I'm sure we all have times when life "bites us in the bum" as a friend so elegantly puts it, and that certainly describes things here over the last couple of weeks! But today has been a good day with the style proofs arriving for "Digging Up The Family" (I'm delighted with them) and advance publicity arriving about the Cheltenham Literature Festival; full details of the programme are due out tomorrow but you may already have seen previews in today's Times. Our Gloucestershire Writers' Network event is scheduled for the evening of Sunday October 15th. It promises to be a really good evening - not only do you get to hear poetry and prose from our brightest and best local writers, our two competition judges, Roy MacFarlane and Lania Knight, will be reading from their latest publications.Tickets go on sale in the first week of September. Our event has been a sell-out in recent years, so don't miss your chance!
What with family, health and other personal issues taking up inordinate amounts of time and energy, writing has made slow progress lately. But the odd half an hour has seen a couple of "fragments" for my people watching project, which I'm hoping to illustrate with some of my husband's photographs. The project started a while ago now and has grown sporadically over the last couple of years, but it may actually be coming to fruition at last!

Moving into care
She turns out drawers,
prospecting, sifting
a life nearing completion.
What to keep,
to let go?
Specks of gold
glisten in the mud.
