October 1st   Catch train to Oxford to perform with Signdance Collective.

Crash bang wallop: in the process of moving pictures from studio to gallery there was a slight mishap.  We shifted the pictures using a taxi, the taxi guy helped to unload the pictures at the entrance to the art centre, […]

I’ve just eaten the allotment. It is inside me. For supper I had mash made from the last of the potatoes, greens: spinach, curly jack, sorrel and oriental greens, and a yellow courgette. As well as providing food for the […]
