Jacey Bedford's Journal

maeve_the_red and D are visiting this weekend, so not much time for posting. We're having a lovely time talking writing... well, talking anything actually... and eating and drinking.

 We went for a walk down into the the bluebell wood this morning (the longest walk I've been on in years) and though my feet are protesting, we had a lovely time and I managed to get a few snaps (nothing fancy). My little camera is an old Fuji Finepix 50i if anyone is counting. Very low tech and portable. It's been way superseded by better cameras for a quarter of the price but I'm still very fond of it.

The wood just below Birdsedge is deeply bisected by the embryonic River Dearne before it gets to South Yorkshire and becomes all industrial.


Here's maeve_the_red and Best Beloved hanging about waiting for D and I who were dawdling behind.


The bluebells are gorgeous at this time of year


Though the wood is pretty damn fine splendid at any time of year.


Tomorrow we are heading north, possibly to see Fountains Abbey, but our ultimate destination is the Georgian Theatre Royal in Richmond to see Tanglefoot in concert. Whoo-hoo. We got the last tickets in the place. That's the advantage of being Tanglefoot's UK management. We've got the two company seats in the pit  which maeve_the_red and D can have and I'll be up in the gods, almost clinging to the outside of the lighting box.
