*Notes*
"There are a few moments during the poetry readings that are so quiet...you can hear the minidisc saving to disc. ...At the beginning of the show you'll hear her say "excuse me", that's where she noticed her zipper was undone and turns around to fix things up! A few comments about the lake district--well it rains a lot up here, hence the lakes, which she points out in her improvisation, and a few years back we had the foot and mouth disease which meant that thousands of farm animals had to be destroyed as well as most of the footpaths being prohibited to walk on. 'Doodleshire' is a bit of a current joke around here at the moment kind of a light-hearted attempt to set up a separatist state within the town! in honour of Dickie Doodle who, legend has it, in the 12th century was sent to Kendal by King Richard I with a Royal Charter to set up a mayoralty in the town. However, on arrival in the town, he became drunk in Kirkland and was chased across the River Kent where he established the county of Doodleshire with himself as mayor."
