Welcome to the Secret Diary Club!

This week’s three behind-the-scenes entries include a video recording in London plus People, Places and Things, followed by a sweary meltdown; a heavy-pressure day of Goldsmiths final steps, fallout from a paedophile at our daughter’s school, legal horrors; and from the archives, a shiny-happy day in 2013 where I note my decision to stop writing poetry.

Remember: what’s revealed in Secret Diary Club stays in Secret Diary Club. No sharing!

Now grab a coffee, a herbal tea, or a proper British cuppa, and have a nose :-)
