Its official!! I have now been doing this job - not really a job is it, going round reading poems out - for ten years now!! Ten whole years as a full time professional poetry bloke. I can't believe i have got away with it!!! I have never had a job before as long as thing, never done anything for ten years. It a long time innit? 3650 days. Thats 3650 breakfasts, dinners and teas that i have eaten as a professional poetry bloke. Anyway , i'm not one to linger on whats gone before - the exciting stuff is whats in front of you - but i have done a few stats about the last ten years and here they are......
1000 plus school visits
500 libraries
Over 5000 performances
Performed to 250, 000 people
7 books published
450 poems published
2500 autographs
543 school dinners
Been on the telly 5 times
Been on the radio 50 times
400,000 miles travelled - thats about 14 times around the Earth!!!
226 scotch eggs
546 packets of crisps
I have also worn out 5 pairs of shoes , six pairs of trouses and seven shirts!!
Blimy, it really has been a ride.
So far.......
