Just over a month ago one of the most memorable days of my life was just beginning. It was the day of ‘We Forgot The Lot’, when more than 300 children and young people with and without Tourettes took over Tate Britain.…

A few days ago I wrote a post about noticing details at the tops of buildings. I ended with a caution about not walking into lamp-posts. Regular readers of this blog will know I have a bit of a thing about lamp-posts and this throwaway remark was a nod to that.…

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve begun work in earnest on Backstage In Biscuit Land (BIBL) and I’m really enjoying getting stuck into this new creative challenge.
