Fine-tuning: composer reinvents the piano

'Fluid' instrument allows pianists to alter sound before or while they play For a non-pianist, the idea of a microtonally fluid piano might seem either no big deal or baffling. But this weekend a composer will reveal the result of a 10-year mission – nothing less than the reinvention of one of the most important instruments in western music. Geoff Smith believes he has come up with the first...

Another year older and deeper in debt...

Another year older and deeper in debt In spite of a 24 hr tummy bug I think MTL enjoyed the birthday week, made special by the arrival of our Australian son or A S who quickly threw off jet lag and was changing light bulbs, sorting technical problems, shopping and being the perfect Jeeves before you could say ‘G’day!’ We went to our favourite Italian for the birthday dinner and took...

Don't let the pigeon lose the race

So, I'm noodling around with an idea for my next book. While I have absolutely no story (heh), I know it revolves around pigeon racing. Here's what I know about pigeon racing: ZIPPO So when I learned that the national convention of the American Pigeon Racing Union was being held nearby, well, dang, how could I NOT go, right? AND - there was going to be a Junior race (for kids who race pigeons). Oh,...

A Walk In The Mendips.

It was a beautiful day as we set off for an hour and a half's drive to meet up with our friends at Priddy , near the Cheddar Gorge. It's a kind of half way point where we meet up for a walk in the spectacular limestone landscape around the gorge. As you approach Cheddar the spine of the Mendip hills breaks out from the flat rather nondescript Somerset landscape. The underlying limestone has created...

Crafty Class - 'Ohh Liittle Bird ! '

My friend and great source of inspiration Gail Milburn ( Gails Blog ) has, out of the goodness of her heart been very kind to me ! I was taken by a fabric bird that she did in the style of Jenni Horne in an article in the Summer 2009 edition of Sew Somerset inspired by an original by Betz White . It's a long time since I did any hand sewing even though I only used blanket stitch on this one, but Gail...

The Bakelite Museum

I didn't plan a visit here, but the sign to the Bakelite Museum in Williton, Somerset was irresistible. This private collection is housed in (indeed, crammed into) an old mill, and many of the displays are on open shelves. Some, like a tie press, even encourage you to touch. If a bakelite collection conjures up images of endless brown plastic, think again: bakelite essentially has two meanings. First,...

The Dusk Bar, Somerset House Terrace

Last week, along with 4 other London bloggers, I was invited to Gintelligensia at Dusk, the pop-up bar on the terrace facing the river at Somerset House; a promotional eve of gin mixology. I had ideas of being a gin-soaked DJ for the evening but it turns out we were there to learn about Bombay Sapphire gin; how it's made etc. As we sat bouncy on Tom Dixon chairs, Sam Carter, Bombay Sapphire Brand Ambassador,...

It's a beautifully presented little book - well-illustrated with small exquisite pictures and this makes it very attractive to read. Starting with...

When the Last Tree Falls

C.S. Lewis, The Future of Forestry : How will the legend of the age of trees Feel, when the last tree falls in England? When the concrete spreads and the town conquers The country's heart; when contraceptive Tarmac's laid where farm has faded, Tramline flows where slept a hamlet, And shop-fronts, blazing without a stop from Dover to Wrath, have glazed us over? Simplest tales will then bewilder The...

Hampshire stop & some thrifting

Last Saturday, Alan and I had to go to Hampshire. On our way back, we stopped in a village called Odiham which is within a mile of Fleet. We were recommended a pub which would be a nicer alternative to the Fleet services (M3 Motorway) The Waterwitch Pub - Odiham Inside the pub The pub backs on to a canal After a lovely lunch, we decided to have a walk around Odiham before heading back to Somerset....
