Look forward to hearing about what you do next!
I feel a touch of merry-go-sorry to say that I have just one show left in my Secret Lives of Words tour. The merry part is that it will be in beautiful Truro. Do join me if you can. bit.ly/3PTegKw

Meanwhile I will have news soon of a brand-new show, kicking off later in the year.

My crankiest belief is that we are now being sold on solutions to problems which only exist because we've let others convince us they exist. That is what "innovation" seems to be in 2025.

There's a level of introspection that's just not happening these days re: what actually needs to bother us.
