‘An Evening with…. Arrow FM’ – Weds 6th March, 7.30pm, Featherston Community Centre

March 4, 2013

So, the title of my little ‘event’ could do with an overhaul! But, don’t let that put you off! Instead, put yourself in the driving seat of cultural innovation and change, and come along on Wednesday 6th March from 7.30pm to the Community Centre in Featherston (14 Wakefield Street – we have a little yellow … More ‘An Evening with….

Coming up on February’s show!

February 21, 2013

I’ll be the first to admit I have been very slack on the blog front. But, blog slackness (or BS as I like to call it!) has corresponded with a period of intense activity out there in the real world (and, indeed, the reel world, more of which later). I’ve hit my stride with my … More Coming up on February’s show!

January’s show: Poetry in Motion

January 16, 2013

On this month’s show, I am joined by a very special guest: Madeleine M Slavick, a poet, author, photographer, editor and social activist, who has recently settled in the Wairarapa after living and working in Hong Kong for several years. I first met Madeleine at last year’s Greytown Arts Festival. I’d just finished recording an … More January’s show: Poetry in Motion

Throwing another #smallstone into the River

January 14, 2013

How are your small stones going? Remember these? Short pieces of ‘writing that precisely capture a fully-engaged moment’, inspired by Fiona and Kaspa of the Writing Our Way Home blog? I confess, I’ve not managed one a day, but I did come up with one to-day! Here she goes… I’m reading my book in the square. When I … More Throwing another #smallstone into the River

Something that has caught my eye this morning – the Mindful Writing Challenge

January 4, 2013

A rare thing is happening this morning in my house. I am up, and nobody else is! The baby has gone back to bed… the bigger one is still snoozing. Husband is catching up on some zzzz’s having been up a lot of the night with the baby (I didn’t hear a thing! Promise!). And … More Something that has caught my eye this morning – the Mindful Writing Challenge

Interview with Featherston artist, Tania Williams

December 30, 2012

Back in October, I interviewed local artist and film maker, Tania Williams, at the opening of her exhibition at the Colours for Art Gallery in Kuripuni, Masterton. There was a fantastic atmosphere at the gallery, and I was lucky enough not only to talk to Tania about her work, her inspiration and her future projects, … More Interview with Featherston artist, Tania Williams

Here’s what I’m doing today…. being frugal!

December 29, 2012

I’ve decided… 2013 is going to be the year of doing it ourselves, starting with making our own spray cleaner! Well, that’s how I feel this morning! And blog sites like this one help! Thank you, Hazeltree Farm, I’ll let you know how we get on!

December’s Interviews

December 28, 2012

Hello there, I hope you had a great Christmas! I am feeling considerably more round and calculate that my personal chocolate:mince pie:turkey ratio is currently standing at roughly 80:10:10. Yes, being a Brit by birth, my family went the Turkey With All the Trimmings route, with left overs consumed on Boxing Day with a lot … More December’s Interviews

The Merry Christmas Show!

December 20, 2012

I’m feeling very Christmassy – the ReCooper8 Christmas show is in the bag, and this month in the broadcasting ‘suite’ at the Featherston Community Centre I was accompanied by my mum, Avie, and my eldest daughter, Isla, who gave our ragged proceedings a learned flavour by doing maths on air! She’s only three and a … More The Merry Christmas Show!
