The sun shone on National Poetry Day, and I was lured to the seaside to add a contribution to a Poetathon held at Kollectiv Arts Centre in Folkestone. En route to the coast via High Speed train, I wrote a … Continue reading
Sally Kindberg and St Ia
A while ago my interest in early Celtic saints resulted in a series of drawings. Walking in Cornwall has always been one of my joys, and the story and image of St Ia, patron saint of St Ives, gripped my … Continue reading

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 in Cornwall again
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
