Poldark begins!

This picture has nothing to do with this post, but was taken last Friday when I went walking with Heather, on the most glorious afternoon.

As most people probably know, unless they've been living under a stone, the new series of Poldark starts on TV on Sunday evening. I will be glued, along with countless others, to see what happens - or rather, how it happens. And also the much debated rape scene that isn't, and how the ramifications of that will be dealt with in the plot.

In the meantime I am also doing some talks and readings of my Poldark book to coincide with the new TV series. A reading in Chintz bar in Falmouth on 19th September, at talk at the library on 22nd and then a talk at the Poly on 26th. Better try and rest up before all that!

I also did my first walk for the new book last weekend and was going to do another today on Bodmin Moor. But it's raining. So I'm looking out of the window at the grey murk, and thinking of the fantastic day we had on Sunday, a picnic at sea and a fabulous sail. And trying to focus on work, as you do...

I'll be watching for sure, though I have read there are no scything scenes. I am sure the beautiful Cornish landscape will make up for that!

Addy - I'm sure it will, though given the adverse weather it will be interesting to see what shots they are showing!

What a gorgeous photo at the top of your blog showing the Cornish colours - and Moll - at their best. I'll be watching Poldark too! Work seems to be coming in for you, which is brilliant, and hopefully some income too (always a worry for writers!). Good luck with the promo! Cxx
