Advanced tickets are now on sale for a performance of "Casting the Runes" at the beautiful Gladstone's Library in Harwarden on 6 November. If you are interested please email or message me. Space is limited. I'm afraid this will have to count as the Welsh leg of my tour this year...

As well as producing our show, I'm also an audio post production professional and I'm looking to take on some podcast editing and post production clients. Any genre is fine but I do enjoy a good paranormal show or ttrpg actual play. Happy to discuss working to any budget, just drop me a line.

Behind its Georgian facade, the Manor at Hemingford Grey dates from c. 1130, making it one of the oldest continually inhabited houses in Britain. Restored after WWII by author Lucy M Boston, it has beautiful gardens and is open to visitors in the summer.

I am fulfilling a long held ambition by visiting the Manor at Hemingford Grey tomorrow. It provided inspiration for the Greenknowe books of Lucy M Boston, which I loved as a child, and still love today. I can't wait!
