Sheer Delight: Cape Grapes and Chocolate …
Blog 12 – Sheer Delight – Cape Grapes and Chocolate …
The intentional fib in the last blog (11) was that I had posted that the tenth blog was credited as the ninth whereas I had actually credited as the eighth. Too complicated. I did have Louis di Bianco’s TV erroneously carted away in Montreal and I did leave him a pair of bathroom scales in exchange as I couldn’t get them in my suitcase.
Talking of suitcases – no-one mentioned that I had been in Cape Town for all of March. I was there (amongst other things) covering Pimple Popping Plots with the Fish Hoek Scribblers and in Milnerton with the West Coast Writers. Pure delight. The latter asked me if I would like my notorious flip chart to face the clock or the window. I said it would be rather novel to teach facing Table Mountain. They said – “It’s Devil’s Peak, actually.” But who’s quibbling about mountains? There are so many in Cape Town where I received my first bee sting in March and can now join the grown up race.
I met Viv from www.scenicsouth.co.za Please visit – a shame you can’t be in the scenic south in person but more of my words are on Viv’s website – this month: ‘Cape Grapes’ and ‘Sheer Delight – Chocolate.’
That’s enough for now as I’m still in holiday humour and can’t wait to receive all these Dear John missives – see www.janmoranneil.co.uk for all the details. Proof reading for Patricia Sentinella’s collection by the same name was going on whilst I was out in Cape Town getting bee stings and popping plots and I can’t wait for Creative Ink Publishing’s launch in a few weeks. That’s when Creative Ink classes start for the summer. A few places left but all courses are running.
I’m still trying to give away six handout sheets for the intentional fib. And I was in Cape Town.
