Hello,


So this isn't based in ED, but we are!

Foyles bookshop have asked us (WordPlay) http://www.wordplayeducation.co.uk/ to create a podcast series based on this year's summer Lit festival for children & young adults - The Story Box Festival.


We are looking for children aged 8-16 to help us out to host the podcast - there will be several fantastic events throughout the summer reading festival and we would like our young hosts, presenters and reporters to interview authors, have discussions based on the events, help write the script for the podcast and present the festival news!


http://www.foyles.co.uk/Public/Events/Detail.aspx?eventId=2927


If you would like your child to take part, please do email us on [email protected] or send me a PM on here.


We're really excited about this project.


For more info on all activities, here is also a link to other events / workshops etc happening this summer at Foyles Bookshop! http://www.foyles.co.uk/events


Finally, we are also running two radio drama workshops at Foyles in case you have budding radio star kids:

We're looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks to everyone who contacted us - we can't wait to work with your kids on this fabulous audio project!


We have just one slot left to fill (for two children), if anyone else would like their children to co-host the Story Box Podcast-Kids Takeover, do just let us know!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
