LIVELY EVENING

Hi all! We had a great spoken word evening yesterday at the Mortal Man hotel, Troutbeck near Windermere. Two of us took turns to entertain hotel guests with poems and stories. The audience was most appreciative which is always very encouraging. If you are in the Lake District, The Mortal Man on a Thursday evening is the place to be.

My favourite poem to start an evening is OH FOR SKINNY JEANS as this usually brings a smile to faces. I have a small collection of humerous verses which are great for breaking the ice before I change to short stories with a twist in the tail. I'm afraid a number of my short stories have a gruesome edge, too, so these have to be quickly followed up by something lighter

.

I have so much material, I could entertain for a whole evening. An overview of my work was featured in Writing Magazine (above) in May. Now, I'm planning to visit A Cheshire Home to read some poems and stories to residents who are receiving care. My poems are very accessible so I am hoping there will be something in my repetoire to please. Enjoy the Spring weather everyone, til next time. Juie
