Healing and Rehearsals

NOTES TO ME !

1) SOUND OF MUSIC.....Must remember when I go through a door in the bedroom scene, to come out of it as well, and not just exit through the wings, like I did at the dress rehearsal !
2) HEALING  .....Believe that God can heal a physical ailment with just a short prayer, like He did in the green room in the bustle of the tech rehearsal in the Arena.
3) ENJOYING LATER LIFE. Take a copy of your new book everywhere you go. Most people are curious.
4) GARDEN  Now we have a brief respite from the rain, must cut the grass .

Quizzed on radio

Hi there,
On Sunday's '~Faith Alive', that's the Radio Verulam programme between 2 and 4 in the afternoon on Sunday 29th April,, I am put in the firing line for a change.  Instead of interviewing others, I submit to the interrogation of someone else ! No, I exaggerate, it's not the Star Chamber. Guy Marshall, manager of the Christian bookshop in St.Albans for over 30 years and now just retired, asks all the questions you would like to ask about

ENJOYING LATER LIFE.
There has been a minor hiccup on the delivery of the books, but do order yours now, either at www.onwardsandupwards.org or on Amazon. You can ask the St.Albans Cathedral bookshop and Waterstones in St.Albans when they will stock it.  If you are local, you can email me at emjackman@talktalk.net and arrange to collect one from my home, and I'll sign it for you. At the moment, the ones I have are going like the proverbial hot cakes !

Whew ! And next week I'm on stage  every night at the Arena in the Sound of Music. Who said that later life is a bit boring !

West Herts Drivetime with Danny Smith: Elspeth Jackman Promotes New Book

West Herts Drivetime with Danny Smith: Elspeth Jackman Promotes New Book: Broadcaster and writer, Elspeth Jackman came on the show today to talk about the launch of her new book 'Enjoying Later Life' which is set ...

You can buy my book NOW !

The van pulled into my drive. A box appeared in my porch. Then another, and another. As you see above, my book ENJOYING LATER LIFE has arrived and is now in paperback for real !
As Pam Rhodes says, "it's a beguiling mixture of practical advice and spiritual celebration."

If you read it, you'll find you know a lot about me, and you'll laugh at my mistakes. You'll also gather my strong belief that we who may have just passed middle age are "in our prime" to (mis) quote Miss Jean Brodie, and have a valuable perspective on life and an immense contribution to give society.

If you are local, why not email me at emjackman@talktalk.net to arrange to come and get a copy from me personally.(signed of course) Or ask at Waterstones Bookshop, St.Albans, or at St.Albans Cathedral bookshop. It's priced at £7.99 You can order it on line at www.onwardsandupwards.org, or get it on kindle at Amazon.

It's an easy read. Treat yourself !

The Sound of Music

Its an eventful time for me.
1) THE SOUND OF MUSIC There's only two more weeks of rehearsal, then from Monday April 30th the show is at the St.Albans Arena for the week presented by the St.Albans Operatic Society. Do come ! The children are delightful, the principals have great voices, and you might like to smile at my performace of the crusty old housekeeper Frau Schmitt !

2) With the publication date for my book ENJOYING LATER LIFE on the 19th, I'm expecting boxes of books to be delivered to my door any day now ! Then if you're in orbit of me, look out, I have a very persuasive manner.

3) With the Easter Holidays over, my piano pupils will be back again, with twelve of them getting their exam results and they will all be thrilled.

Busy ? Happily so. As I say in my book, I enjoy life and intend to live it to the full
