Have you booked for the Riding Lights Summer Theatre School yet?
a) Why not?
b) It's not too late to apply
I've been planning, with Bridgett Forman, for the workshops that we'll be running through the week of the summer school, which this year is at Queen Margaret's School in Escrick near York.
Tall Stories is brand new this year. It will combine digital storytelling with stage production to put on a show that combines multimedia production and performance. It looking very exciting and innovative.
So don't miss out - book it in your diary for July 23rd - 30th, book, pay up and travel to York to join in. See you there.
The dining car standing at platform 3 is the last to depart from York - forever
These gently swaying restaurants have always been a classy public place where even grubby standard class passengers could taste first-class treatment. As a waiter on the East Coast service recalls, lone diners would complain about being seated together, but once the wine started flowing they would all be chatting and swapping business cards. "The deals that got done in this car," he sighs.
Patrick Barkham sums up the experience of travelling in style on the East Coast Main Line. Sad that the dining cars are being shunted off the tracks in the new timetable.

Perhaps resolve would have been better
This prayer has been written for Kate and Wills for their marriage and can be used by anyone getting married.
But when I read it out loud to Joan we both laughed at the phrase 'strengthen their wills'. Wouldn't resolve have been a better word'
From the article:-
It asks God to “look in favour on William and Catherine and all who are made one in marriage”.
The full text of the prayer reads: “God of all grace, friend and companion, look in favour on William and Catherine and all who are made one in marriage.
“In your love deepen their love and strengthen their wills to keep the promises they will make, that they may continue in life-long faithfulness to each other; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
This prayer comes at the end of an article about Kate Middleton being confirmed in the CofE.
