My poem ‘Chocolate’ has been published in this week’s Reading.Today & Wokingham.Today
The inspiration came from reading posts about concerns re the diet eaten by their LOs as they reach the end of their #dementia journey My own Mum only ate chocolate

It's the Bohemian Open Mic tonight at Fishermans Cottage

You can do your own stuff, someone else’s stuff, music, poetry, comedy. Anything you like as long as it’s not getting naked, or anything to do with fire. And certainly not both at the same time.
