Copernicus

The new harp, Copernicus, is very nearly ready. I painted the back today with blackboard paint and the metal strips are ready to be fastened on the sides tomorrow. We are a little bit more organised since the last post - we are warm again! The boiler was actually condemned because the original installers had messed up 2 years ago. I am disgusted but there is nothing we can do as they are no longer in trading. Roll on Spring - I saw some crocus's today - we are so high up here the snowdrops are just appearing! I am giving two lectures this week, Ripon on Friday and Harrogate on Monday - both on The Book of Caris. We are giving a full performance on Friday 22nd March at The Rainhall Centre in Barnoldswick. I shall leave you with a quote: "Caris told Jaques many things and told Jaques of the spririt of the wind who played music through the trees and the spririt of the earth and how the earth could feel pain when man cut into it for his greed and how it would shake like a dog shifting to get comfortable again and that mankind would know of this shifting."
