West Buckland Festival Update

Have A Nice Day / Love Songs & Fairytales / The Girl Is Back

Dana will be appearing in St Peter’s Church on Sunday 11th September 2011. A number of her songs will be performed with a choir of local schoolchildren. There are only a limited number of tickets available so please visit our ‘Box Office‘.

 

Dana won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1970, beating such well known, international singing stars as Julio Inglesias. Her song ‘All Kinds of Everything’ went to number one in the UK charts and became a worldwide million-seller, establishing her overnight as a popular performer  and television personality.

Simply known as Dana, Dana Rosemary Scallonan is an Irish singer and former politician, running in the 1997 Irish presidential election and subsequently being elected as the MEP for Connacht–Ulster.  Over thirty singles and thirty albums later, Dana’s career continues, now also as a leading songwriter and performer of Catholic music.

Gauguin – The Hermitage, St. Petersburg: The coarseness of the painted surface and the open weaved cloth it was painted on shocked me – I always imagined his paintings on fine flawless canvas. The rustic finish was reassuring – I’m glad I am not the only one who has had to compromise on materials due to the lack of funds.http://bit.ly/faRYXj

Food Baby

Eden Project

Spent the weekend in Cornwall (Fowey) had a splendid time at The Eden Project – The rain forest (the humidity) cleared my sinuses. Unfortunately I ate toooo much and have a huge food baby.

The search for new content is a crucial day to day exercise to show your returning visitors that pages are being updated. This task becomes almost impossible when you have nearly said everything there is to say. Try to re-package your blogs content or your websites information and widen your audience – not everyone reacts to the same information in the same way, some people like to read blogs and some like to read more structured information and content.

You can spend hours and hours staring at a blank screen, surfing the web fooling yourself you are working. If you actually analyze the amount of time you spend doing nothing – recycle your ideas to rejuvenate your website, blog or product description.
