Only 3 days left to visit Hatch Somerset’s latest exhibition JOURNEYS, & to find The White Cello in the secret Somerset barn! 🎻

Put on the headphones, listen to the music & poetry, & maybe you’ll relate to the need to make time for yourself 🤍

Thanks for your lovely feedback about it yesterday.

Journeys, the immersive exhibition by Hatch Somerset is open again this weekend in a secret barn in the countryside! Defy the rain & visit? It’s open 11am - 4pm both days with artist talks from 4.30pm today. My piece, The White Cello, includes photography, poetry & sound 🤍 Link to book, below…

It's Punkie Night tonight! Hand me a mangle-wurzel! 😀
It was lovely to be back presenting on BBC Radio Somerset yesterday & chatting with Roger about the tradition of Punkie Night. He was brilliant at explaining it & he also shared some of his unusual family traditions. Jam doughnut bobbing anyone?

It all started with a stubborn supermarket automatic door and a pigeon! 🐦

I caught up with him to discover more about his career. Here’s a clip.
