I've spent most of the week working on the Valley News website (please give us your feedback - still plenty of room for improvement!) The National Park with Susan Briggs of the Tourism Network recently ran marketing workshops for local businesses, which have proved very helpful. We've also been developing sample pages for a new comic book series about the Unexplained which Ken Webb of Worth Press took to the London book fair. We worked with Ken in the past and this would be a nice chance to get together again if we can find book partners to publish the series. Now he wants more material for the US fairs. Time to get busy. Planting in the garden will have to wait.
Well, still a few moments for music... The Crossing Club is a unique little cosy bar off the high street in Grosmont, which is where the steam engines have their loco sheds. You enter through double doors and up a couple of steps and then immediately into this great space that looks like a cross between the back room of a pub and someone's living room, but 10 times nicer than you ever expected, especially when teeming with musicians and interesting characters propping up the bar.
The Glaisdale poetry group is going strong. Strangely fascinating having your poem dissected in front of a group of people. We now have to read our poems at a wine and words evening on 17 May, Glaisdale. Emphasis on the wine...
