8 Keeling brothers

How to see the calendar

Granny asked how to see the calendar which Rob was so nice about. You get to see it by clicking on Jacobs Calendar at the top right under the picture of Jim and Paul. But David says that it does not always work. I don't know why - yet.

And by the way I'm in Gran Canaria with Ruth and my friends Alex and Gavin. I really should be on a lounger by the pool soaking up the rays. Or should I have a second breakfast? Decisions decisions. x George

George is a genius

George has put up a calender on 8brothers so we can all see when it is good to go down and look after Granny and Grampa!!
Well done George!!!

Imo the Winner

On Saturday Imo ran in the South West Schools cross country Championships at Exeter, in a 3 km race. She was in the U15 girls race (she is still twelve, for four more days). There were 70 runners and she finished 19th. She was the second fastest in the Somerset team. Next month she will run in the national competition.

A week ago she had another great race and made history at her school. In the Kings Hall cross country she finished first, beating all the boys and finishing one minute ahead of everyone else. Cool!

The Master and Margarita

Also - now I've embraced my inner blogger -

I've been working on a new stage adaptation of The Master and Margarita, which will be on at the Barbican in March. It's going to be brilliant and tickets are very nearly sold out.

Come and see it!

Letters home 1914-1918

Paul and George got a bit excited over a year ago and decided to get a beautiful leather bound edition of Captain Arthur Gibbs' letters home. We have given a few copies to Granny / Mum and kept one each for ourselves. Another six are lying in some warehouse printed but unbound. It took us over a year to get the first six copies and we believe it would be up to three months to get more with that lovely leather binding. (We're not Amazon).

Sadly it's not cheap and we would have to ask £250 + postage for each extra copy. (Even if we shift all six we will still be out of pocket). So if you would like one of these very rare editions, e-mail me quickly before they all go! george.keeling@gmail.com.

Stop press: Sold out!

 

Last night Frewin Rd almost burnt down! Emma was woken by our smoke alarms (I’ve always cursed them, but no more) and we found smoke pouring from our downstairs loo with flames licking up the wall to the right of the sink. A candle we had by mistake left alight had caught onto its very stupid base (a coconut shell) and thence the wall-paper and wooden picture frame above it, both of which were completely burnt out – another few minutes and it would have required the fire-brigade I’m sure, but as it was we were able to put it all out with a towel and bucket of water! Thank God! It brought back memories of the “Fire in case of Fire in case of Fire in case of Fire in case of Fire” notice that used to be stuck to the wall in Albert Place – and I was glad of the training that had given me. Fire drill in our house will be happening as soon as we are all six back together again in Frewin Rd. With lots of love, Jim xox
