Snow cancels workshops

A bitter disappointment for all concerned (no pun intended). Camborne School has no option but to cancel tomorrow's workshop because of today's heavy snowfall, which continued until midday. Culdrose (Naval Station) is predicting more.
A real shame as we had spent a lot of time preparing for this. A date to be rescheduled for the New Year.

A blizzard and plans for tomorrow

In Cornwall having set aside a day to prepare for tomorrow's workshop at Camborne School. But woke up to thunder and lightning and a blizzard. At this rate it looks as if today's meetings (in Helston and elsewhere) will be cancelled. Unless there is a sudden thaw, not sure how I will be able to get to Camborne. Let alone all the people who are coming to work with me.
Have an email from Judith Cook, who is up county (Liskeard) i.e. about 45 miles away. No snow in sight there.

Preparations for the next round of workshops

In Cornwall, making preparations for the next round of workshops. Starting in Camborne on 30 November. Interviewing potential people for the team. At long last have the chance to go to one of the Media Sub  Group meetings with Judith Cook in Truro (Judith is over-seeing the Migration Impact Fund work by various groups.)
A sunny day with a frosty start.
Making notes en route in Truro.
