Love is in the air!
04/10/2008 by admin.
Barbara Maggs and James McLoud, a couple of toastmasters who have helped 500 weddings to run smoothly, have married each other. The couple met four years ago and chose to tie the knot today in Thornbury. Barbara is one of only 12 professionally-trained women toastmasters in the whole of the country. Her role includes announcing the cutting of the cake and the after-dinner speeches. They are understood to be the only married toastmasters in the UK. All very interesting given the importance of love in our story and how much toast figured as Ben, Julia and Sarah first tried to make sense of the 12 ’sacred’ stones used by Sarah in an innocent game of marbles!
Meanwhile, a Torquay couple, have become the first to marry in what’s believed to be Britain’s oldest human-inhabited prehistoric cave system - Kent’s Cavern in Devon. Axes found in the cave have been dated at 450,000 years ago. The temperature inside the cave is a constant 14c. Ms Woodland and Mr Duckworth offered the guests a cake with figurines of a cave man and cave woman on top! Most curious given the talk in our tale of ‘not going back to living in a cave!’ and the role of the Royston Cave.
Time to celebrate love in nature …

The Magical Mystery Tour!
25/06/2008 by admin.
Ben’s delighted that previously unseen film of The Beatles’ visit to Plymouth Hoe in 1967 has been discovered. Here’s the incredibly rare footage of the band’s Magical Mystery Tour! Bring back the Summer of Love!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornwall/7474139.stm
A timely celebration - as it’s 41 years to the day since the Beatles became the first band globally transmitted on television to 400 million viewers world-wide. The song, ‘All You Need is Love!’
Plymouth Hoe is most famous for the story that the controversial Sir Francis Drake played out his famous game of bowls at the Hoe before sailing in his fleet to face the Spanish Armada. Sarah’s view is that bowls represents a larger version of marbles - a game which she holds with all fondness.

I’ve lost my marbles!
21/03/2008 by admin.
Sarah’s detective work has revealed that the world marbles championships are taking place on Tinsley Green in West Sussex. Records show the game has been played there every year for some 200 years. Well Caleb Hitch say that us British have to live up to our eccentricity.
