Just listened to your x2 Portmeirion/Robin episodes yesterday (on train back from the Coward archive in Brum) - loved the Vapes tangent. Totally visiting Paysanne on next trip to Snowdoinia to hopefully chat with you guys. (Clough made an error in one of his books re Coward and it might've spread)

As far as I can tell, Noel Coward only visited once (1941, Blithe Spirit)?

I'm writing a Comedy Musical set in 1959 about a fictional re-visit to celebrate his 60th Birthday, with the likes of Ian Fleming & Roald Dahl as guests, and McGoohan filming Danger Man. Reckon it'd be right up your street!

You'll hopefully appreciate my forthcoming project even more then! Top a secret, but it's got Ian Fleming in Portmeirion in 1959. Would like to enlist your expertise...

It's amazing! Which train/route(s) did you sample? And did you visit Portmeirion when you were there? Asking for a train-geek friend...

3/If things continue as they are, if, for example, the most important land connection between #Russia & Crimea is destroyed, or if something happens on #Crimea itself, where most of the 🇷🇺 military logistics are located, then that would be an opportunity to bring this country strategically back...

Perhaps worth chat to @heartofthearts.bsky.social for your next @thestage.co.uk article on Covid? Like Government trying to tackle benefits and sickness without mentioning the illness itself (and only focusing on the lockdown) it makes little sense and won't work. Thanks 😷🎭

All good stuff, but only mention of Covid-safety in relation to Disabled shielding? No effort to make Artists & Back Stage & Theatres safer - Air Filters, High-UV, FFP3 masks for up-close WHAM Dept. Theatres must do more to protect & reduce illness/absence/burnout (Actors need their voices!) 😷🎭
