This works very well indeed.

This works very well indeed. You capture a real sense of weariness and this swan losing his beauty and his verve, but still proud of the past. I have heard that things are very difficult for skilled clowns now, with the decline of circuses and...

Posted on Thu, 08 Feb 2024
It's a bit grim and murky here (it tried to snow yesterday but gave up and retreated to rain) but there are the odd signs of new life. A couple of days ago I marked the momentous day in my diary - it was still proper daylight at 5pm! When I...
