In my very small and very sleepy little bit of Yorkshire, nothing much happens really. Night inevitably follows day, sometimes leaving me with a fabulous sunset to admire, like the one from last week pictured to the right.
The year's lambs arrive in spring and take up temporary residence in one of the fields surrounding the village. The four seasons pass as always, bringing the best and the worst of the weather as dictated by the winds and the ocean currents. The cherry tree in my garden blossoms, the flowers and the lawns grow, all of which is followed by the wind-down of each year as we move steadily through the calendar to the year-end and the cold and stasis of winter.
But this year, there's a big event happening for film enthusiasts and writers. Okay, it's not happening in my tiny little village, but it is definitely happening not that far away. Indeed, if my village had a regular bus service, I would be able to say that the event was just a bus ride away!
And how do I know all of this? Purely by accident. The weekend of April 11th saw the Crime Writers' Association Northern Symposium take place in Buxton. Over dinner, I had the great fortune to be seated opposite two people who were involved in putting together the particular event that is happening right on my doorstep! Well, perhaps not literally on my doorstep, but certainly near enough for me and some of my fellow writers in Doncaster Writers Group to attend.
What, where, and when is this big thing? The 'What' is the Sykehouse Film and Writers' Festival 2026. The 'Where' is in Doncaster and the 'When' is May. I'll leave you to investigate further because there is so much to find out. So, just click on the link for more information and tickets from the official website/blog which is Here
In the meantime, I will relax in the sunshine in my sleepy little bit of Yorkshire. It'll be good to see you at the big event ...
