First day of my sixth month Wye Valley Residency.
Marvellous meeting, Bristolian folk exuding health and enthusiasm.
Flowers in bricks on bridge.
Hippies next to white church - no shoes in the rain.
Stillborn lamb - eye pecked out.
Childhood detritus - coke cans and skate ramps.
Noise beside river - "Busiest road in Wales".
Colouring in posters with felt pens.
Tea with milk and no sugar for everyone.
Puttanesca for dinner - rushed and lost keys.
Drill Hall, Chepstow for Picturesque talk.
Seaside rain - strange to be here by myself.
