Sketching the Summer
Saturday 1 August 10am - 4pm
A day in the fresh air and some of the loveliest scenery in the area! And you’re invited along with your family and friends – all skill-levels, (including none!), all ages.
Bring your own stuff. An easel and watercolours are great, of course, but this is planned as a serene, relaxing and fun day for everybody to enjoy. So no need to find expensive kit – dig out your old paints, borrow the kids’, find a pencil . . .
Doll gets a smile, bear gets a nose
I'm Elouisea Stone, and I live in Cloake Place, Cargreen, where I've been nestled for nearly 4 years. My journey with doll repair began at the end of 2021, when I lived across the road in Hatt. I spotted a doll at a car boot sale, lying face up in a box, her eyes closed and limbs loose. Three weeks later, I finally brought her home. She was a 1940s composition doll, needing restringing and some TLC. I was shaking as I worked on her, but she turned out beautifully, and I was hooked.
I’m a great believer in the power of Panto
Having directed various School Drama productions during my teaching career, I somewhat tentatively suggested producing a parish pantomime during a Landulph Festival committee meeting in 2015. With the enthusiastic support of the committee, I then began researching how this idea might work out in practice. Being a rural parish, I thought Jack & The Beanstalk might be a good choice of production with a wide-ranging cast of characters.
