I’ve never been one for birfdays. Send me a card if you want/must and I’ll be more than grateful. Although these home-made shortbread men was such a nice and heartfelt touch—thank you Shazia.

What is best?
“What’s New?” is an interesting and broadening eternal question, but one which, if pursued exclusively, results only in an endless parade of trivia and fashion, the silt of tomorrow.

I should do more as I really enjoy putting them together…

Embrace: Short Beauty
Currently working up a script for a film short inspired by the work of the fantabulous Hillman Curtis.

A Start
I like starting things. It has its own rhythm and *expectation.
*Don’t expect too much though so you can be impressed as we go on.
