Yesterday was wall-to-wall poetry, starting with Poetry in the Park in Worcester and finishing with our Picaresque performance at Writers in the Brewery in Cirencester. The morning session was part of the fourth Worcestershire LitFest, under the direction of Polly Robinson; the creative writing tutor Sue Johnson has run several workshops based in local parks over the last twelve months and participants brought along and read the poems and short prose inspired by their history or layouts. An enjoyable morning - especially as I discovered that I was sitting next to someone who had lived five doors down the road from me fifty years ago! A fair bit of catching up to do there ......

Writers in the Brewery, run by Rona Lacock once a month at the New Brewery Arts Centre, is always an interesting evening with an open mic alongside a presentation from an invited guest or guests. It was a great pleasure for all of us in Picaresque to be invited last night - we had a lovely appreciative audience and thoroughly enjoyed reading for them. Between us we also managed to win three out of the four raffle prizes!
