January is unnervingly warm and I like it. We're only a few weeks from spring. I’ll be up in the home of Ted Hughes  teaching for a week at Arvon. His wife Sylvia Plaith is buried only three hundred yards away. I’ll be teaching their with poet Luke Wright. Later on in the month I’ll be flying in the air with RAF Pilot David Slow for BBC Programme Inside Out, which should be fun. The Flying team are here click.  And then at the end of the month I’m on tour in India. Click here for details.

Hey thanks for dropping by. It’s a good year.  I went on a site tour of  The Royal Festival Hall the other day, with actor Carla Henry.  It’s incredible. Can’t wait for the re-opening. I also went around the Artsadmin offices in East London. Very Nice. And there’s a new theatre there too. Take a look around my virtual site and let me know if there is anything I could be doing better. I’ve put another blog on the fire  so it’s always warm and toasty.
