Ann's now been 'Reformed'

A few kind words from Ann:
"...I also wanted to say how much I like the beautiful painting, which was presented to me by the Association.  Grenville you have a wonderful talent and the picture will take pride of place once the renovations to my house on Dartmoor are complete."
The Rt. Hon. Ann Widdecombe MP, The House of Commons, London

Life at the RSC




Thar's my Richard III performance in a nutshell. 'Course I played William Page in Merry Wives, another part in Twelth Night and a girl in long velvet dress in Duchess of Malfi. Understudied for Mamillius in Winter's Tale. And enjoyed the perks of playing tennis and swimming at The Hill.🥰
All during my three years at the RSC. They wanted me back at sixteen which would have given me an Equity card and changed the course of my whole life. 😮

Sue's super Cygnet window displays


Sue's window displays have just received a  from Caroline Smith who with her friend have run the Silver Sheep shop in T wells for years. A real compliment as years ago I asked Caroline for some tips when Diana and Gingergirlmakes were doing the Cygnet window displays. 

And btw Sue's displays were featured in the recent Autumn In Shaftesbury post on This Is Alfred.
