The Medicine of Music

Posted on March 8, 2016July 18, 2016 by Debbie Young

In the Hawkesbury Parish News this month, I was looking on the bright side of hospital visits.

Although I was not keen on the closure of Frenchay Hospital, every time I go to the revamped Southmead site, I find more to love about it. Continue reading “The Medicine of Music” →

Supposing the piano-like Hughes Telegraph keyboard (c. 1920) - the earliest known transmitter of telegraphic messages to use letters rather than the dots and dashes of Morse code - had caught on instead of being replaced by the QWERTY keyboard? Three stages of planning for my new novel inspired by my stay a year ago in a beautiful holiday cottage called Gwella (which means "best" in Cornish) in Mousehole. Intriguing glimpses of Tretower Court and Castle on Saturday - through every door or window lay another enchanting view of this beautifully preserved medieval manor house with its csstle tower. The view from my table at the newly restored barn of the medieval Tretower Castle, where I'm breaking the journey on the way to collect my daughter from Aberystwyth. Plus beautifully presented lunch.  Beats a motorway services any day! Having fun in a local phone box library taking photos to promote the launch of the new charity anthology, "The Little Shop of Murders", which includes 15 short cosy mystery stories set in the high street. Huge thanks to the gang at Read for Good today for being such good sports when I visited to take publicity photos for the new charity anthology, "The Little Shop of Murders", featuring short stories by me and 14 other authors. The profits will go to three excellent children's charities, including Read for Good, The Children's Reading Foundation and Ronald McDonald House Ireland. Still drawing inspiration from my writers' retreat in Marazion, Cornwall last week. This was the view from our garden. Truly magical. As part of my research for a new book, I visited the inspiring PK  Porthcurno Telecommunications Museum, near Lands End, earlier this week. It feels almost at the back of beyond, but don't be fooled - it's a hugely important and historic hub of underwater telecommunications cables reaching all around the world. A fascinating day out even if you have no interest in the technology, because it provides an impressive example of man's ingenuity and determination, as well as an interesting slice of social history, just a stone's throw from a stunning, secluded beach and the Minack Theatre. Today's the day! Celebrating the launch of my all-new eighth Sophie Sayers novel, "Murder in the Highlands", on a Cornish writing retreat - and making notes for Sophie Sayers #9!
