Sally Kindberg and the Triola
A few weeks ago while looking for something else entirely I discovered my daughter’s old Triola, a musical instrument made by C.A.Seydel Sohne, a kind of melodica made for children. What a delight! To avoid annoying my upstairs neighbours, I … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg at St Paul’s Covent Garden May Fair 2023
On May 14th St Paul’s (aka the Actors’ Church) Covent Garden teemed with colourful policemen, Punch and Judy performers, clowns, puppets, Pearly Queens and other assorted characters. Years ago I met Professor Leslie Press, son of another Punch and Judy … Continue reading

With a fresh notebook, a pen or two and my walking boots I set out for Penzance, feeling my usual excitement as the train crossed over the Tamar from Devon via the Brunel Bridge. Operational since 1859, it enabled an … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg’s walk through frosty parklands to Marylebone.
One very frosty morning a couple of weeks ago I walked to Marylebone through Regents Park, remains of the woodland where Henry VIII and Elizabeth I once hunted deer. The river Tyburn used to flow through Marylebone, so the land … Continue reading
Sally Kindberg meets Robin Hood again
Last weekend on my visit to Nottingham I noticed Robin Hood’s arrow had been replaced. It was often stolen. Robin features briefly in my work in progress (see notebook above). Interesting to note he now has a second job, like … Continue reading
Sally Kindberg in Nottingham Castle tunnels
Last weekend I revisited Nottingham, where I grew up after we moved there from Devon, where I was born. Nottingham Castle is built on the top of a steep sandstone rock honeycombed with ancient tunnels and caves. I’d always wanted … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg in Cornwall again
A couple of weeks ago I returned to Falmouth, to walk (it’s a kind of meditation process for me), and to collect my Museum of Dust which has been on display and part of the Cabinet of Folklore and Magic … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg’s Museum of Dust – dust from the Great Wall of China
In the early spring of 2012 I was in Beijing, taking part in children’s book festivals and running workshops. One freezing morning I visited the Great Wall at Mutianyu, 70km or so north east of the city. This section … Continue reading
