Lost In London

I had an interesting week last week. I was in Chorley on Tuesday morning with the I AM People, a project at Southlands High school and then i nipped across town to Shaftesbury short stay school, where we talked about Romeo and Juliet and trousers!! Then on Thursday i went all the way down to Essex to Thurock Primary school ( the sme school where Russell Brand used to go) to read my poems out. It was a good day cos we did some writing then mums and dads came in the afternoon, about 50 of them, to hear the poems we had written that day. Brand new poems they were, still in the wrapper!!I stayed at my mates Denis Bonds house. Denis is a writer like me and lives in Sidcup. I got lost on the tube trains ( aaarrrggghh!!!! way too many people) and went to Kings Cross train station for a train back up to Huddersfield. But a bloke with a long face told me that there were no trains at all because of a problem on the line!! I waited for 2 hours and finally got home at 11pm!! I was glad to see Huddersfield!!! Then on Saturday i was in Kirkby library, near Liverpool doing a song writing workshop with the One Voice Project. A great week, visiting some different places and doing some different things!! I have another good week this week, then its half term and then the madness begins!!! Loads and loads of schools all the way from the last week in Feb to the first week in April where i finish off in Belgium!! Holy Moly!!!!! Better go to bed!!!

Seven Goal Thriller In The Wigan Rain

Its Saturday, its raining, you have a day off, so what do you do?? I know, you go to Wigan!! yep, thats what i did. My mate the poet Ian Bland is Poet In Residence at Wigan Football Club and got some free tickets. I have never been to a Premier League match before so it was good to see one in the flesh! Wigan played Blackburn and beat them 4-3. A seven goal thriller it was. Blimy O Riley!!On the train on the way back my specs broke and i had to walk back with one eye kind so closed and probably looked like some mad bloke in the rain!!! All in all an eventfull day in the Wigan rain!!
