And I had such good intentions...

I'm an abject failure as a blogger!  Only four posts in a year!  Why on earth are you still reading?  I'd have given up long ago...Maybe you have...

Autumn news in brief, then. I've been to Austria with the school choir - cake capital of Europe! - and Venice with my mum - a special treat for her 'significant' birthday.  Both were amazing in totally different ways. I've had my teeth repaired - twice.  My lovely dentist says I'm not allowed to bite anything ever again.  I still have a bit of a black eye and a bad shoulder.  My new glasses cost about the same as a trip to Venice.  I've been to Birmingham a few times for ballet. I really miss being a Shakespeare Institute scholar. I'm trying to direct a production of 'Into the Woods'.  I discovered the joys of Gin Festivals.

See?  You haven't missed much.  Somehow it seems to be almost Christmas again.  The last G&P Christmas story was a staggering four years ago.  In frustration and grumpiness, I managed to scrawl over 4000 words of a new Christmas story on Saturday. I'm not promising anything will come of it, mind you.  But it's more than I've written in one go for a long time.

I have no time AT ALL between now and December 19th.  But... Don't give up on us just yet: who knows?  There might be a Christmas miracle!
