Put in charge of ordering pizza for large gathering of friends on Sunday. Very proud of my organisation, sorting it in advance today. Oh, who’s at the door? Doh.

It’s never too late – I was 44 when my debut poetry collection was published – I’d been writing poems forever. I’ve published 8, 9th on the way. And my debut novel, linked with my poems. Earth is rejuvenated by spring, creativity keeps you young. Don’t give up, just keep renewing yourself & your art
