Galleywood Historical Society are really impressing me!

Imagine my surprise when I was looking through the July/August edition of the Village Emporium and on page 8 I find Galleywood Historical Society's advert for my forthcoming talk about Basildon Through Time and Lost Basildon for Wednesday 13th September. The date had been fixed but I had no idea of the extent of their advertising. Then, yesterday, I was working at Chelmsford Library and in a quiet moment I decided to take a look at their community adverts and I see a poster by the historical society advertising my talk! Wow! How lovely! How industrious and hard-working!

I'm very impressed with the Galleywood Historical Society and will do my very best to put on a good show.

You might be thinking, where have I heard of Family Scribbles before? Mike was very kind to give an illustration of a very wonderful person who has become known as Colin the Clapper. He handed Colin the illustration as a thank you, Mike had been jogging past Colin most mornings as he stood on the roundabout near Basildon Hospital clapping all the NHS staff as they went to work. You can read a bit more about this here . Colin Wilkinson started paying tribute to the NHS staff on the 25th April 2020. When he had done it for forty days he made the national newspapers when he was ...

Metal Culture's Zoom Event - Quite a Few Faces from the Past!

I have known about Metal Culture, the one that is based in Southend, and their events for some time. I have often thought of joining one of their events but didn't get around to it. Last night I plucked up the courage to join their Zoom meeting called 'BASILDON, what next for the Creative Industries in South Essex?' It was really good actually, I imagined that I would sit observing, feeling too awkward to join in, but in fact I did get involved and added something to the various debates that were going on. To start with we watched six speakers; Aden Hynes from Sculpture Studios who showed a film. Moira Brock from La Danse Fantastique who showed a film. Joseph Brennan, an architect. Clare Mortimer from The Craft Shed. TIME - Therapy in Musical Expression, who showed a film and then Laura Mauro a writer. It was really interesting, although I already knew about Sculpture Studios and TIME. There were about forty participants and what struck...
