I like change, I do. But I don't like random programme changes to software on my laptop that, as far as I'm aware, is working perfectly well. So since I last posted, Blogger has stopped working with my browser, and I should 'expect errors.' So any typos are down to Google from now on.
An eventful few weeks. Birthday, Christmas, New Year. Many café experiences in London, Stroud and Cornwall. One of my recent discoveries is Black Book in Stroud. They too love coffee, writing and books, so there's a natural synergy. And fabulous coffee. In London, I was sad to learn that Ozer, my favourite Turkish restaurant, was due to close on the Friday before Christmas. Such a shame - all down to high rents apparently - I'm sure it will be greatly missed. It was part of the Sofra Chain, and there are others, but Ozer was the best.
So back to work with a vengeance today. Penzance Litfest 2014 is taking shape. We'll be putting the first items into the programme this afternoon, and will soon be releasing details about the early bird speakers and guests to be signed up. We'll have talks from authors, workshops, some brilliant panel discussions, a big Literary Quiz. It's going to be a rich mix of Crime fiction; historical fact and fiction; some fabulous performances from musicians, poets and story-tellers; and some discussion events hosted by readers talking about their own favourite books. For me its Poldark - and I look forward to sharing my love with other Poldark fans- and having an excuse to re-read them all between now and July.
The Litfest takes place around Chapel St in Penzance where we are spoilt for choice on the Café front - Mr Billys, the Honeypot, and the lovely Lost & Found to mention just three. Mr Billy's does the best chips EVER. Fact.
