At the Free Verse Poetry Book Fair in London for my poetry imprint Drizzle-Dazzle. Twice the sales of last year and lots of interesting conversations. The Poetry Library was also present and asked me to become a supplier of books rather than a donor - a nice recognition of my work. #DrizzleDazzle

15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers were killed one-by one by Israeli troops on 23rd March. The body of one of the dead has been found with his hands tied. They dead men were hidden in a mass grave. The killings bear every indication of summary execution.

25 years of marriage! A meal with my wife Vicky yesterday and a dozen oysters then beef Bourguignon. We discovered those dishes in France while living there - 9 years near Paris and lots of good times. Our children grew up speaking French. A fitting way to celebrate past years 🥂🍾 #silveranniversary
