Time has flown again. I saw a big black snake on the dirt track yesterday which means it’s nearly spring.

I’ve been composing lots of short cello pieces which I absolutely love doing. I’ve also finished a new poetry project called ‘Words With Wings’ which I’ll tell you all about next time, once the books arrive from the printer.

Life on the farm is quiet. The veggie garden is still derelict but I’m hoping to get some seedlings at the market tomorrow and plant a few of the beds before it gets too hot. The dogs are having a lovely time stalking the chickens in the orchard but the chooks don’t seem to have too much trouble in getting away. The goats enjoy the occasional fight but spend most of their days lying in the dairy waiting for their next meal.

I’m looking forward very much to my Hinterland tour next month, while hoping and praying we don’t get locked down again. If we do, we’ll refund all the tickets and make another date.

You can watch the sneak preview of the show and book tickets here.  If you can come, it would be lovely to see you there.
