Work-O-Rama

Its been mad city here at my house for a while. March is always really busy with school visits and its been pretty much non-stop since the last week of Feb but now i have 2 weeks off to put my feet up or maybe go mad and paint the shed!! Over the last few weeks i've been in schools all over the country including Liverpool, Chorley, Derby, Newcastle, Norton, Halifax, Harrogate, Blackpool, Maccelsfield, Ripon, Leeds, Hull, Scarborough, Doncaster, Rochdale, Gateshead and Belgium!!! I must have travelled 1000s of miles and i reckon i have done about 115 one hour performances!! Thats a lot of poems innit!! I have worked out that i have spoke to over 3000 people. In that time I have eaten 13 Twix Bars, 9 KitKats, 6 packets of Hobnobs and probably around 40 bags of crisps!!

Now i am going to go for lots of walks, read, build a summer house in my garden, lay a patio, go to the seaside, watch old black and white films, bake a date and walnut cake and er..eat it!!

Happy Holidaze!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Brussels!!!!!!!!!

I am sat in the International School of Brussels in Belgium. I am in the library between workshops. I have been here for a couple of days, writing and performing poems in the schools theatre!!! Yeah man!! How cool is that!!! The school is massive and has its won tennis bubble (what???). The people are friendly and speak a million languages. I've never been here before and Brussels is an amazing place full of old buildings and mysterious looking people who look like they;re in old spy films!! I like the place a lot!! I came on the Euro Star which is a train that goes under the sea, like some kind of sci-fi movie. It was cool as custard. Yeah man!!!!!!!
