I pedaled to my gig at Whitminster today; could be said to be an interesting decision, Clare might of said foolhardy! It had rained for a good 24 hours non stop and it was really heavy at times – cats and dogs, horses and cows! Lots of surface water on the road and deep water in places. I had the misfortune to ride through this deep water when a car decided to come from the opposite direction – ouch! I ended up wetter than I should have been as a result. My bike Sir Gawain was only cleaned a week or so ago and will need to be done again!

Had great fun at the gig telling Anansi stories, Russian Folk Tale, Harriet the Hippo, the Six Swans and dream story I wrote that had Arthurian themes running through it. I was asked some really good questions about the content of the stories.
