Last week brought a hint of spring here followed by a blast of winter. On Monday I was delighted to find some early primroses flowering in a sheltered corner of the garden - only to find them the following morning covered with snow! And the temperature had plummeted. But a walk that afternoon in the Cotswold Water Park provided one of my favourite experiences - the opportunity to watch the incredible beauty of a winter's sunset. So much inspiration in the natural world just now.
And so much activity to be planning and preparing for. Firstly an evening at Writers in the Brewery at the New Brewery Arts Centre in Cirencester at the end of the month. If you're free on Thursday February 26th, do join us at 7.30pm for Catchword's presentation of prose and poetry on the theme of "Conflict" - tea and coffee provided (and cake - to celebrate Rona Laycock's birthday!) with the bar open for stronger refreshment. Tickets £4 on the door.
The beginning of March sees the Preview Weekend for the Cheltenham Poetry Festival. Our Picaresque troupe will be performing at the Wilson Art Gallery and Museum here in Cheltenham. "Poetry Among The Paintings", on Saturday March 7th from 11.00 - 12.00, will be a programme of highly imaginative poetry inspired by the Museum's art and sculpture exhibitions. Last year Picaresque's festival slot was sold out and highly acclaimed; you can get tickets for this year's from the Tourist Information office (01242 237431), £6/£5 concessions. Do hope to see you there.
