It's been a long while since I went to a gig. Quite a few years ago I went to Reading with my younger Brother. I felt too old to be there even then. I was surprised though about how many people of my age and perhaps older were there.

Thanks very much Claudine

I haven't really been away. I look in pretty much every day, but I admit I have not been very active. That's because I have not written very much new work this year. Mostly I've been editing or trying to improve old stuff.

Glad you liked this.
I do have a background to this story in mind, We'll see if I can make it into something, Prequels and sequels need careful planning if they are going to work it seems to me.
