Chelt Lit Fest

Just completed the Cheltenham Lit Festival and used the opportunity to surreptitiously promote Marions book - loadsa fly posting. Coupla more coming out in late autumn and she just won $100 in an American short story comp :)

Our old favourite Roger McGough was there, 




together with Victoria Hislop (n hubby). Watch out for the Greek adaptation of 'The Island' and guess who plays the 'english gent'?











and lotsa authors, journalists n assorted entertainers:

Illuminating Blackpool

T'was the 'annual'trip with Sis to Blackpool. Despite pre weather forecasts of hell n high water the weather was fine all week. The new illuminations were fairly spectacular, including some music driven street lighting and illuminated trams.

 

 

BUT ... The town was heaving as it was half term which must be why most of the big shows closed the week before?? Foodie pubs had no food! and half the trams had been laid off !*! Still the digs were good as was the local pub. Finally found a last show by 'Dancing Queen' and it was a stormer. Started a bit light but then they rocked the roof outa Grease and had dancin in the aisle to Abba.
