Blackwell-on-Sea, 1984 Forced to seek a new life, seamstress Katherine Loch arrives in the medieval English village where tourists are drawn to the imposing castle but linger to peruse the artisan shops, with a ratty acoustic guitar, risky business idea, and a bleeding heart. Since the untimely death of her musician husband, the Blues claims Katherine's soul, but her shop brings purpose and budding friendships with a quirky cast of Blackwell characters balance the good days with the bad. Until fate-postmarked beyond the grave-arrives on her doorstep, this time in the form of a shiny red Fender Stratocaster and a mysterious box. Katherine is a journeywoman at the crossroads. Can the Strat tempt her into playing the Blues again? Will the box lead her to solve the mystery surrounding her birth? Will she find the strength to allow love and music back into her heart, and to, once again, fearlessly embrace life's rhythms and blues?

Rhythms & Blues, Vol. 2

By: Brenda Faucon

1985 Hardworking seamstress and Blues woman, Katherine Loch is emerging from the tentacles of grief and bracing herself to explore the mysterious Box she believes may contain clues to the identity of her father. Former schoolteacher Steve, who has fallen for Katherine like a ton of bricks, helps her to pursue the quest even as the ups and downs of his own life threaten their budding love. Fate is asserting itself in more than one Blackwell-on-Sea household and Katherine, knowingly or not, is caught in the fire of many hearts. Meanwhile, everybody's favorite publican, Paul, quietly fosters the balance of it all from behind the bar at The Wicked Mule. In the second volume of the captivating Rhythms and Blues trilogy, love, friendship and laughter are strung like beacons of light between the secrets of the past, and an unpredictable future.

Cultural and Creative Perspectives

By: Margaret Carr,Brenda Soutar,Leanne Clayton,Bronwen Cowie,Jeanette Clarkin-Phillips,Shelley Butler

Bringing different cultural perspectives on creativity with them, teachers and children in two early childhood education sites in Aotearoa New Zealand were using museum visits as jumping off places to hone their creative capacity building. As a contribution to Tim Ingold’s discussion of anthropology and/as education, and also finding John Dewey’s writing valuable (specifically his framing of ‘enduring attitudes’), the authors employ a navigation metaphor throughout the discussion. They describe a coming together of four Cultural Anchors (thinking from materials) with four Coordinates (creative capacity builders) to describe ways in which the children were making creative sense of the museum exhibits, while at the same time gathering information about them. They take these travel metaphors from a star cluster in the southern hemisphere night sky, Matariki, which provided early sea-going Māori with guidance as they navigated wide stretches of ocean in their sea-going canoes to reach Aotearoa New Zealand. A Māori immersion early childhood centre and school, and a New Zealand kindergarten provided lively examples of children’s and teachers’ responses to the treasured artefacts (taonga) in their local museums. The book describes an ecosocial framing, from ‘little to big’, and illustrates the different cultural perspectives on creativity. The Mana Tamariki kaiako (teachers) gifted us a title—He taonga, he rerenga arorangi (Where there are treasured objects, the spirit is nurtured and creativity will be inspired).
