My girlfriend took me away for my birthday. We went to Somerset and Cornwall, where it rains a lot. We drank Tribute and ate fish and went on one walk which lasted five minutes and disappointed a Shetland pony. The Eden project was hot and wonderful and we also visited my namesake. Here, I attempt to look something like an air hostess.
Now I'm back at my desk. I sometimes find it hard getting back into projects when I've been away. I have to trust to what I've learnt works: soaking in the story, reading what I've done, letting it buzz around me. I'm more likely to succeed by not trying.
