All done and dusted!

I've just returned from recording the TV interview at the 'Cup and Saucer' (Fort Grey) near the cottage where Rachel, Tom, David and Rebecca escaped early one morning in Flying Fish 2!

Included in the interview was a short reading which I took from the very beginning of Chapter One, not wishing to give too much away. Then I suspect I did just that in the interview!

I'm not sure when it will be broadcast, it could be tomorrow but also may be next week. Channel Television have said it's likely I will be able to add it to my site but I'm waiting for formal confirmation, if I can, I will try to add it this weekend or next.

Rain stopped play!

Well the rainy weather yesterday, and probably for the rest of this week, has meant a reschedule for the Channel Tele interview. We are currently hoping for next week if it fails to improve later this week.

I'll keep you posted!

Channel Television Interview

Tomorrow morning (12th May), Channel Television are filming both an interview and location shots from Rachel's Shoe. I will also be reading a passage from Rachel's Shoe, so deciding which one to read is a little tricky!

I don't know for sure what the edited version will contain or when it will go out, it might be tomorrow, it might be later but I believe I may be able to get a copy to post here. I'll certainly try!

This weekend we celebrated Liberation Day in Guernsey some 64 years after the Nazi's were finally evicted from our islands. It's a big deal here with flags and bunting everywhere and a carnival atmosphere on the piers in 'town'.

For me the most evocative experience of the day each year is the 9:00am air raid siren that can be heard across the island. The final 'all clear' never fails to bring a lump to my throat.
