Squeaky
Printed ephemera, bits of packaging and one or two 3D items of interest collected over the years cover one wall of my apartment. One of them became part of a morning ritual. Some time ago, on a visit to Prague, … Continue reading
May Day with Deptford Jack in the Green and the Fowlers Troupe
The only member of the Fowlers Troupe I recognised, from seeing his work before, was Bob Humm,wearing the horse’s head. Despite wearing a coronet of leaves I felt distinctly underdressed. The procession left its starting point at the Dog and … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg and islands
Islands are like magnets to me. Some I’ve visited because I was commissioned to write about them, or run workshops on them, others simply because I was curious. Sometimes my notes stay in one of my drawing books, biding their … Continue reading

The Queen in my suitcase
‘Aha!’ said a member of Glasgow airport’s security staff as a small Royal person was revealed lurking at the bottom of my suitcase. Ten years ago this summer, whilst returning from the Outer Hebrides, my luggage set off a shrill … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg and National Poetry Day at the seaside.
The sun shone on National Poetry Day, and I was lured to the seaside to add a contribution to a Poetathon held at Kollectiv Arts Centre in Folkestone. En route to the coast via High Speed train, I wrote a … Continue reading
