A happy cheese-free Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching (eek) and it always conjures up a certain dread. Part of me doesn’t want to be told that Mr Muddy and I should be gazing into each others eyes on demand, the other part longs for him to want to lavish me with gifts and whisk me off my feet […]

The Muddy Guide: What’s On Thurs 17 – Weds 23 March

High-Rise, in cinemas Fri 18 March *Sigh* He even looks gorgeous with paint splattered all over his beautiful cheekbone-chiselled, twinkly-eyed face. If like the Muddy team and half the population you’re languishing in a little Tom Hiddleston-love-you-long-time on Sunday nights with The Night Manager on BBC1 (only two episodes left *sob*) you’ll be thrilled to hear his new film, High-Rise, […]
