And so, I’m writing this week, actually in the zone. All of a sudden, Isla appears next to me, fanning me with a towel. ‘Thank you, I said. ‘But what are you doing?’ ‘Writers need fresh air,’ she said. She’s not wrong. Hi. It would seem I’ve taken a blogging break. For no good reason, by the way. I’m back. There was that week I put my back out, also for no good reason. I twisted myself, and for a…

And so, this is literally the first chance I’ve had to sit down (pun may be intended) and write properly in two weeks. Or something. I should take a tape recorder on my travels. Isla has been off school for two weeks on sneaky Scottish school holidays that used to be for farming, and are now for nothing. But, we did stuff with those two weeks. There was a lot of riding shotgun for me. I love road trips. Listening…
