The Ppod - 21st May 2024 - Queen Elizabeth Country Park

With another orbit of the Sun nearly complete, we reach the Winter Solstice on the 21st of the month.

The shortest day, the longest night, yet with the promise that Spring and Summer are on their way.

Meanwhile, when we get some high pressure at this time of year, the skies can be crystal clear if a little chilly.

So, keep a weather eye out and, whenever we get one of those glorious transparent Winter nights, wrap up warm, have a hot drink handy and head outside!

Written by Petersphere resident, astronomical expert and amateur astronomer Geoff Burt, and voiced by Claire Vennis, every month Shine Radio presents a Sky Watch of our unique dark skies.

Local news for Friday 29th November

Shine Radio's Laura Sheppard directed this production of the Titfield Thunderbolt, a play about rescuing a discontinued train line against fierce and nefarious opposition - actually quite topical.

It's at the Half Moon's performance space so the set is sparse and relies on costume and make up, people acting as scenery and sound effects! and it works really well!

Mike Waddington spoke to Robert Sheppard who ran the sound effects desk, and he demonstrates some of the hand held devices like the 'cabasa' and the 'acquaphone'; Faye Thompson, the Town Crier, who assists, plays her favourites.

Mike also spoke to Kate Gardner, who played Mr Ruddock, the Minister of Transport.

The Titfield Thunderbolt runs at the Half Moon in Sheet till Saturday 30 November.
