Coming up on the show this week 17th August is Phil Ewing. Phil has been on the show many times reading other peoples work but she is on the show in her own right this week with her poetry.
Beautiful weather again today as I write this and unfortunately we will be back to the rain tomorrow.
I hope soon to be posting photos. Having not had a computer to use for so long, I have got out of practice . I have some great pictures to share. Unfortunately I am not on Facebook anymore so feel free to comment or contact via this blog.

Today, 10.8.2012, Bill Mycock is on the show. He has been recommended by Miss Foxglove and writes about his growing up on a farm in rural Staffordshire.
I have been out locally to the beautiful Fal river and her creeks. Reminds me of a lovely show we did some years ago at Trelissick with songs I'd written about the Fal. Penpol regatta on saturday was a real treat for those of you who have never been. The boats sail past right up to the quay and are so beautiful to watch. No St Mawes one designs this year but the sunbeams were there and so were the working boats and a lugger. I lived on boats for many years and it stays with you all the sense of the sea.The WI make the BEST cakes in the world and at only 50p a slice they are a real bargain. This week it is the start of the Falmouth regatta which lasts a long time and is pretty spectacular.
The Emantees are hoping to sing at Redruth pasty festival on 22nd september.with a special pasty song written for the occasion.We are all VERY excited about it.
Busy with rehearsals for forthcoming productions in St Ives and Liskeard.
Summer is here, if only briefly. It's now getting dark at 9pm so the days are drawing in. Enjoy it while you can mateys.

Hello me hearties, welcome back to my blog. Trials and tribulations which I will not bore you with but I have had no computer for months and having to use my dear husbands when he is not using it. However, I have decided to update the blog instead of Facebook so will direct you all here for what is happening.
Do the write thing is one year old and I have managed to have almost someone or something different every week. This week was young poet Craig Taylor Broad who as well as being a poet makes little videos which he uploads to Youtube. Have a look at his work as it is different and as he says offers a different view of cornwall.
Did you catch the peace camp at Godrevy? I didn't but everyone said it was spectacular.
Redruth is having a pasty festival and the Emantees singers are hoping to make an appearance.
News also for Blantyre theatre group they are putting on their next production of the mermaid of Zennor at the Keay theatre for christmas. next year they hope to be working with Doubletrees school.
Speaking of which, Doubletrees performance of the Bolshy ballets Swan lake and Nutcracker was a grand success. Phil did the stage and lighting set and it was truly fantastic, views of St Petersburg and the St Basils cathedral filled the stage. Thanks to all that took part and came to see it.
Morley Tamblyn lodge are working on their next production at the Keay, their Pantomime Charlie and the Chocolate factory.
Me and Ann Foxglove and Lizzie Stevens along with Miss Eliza Freespirit are going to be doing some singing so watch this space for further developments. And Ann and I will be performing at St Ives festival in september. Whhooo!!
October 14th sees another outing for my opera about John Harris at the Liskeard festival.
It's a busy time ahead for us me dears so Oll an gwella and see you soon.
Pauline Sheppard next week so do listen.
