As autumn
approaches I find myself reflecting on a busy and creative few months which
have resulted in a range of articles. Firstly, my Lady Margaret Gosworthy-Pringle
persona continues to pontificate on matters as far reaching as gloves, pearls
and seasonal celebrations via Hampshire Life’s website. How opinionated she is and
how mindboggling that I should find her so accessible!
Perhaps we
should move on . . . for Buckinghamshire Life I talked to the amazingly
creative Linda Newham whose floristry designs are amongst some of the most
beautiful I have ever witnessed. And for the same publication, I spent a most stimulating
day at Queens Park Centre as well as producing 25 Autumn Treats and 10 Good Reasons to
Love Bucks features.
Meanwhile my
insatiable appetite for artists continues. Hampshire Life readers have learnt
about Hampshire Open Studios exhibitors plus Stephen Lees and Sheila Hope
via my interviews. Articles covering Baldock’s Fireside Festival, Hertfordshire
Ghosts and Hitchin History Walks have been featured in Hertfordshire Life.
I was
delighted to run yet another workshop at this year’s Thame Arts and Literature
Festival and, in anticipation of the pantomime season, I recently had the
pleasure of journeying to Milton Keynes Theatre to interview Bradley Walsh and
the ultra talented dance group, Flawless. Read all about them in the December edition of
Buckinghamshire Life.
It’s always a
pleasure when invitations come my way and I was especially thrilled when
Charlie Barton, whom I interviewed last year, invited me to The Ivy for a
private preview of her latest work. Far from me to name drop, but it was an
evening of mixing with royalty and some of the most seasoned writers and
actors.
Not that I neglect more local callings. I have attended the opening of Fabric HQ plus a private preview of a photography
exhibition at Obsidian Art. Such talent! No wonder I am spoiled for interview
choices.
