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.
