Run for it Reynard
In the office at Battle, it’s well warm enough to have the windows open. The air that flows past me is scented with flowers and cut grass and the faintest trace of cows and sheep (mmm-mm!). The birds are singing fit to bust in every shaded nook (poetry hem-hem) and you have to wonder – work! What’s it all about? All I really want is a tiny house (with broadband) in a remote spot with my girly by my side, cats in the garden and wildlife within easy viewing range, along with occasional visits from Hannah to show me her new tattoo and discuss Japanese cinema … it’s not much to ask is it? Oh and some beer in the fridge (not too much) and a tot of single malt for the colder evenings. Heyho.

The Japanese version of Dark Water – way more spooky, even tho’ I’d go a long way for Jennifer Connolly

‘So run, Reynard, run … from the fools dressed in red’

Coming soon – a free MP3 download of ‘Run for it, Reynard’, an anti-foxhunting song what I wrote. I got lucky with the recording and it came together really well (to my mind) so keep yer eyes peeled and get it for free real soon
Unbelievable - a scorching weekend, viewed thro’ the curtains of my sick room as I wonder about the future and all the things I want to do. Still, it’s only manflu – so without further ado, some happy-making images …
Images I don’t got - the lovely Sybilla, the cheeky but lovable Hannah



Just tattoo the words ‘Loony Magnet’ on my forehead and have done with it … OK?
Sun = shining
Summer = coming
House = selling
Drink = more, please …

In the field on the way to work (again) -
four magpies. Two boys and two girls, the boys dancing and displaying and the two girls largely oblivious (women, eh?) but both pairs with nests already built in the trees on the left. More magpies to follow? Watch this space …
