As it turned out, there was also a piece on the EDP Books page last week about my poetry prize, but I hadn’t spotted it until someone pointed it out. A bit overkill all in all, but I can hardly complain – though this one featured yet another photo of me I’d never seen before.<\/p>\n

The image above was created by Tonia Jillings, one of our InPrint group, from a poem I’d done in response to a bigger work of hers. Think it looks rather fine, really. <\/p>\n

We’ve just had a meeting of InPrint concerned mostly with preparations for Welborne, but also talking about the future – and it went much better than I thought it might. Perhaps that’s because I was acting as secretary and therefore didn’t know what was going on… The weather forecast for Welborne at the moment is disastrous – heavy rain – but as the BBC have never yet got a five-day forecast right, I’m pretty optimistic.<\/p>\n

One or two other things. I may have done my last bit of NVQ assessing. We had a meeting on Friday at which it turned out – unsurprisingly – that Archant were thinking of switching to the NCTJ under a new system. All a bit vague, but at present no candidates to be assessed. End of an era? <\/p>\n

The day before I went to a reading by Caroline Wood – one of the founder-members of InPrint – from her first novel, Noah Quince. The reading was in the Millennium Library, and was quite packed. Another InPrint founder-member, Marilyn Jeffries, was there and so was Peter Bright, former EN sub-editor who is a good guy. Had quite a long chat, went home and ordered the book on Amazon, together with poetry by Rita Anne Higgins, the judge in the Fish poetry competition. By sheer chance I have her reading one of her poems on a poetry CD I was given, and I’m delighted to say I really like it. Very Irish and witty.<\/p>\n

At the weekend Dot and I dropped in on my nephew and his wife and showed them some of our pictures of Florida – seems like a lifetime ago. Very pleasant evening which included tea and cake.<\/p>\n

Today Dot has been to Watton on a PSCL schools visit, and she should be back shortly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
