The above is a copy of BBC Radio Leicester's advert from Facebook. They're asking people to 'be part of it' and that's exactly what I will be doing. Radio Leicester will be interviewing me about my book, The Children's Book of Richard III, at Leicester Market at 11 am on Monday morning. I'm not sure if it will be broadcast live or recorded but I dare say I'll blog a link to the recording... unless I mess up!
You can also find me today on Carol Hedge's blog. I'm lounging on her luscious pink sofa and I'm talking about... guess what? Yes, you guessed correctly, but there's a slight difference. I have found five fascinating facts about Richard III to ring the changes. You'll find my fascinating facts at The Pink Sofa meets Rosalind Adam.
There will be plenty of things happening in the City tomorrow. Apart from the cortege, which will be televised if you can't be here in person, I've heard that the Morris Men will be dancing at the Jewry Wall. There may be photos of them here tomorrow evening. There are sure to be photos of the cortege. Things are hotting up nicely!
Brilliant..sounds a lot of fun..and who knows what spinoffs will ensue!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I have the energy for spinoffs, Carol. May feel different in a few weeks' time.
DeleteJust read your blog of the 20 th and 21 st.. On Friday I went to visit my friend who lives near to the route of the procession of the cortege. First of all we watched the eclipse(through special glasses that we shared).Then she took me for a walk along the route. She showed me all the preparations and particularly Bow Bridge, where the cortege will stop to be filmed. She pointed out the coat of arms of Richard 111 with the white boar on-just like on the illustration in your book- Rosalind. We will go on Sunday together to watch the cortege pass.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it. I drove past there myself today and was a little amused to see two road cleaners driving in unison.
DeleteHi Ros .. sounds like it is hotting up nicely .. - I am looking forward to seeing some of the programmes on the tv ... wish I was somewhat nearer ... still - looks like an amazing event ... enjoy and looking forward to that interview .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame you live so far away, Hilary. Remember if you're ever in the area we must meet up.
DeleteHi Ros .. I don't forget!!! And one day I will get up with time on my hands etc ... enjoy today and your interview .. cheers H
Deletethis just gets better and better. I'm enjoying the hotting up from across the pond.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasure to share it with you, Joanne.
DeleteWhat fun! And fantastic that you are being interviewed too. I wish I could hear it! I think Richard will be smiling at all this ceremony wherever he is. Finally the recognition he deserves!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Val, but I think he would be totally bemused at all the attention!
DeleteWhen will you have time to eat and sleep in the middle of all this excitement??
ReplyDeleteThere's a lovely cafe at the Cathedral, assuming it's not packed out with tourists of course!
DeleteExciting to be part of history in the making.
