In The Village, Astcote, Northamptonshire: Looking for the Moon
http://astcote.blogspot.com/2014/09/looking-for-moon.html
In The Village, Astcote, Northamptonshire. Astcote's in Northamptonshire, England. It's where I wake up most mornings, again. Tuesday, September 9. Looking for the Moon. I thought I would try and get some nice photos of the 'super moon' this evening. It was just around for a couple of nights and the sky looked nice and clear. I started by heading off to a nice place a mile or so away from where I had a good panoramic view. A nice old barn or sheep shed. I love those places. Posted by Andrew Hill. Corgi T...

In The Village, Astcote, Northamptonshire. Astcote's in Northamptonshire, England. It's where I wake up most mornings, again. Friday, May 9. Birds large and small from my window. A goldfinch in the garden on Saturday. A heron wandering around the paddock - this was taken from my window a good 100yds away. I dashed downstairs and did my best to sneak up quietly but he flew off before I could focus. Posted by Andrew Hill. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Where in the Village? Birds large and small from my window.

In The Village, Astcote, Northamptonshire: November 2013
http://astcote.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
In The Village, Astcote, Northamptonshire. Astcote's in Northamptonshire, England. It's where I wake up most mornings, again. Wednesday, November 6. A tripod, marmalade and good lunch. I always enjoy trips to St Albans and today's was no exception. AT took me to The Wicked Lady, one of the best restaurants I've frequented for simple fare, where we managed to make three courses last over three hours! That didn't explain the strange start in the morning but it did explain the home run directions. Where in ...

American Idol: Top 9 Perform
http://ai2014.blogspot.com/2015/03/top-9-perform.html
Independent but informed news and reviews of the show and performers from Andrew Hill across The Pond. Season XV Top 24. Monday, 30 March 2015. Daniel's track is really not good. His singing is cracking up. He does look good on camera, as Keith points out and he gets on well with the audience. Clearly he is getting plenty of votes but he has to do better or we'll have a dud winning this thing. Is OK but a bit light and lacking in the passion the song usually has. Disappointing again. Rayvon isn't making ...

American Idol: April 2015
http://ai2014.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Independent but informed news and reviews of the show and performers from Andrew Hill across The Pond. Season XV Top 24. Saturday, 25 April 2015. American Idol: Season XIV - The Top 6 Perform, and we now have the Top 5. So Jax makes the Top 5 and, from this performance, deservedly so. If she decides to do a Wendy James number then I may even buy it myself! She is looking so much sexier than the others and, for that matter, more than most entrants I can recall in this show. Good choice, Rayvon! Sam smith ...

X Factor UK: The Not Yet Famous Five
http://xf12.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-not-yet-famous-five.html
Updates and reviews for X Factor UK. The X Factor Top 12. Saturday, 29 November 2014. The Not Yet Famous Five. With two songs each tonight each of the remaining five contestants has a chance really to show what they can do. The public, in the shape of visitors to the X Factor web site that is, have chosen one and a current recording artist has chosen the other. Having said that, I should imagine that the production team and judges will have a bit to say too. Andrea gets Alexandra Burke's vote. That w...

X Factor UK: I so hope Andrea does just the song, not the video...
http://xf12.blogspot.com/2014/12/i-so-hope-andrea-does-just-song-not.html
Updates and reviews for X Factor UK. The X Factor Top 12. Saturday, 6 December 2014. I so hope Andrea does just the song, not the video. O Holy Night by Mariah Carey. Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus. Or I should say Oh Girl. Whilst the Christmas Song could go down well, I can already see the enormous gnashers biting the other side of the telly screen for the Miley Cyrus hit. Please, please, don't put him nude on some big ball, though, guys. Stay Another Day by East 17/Girls Aloud. Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.

Jack Walton – Bleeding Love (Leona Lewis). Happy to see...

X Factor UK: November 2013
http://xf12.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Updates and reviews for X Factor UK. The X Factor Top 12. Saturday, 30 November 2013. It ought to be getting tough now but we're still waiting for someone to do something that says 'Yup, that's a future British star we can also see on the American stage and even breaking into Europe'. If Sam wins as expected then she wins and there'll be an album out but I don't think we'll be that bothered. Our only real hopes are that either Rough Copy. Get some street cred back, that Tamera. Judges talk of cruise ship...
