we review it and maybe endorse it
Embracing some culture in 2017, Elldrew scored tickets to watch the latest adaptation of Tennessee Williams 1955 play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, at the Apollo Theatre starring Sienna Miller and Jack O’Connell.
Another Christmas, another series of festive meals, another January starts with a diet. 2016 mainly saw Elldrew revisiting some old favourites – to see if they’re just as good and festive as previous years – and in case you need any reminders you can read our 2014/15 or 2015/16 festive feasting reviews before taking a …
For a long time Elldrew were opposed to the Kindle. That smell of old books, the sound of a cracking spine, the rustle as a page is turned or the ever-expanding bookshelf seemed compelling reasons NOT to move to modern technology. But after some consecutive travel, carting 8 heavy books around between us, we borrowed a …
Take psychotic and dysfunctional team members of a hard hitting and physical (make-believe) sport called “Exy”, mix in drugs, alcohol, physical abuse, hitmen, maffia bosses, kidnapping and not forgetting lots of cuts and bruises, torture, sexual tension…actually loads of tension in general, sprinkle with a whole dose of trust issues and more secrets than you …

Coming back from a holiday is always a bit depressing, but here on Planet Elldrew we’re no Party Poopers so we have decided to embrace the rest of the summer full of the “joie de vivre”! To do this we are voluntarily signing ourselves up to the 100 Happy Days Foundation movement, to make the …
So we can’t quite work out what the cover image has to do with this book by Hakan Lindquist (it’s bordering on homoerotic) but it may have something to do with the plot, which looks at the life of Paul, a 16 year old boy killed in a train accident, narrated through the eyes of …
Here at Planet Elldrew we never need much of an excuse to throw a party, so Mama Elldrew’s spring High Tea birthday was in fact the perfect excuse. With a rather cold and grey winter behind us and spring having sprung in a typically English “sprung a leak” rainy kind of a way, we wanted …
