Enjoying listening back to fantastic interviews with Rob Crawford Peter Richardson Tom Heilbron - Link Kennels & (geordie) john, among others, for the Arts Council England funded DOGPEOPLE podcast. I'm also excited to plan more interviews & chat to anyone else who'd like to share stories...

Lovely session working with New Writing North The Writing Space group tonight on their writing wants and needs. Not goals but deeper motivations that enable us to write. We also had a conversation between our dreamer and doubter! Putting those worries to rest.

Went doon the toon with Citizen Songwriters to make a train meditation soundscape music mashup. Amazing!!! Trains are always amazing places to meditate. To surrender to the engine growl and clack and the chatter. Can’t wait for the final piece. Thanks Blank Studios

Double boost!!!

.Carol Vorderman YOU ARE BLOODY MAGNIFICENT. EVERY SINGLE WORD OF THIS 🔥🔥🔥
