"I decided to set the novel in Zimbabwe. Not out of any desire to reclaim an estranged national identity or ‘authenticity’. In fact the opposite compelled me.
A lovely night at the Cellar Bards last night. Always a delightful audience and varied, inspiring and enjoyable open mic. I didn’t take many photos… here are some quick snaps of the journey there and back including a walk on Poppit Sands (and, not pictured, various good snacks) ... and one of Ben doing his thing! Thanks to Jackie and Dave , wonderful hosts as ever, and to Kittie for putting us up.
