February has been a month of moves and moving – oh, not The Composer or Mrs C – we are here still here to welcome guests, but moving has been the theme of the month.  If it stood still we painted it otherwise we moved it! Our staff have completed all the deep cleaning, moving,…

Is it possible to be ‘ahead of the end’?  That phrase joins others like being ‘150% sure’ or ‘arriving before you set off’ or saying ‘I’m 100% convinced, I think’! They are all impossible statements. So, how to be ahead of the end, is that impossible to? The Composer often has to visualise the end…

Technically the blog is written at the end of the month – but this blog is penned in the first days of a New Year and with good reason! We want to wish all our guests, past, present & future a wonderful new year and hope you will spend some of it at ‘Composers’. The…

This month, The Composer combines his monthly blog in a ‘2 month’ special, combining all the elements of November and December along with news about our Composer activities, past and future. (Read to the end for the April Celebration details!) Skating out of October we headed down the ‘nursery slope’ of our run, with a…

The Composer is a bit of a rebel. Not as much as he used to be (oh, the days of a mis-spent youth!) but he is still up for being a ‘bit’ rebellious when the need arises. Mrs C is a very calming influence but doesn’t dampen The Composer’s rebellious nature. Of course it depends…

A background in music, broadcasting, theatre and stage has equipped him well for the rehearsed (or spontaneous) ability to speak!  But the last 4 weeks have seen The Composer silenced……..stumped for words. So, before the mini-rant (last paragraph) let’s look at the positive reasons for being…

The Composer is, obviously, fond of his music and this month’s heading gives away a love of musicals, too! However any comparison between Oklahoma and Northumberland is that, apart from a rogue ‘K’, you can find all the other letters in both names – that’s it!! Bustin’ out has been the mantra for us in…

Our title is well known to those who enjoy a certain Saturday eve quiz programme and, yes, we have a list at ‘Composers’! In the next weeks it is devoid of all matters political!!  This Blog gives a list of reasons for taking a holiday in Northumberland…..especially as guests (in the first week particularly) will find ‘Composers’…

Its going to be a fun month – with 2 Bank holidays, the start of the end of the football season, the serious start to grass cutting and ………for The Composer and Mrs C, a moment of sheer madness…….a HOLIDAY! So this is a brief post – time being of the essence. Given that May…
