Charles Causley Festival, Launceston, Cornwall. Following the workshop run by we three Moor Poets (Myself, Susan Taylor and Simon Williams) and the reading that we gave in St Mary Magdalene church, we came outside to try our luck at an age old tradition. With our backs to the prostrate figure of Mary Magdalene, we had to toss a small stone onto her back and with success expect a new suit of clothes before winter. What a terrific day it was, and we were so well looked after. June 5th
