I am reading his book The Ode Less Travelled: Unlocking the Poet Within. I knew he was intelligent, witty but somehow I didn’t expect a serious book of substance. Shows you how wrong you can be huh?

For thinking about
Writing so far
Well it’s going slowly surprise, surprise! I do have a good reason for starting later than I thought. I have been doing a CELTA course (learning to teach English as a foreign language). This turned out to be a lot more intense than I had expected. It lasted the whole of June so I have not really done any writing for a bit. I am ready to get going now though – with renewed vigour.
There is plenty to talk about. Just think about one area – politics. In the space of 2 weeks we are leaving the EU, getting a new Prime Minister (yes a woman), and watching the Labour Party disintegrate in front of our very eyes. Plenty of material there.
