I’ll be catching a flight from Edinburgh to Heathrow this morning – and then Heathrow to Montreal.

I’ll be flying back from Canada and straight into a workshop week that goes Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Birmingham

OK – maybe a bit of sore losing on my part – but the honours for the season have been shared well on reflection. I’m just glad I didn’t have a seizure a few weeks ago and pay the £1750 asking price for a pitch-side seat at the new Wembley – or, for that matter,

Up at 5.00am this morning to catch the 7.00am dance that kicks off the Spring Festival in Helston, Cornwall.
