ShantyFreak from the UK (Jim Saville) has been a long-time Mudcat member, was active with the Shellback Chorus, and is an excellent poet as well. Through our joint interest in the poems of C. Fox Smith he recruited me to the Oldpoetry (now Allpoetry) website where we began posting her poems so they would be more publicly available. Then we collaborated on The Complete Poetry of Cicely Fox Smith. Jim is certainly looking forward to Mystic.

This will be great fun!

The weather for next weekend is looking more promising now.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
