hobbs. Unexpectedly, Marcus was there to give a walkabout which made viewing particularly enjoyable and accessible .

		<title>Now this is a win: a cheese &#8216;factory&#8217; in the same street as Liz at Lancaster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A cheese maker on Liz at Lancaster&#8217;s doorstep &#8230; literally in the same street , one block away, and I never knew about it. Am off there this week.
