just received this from melanie wrigley of w.c.c.p, sounds like a great way to enjoy a sunday sfternoon.
Could you please advertise this theatrical guided walk I'm leading this coming Sunday 22nd April to celebrate Shakespeare's birth (and death) date on 23rd April. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us! We'll be walking from the western heights behind Aycliffe over the A20 bridge onto Shakespeare Cliff (Heritage Coast) and back to the car park.
The acting will be done by volunteer actors ( experienced actors who are also volunteers!).
Donations appreciated.
meet at st martins battery car park at 2.00 p.m.

Good luck to them, hope it is a success, as it's another worthy cause.

37 people turned up for the walk which had the added bonus of seeing an adder in action over at aycliffe.

He wasn't much of an adder himself...

DANG!!
I missed a trick...
Sonnet #18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And Summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

"The Two Gentlemen Of We-own-ya."?
"Much Ado About Nothing Left."?
"Alls Well that Ends, Well..."?
After...
"Love, Labour's Lost!" and "Comedy Of Errors." I give up. He seems to have got there before me.
