Welcome Aiyana :-)
Meanwhile, I'm in some luscious surroundings deep in the Lake District, working on a re-draft of 'The Idiot at the Wall', talking to venues, and writing some new stuff too :-) Oh, and roaming around the hills singing etc. You know how it goes...Thank you to the very obliging landlady (my sister, Ruth)...she's ace :-)
Love and Light!
Elspeth xo
