about me

This a picture of Mungo, a Highland bull we bred ourselves, he is much more interesting to look at than me. I live on a hill farm in West Argyll with a few Herdwick sheep and some Highland cattle. I have worked for 45 years in theatre and still do the odd bit when I feel like it. I write poetry and childrens short stories for adults,and am 50000 wrds into a YA novel

favourite books

All the works of Rudyard Kipling and AA Milne, Ray Bradbury, and Saki and so many more. I can't remember half of them and the half I do remember I forget.

A fun read, but thought that the dialogue didn't quite work, to many contemporary constructions, 'cheese eating surrender monkeys' a quick cheap laugh that does nothing for the concept. A good idea, but it doesn't quite work. Try reading it aloud, the disjointed moments become obvious. view book
