Dear Chick and everyone


our guest author Lorrie Moore has a double booking now on 27 May and I need to

start the recording earlier. Are you and your friends able to arrive at

Broadcasting House at 5pm ?


Sorry for any inconvenience but this is out of my hands.


Can you let me know as soon as you can?


Many thanks

Hi there,


I've also just moved to the area and really keen to join a Book Club. Unfortunately I'm away on holiday until 3rd July, so will miss the next session in July.


Is there a date and book planned for August - assuming that i'm permitted to join of course!


Thanks,

JB

send an email address and I will put you on the list. You are more than welcome.

Dear Book clubbers,


I invited Michel Faber to our meeting but sadly he cant come. He did send this though:


Dear Chick,


I don't mind you asking at all, and please send my best wishes to everyone at the book club and tell them that I would have loved to be there. On Wednesday I am actually booked to attend a Canongate event in Ladbroke Grove but I think it's highly likely I will have to cancel this at the last minute.


So maybe I should have asked before.


Look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday.


Chick

Greetings and thanks to everyone who came to the last meeting, I hope you all enjoyed the evening.


The next meeting is Wednesday 6th August and the next book is Woman on the edge of time by Marge Piercy.

See you all then.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
