Should any readers be in the Monmouthshire area a week on Saturday - I'd love to see you at the launch of Once Upon A Time In Wales. Yes, after a very long gestation (exceeded, I think, only by elephants!) my latest book will actually reach delivery on May 4th. Monmouth Library will be hosting the launch, and the morning will be introduced by Robin Davies, chair of the Monmouth Welsh Society. I'm delighted to say that review copies have been very well received.
After a short breather I'm now well into my next venture, which again is taking me on trips around the country. The weather hasn't been particularly kind of late (I spent a week on the coast at Nant Gwrtheyrn at the beginning of the month in howling gales and pouring rain) but it's hopefully looking up a bit now. Which is just as well as most of my journeying is on foot! I'm looking at pilgrimage, in its many senses - religious and secular - and it's proving both fascinating and challenging. It's a topic that has interested me for some time. The 600 odd miles of the Camino de Santiago might be a little beyond me now (though who knows ...) but journeying with intention to places of significance can be achieved in so many ways - and with all sorts of adventures as you go.
