I'm late, I'm late .....

In haste! I'm just packing to leave for the Swanwick Writer's Summer School later this morning and really looking forward to it - watch this space for updates on the week. But I had to write a quick post about yesterday evening's New Bohemians get-together - a really super event.

Tim Burroughs

We were only a stone's throw from where Lewis Carroll weaved magical stories for Alice a hundred and fifty years ago and we celebrated his most famous text in great style. The tables were beautifully laid for a Mad Hatter's tea party; we dined on jam tarts and cucumber sandwiches (the crusts cut off, of course) and were entertained with poems and games, stories and music. Deepspace in Charlton Kings certainly lends itself to this type of event - many thanks to Su for hosting it. And to Jennie (the Queen of Hearts), Eley (the Mad Hatter), Kim (Alice) and the wonderful musicians - Keith on guitar, Geoff March (now there's an appropriate name!) on cello, Tim Burroughs on sitar (really haunting) and Chris and Mandy, The Acoustics.                         

The next New Bohemians evening will be on Friday October 16th and will feature a fun workshop with Eley Furrell on presentation skills. Do join us if if you're in the area - 7.30pm at Deepspace in Hamiliton Street, Charlton Kings - the workshop, "bring and share readings", wine and nibbles in the interval with interesting people to chat with - what better way to spend an autumn evening?!
