My friends, my children, my art

It's been quite a while since my last post, and I'm not sure of the reason why because i enjoy writing this blog. I think i hit a bit of a trough creatively - and work has been monumental of late, sucking up whatever energy I have.

Anyway, I have been inspired by friends Al and Olly who have given me encouragement -and also Pete Townshend, a fellow blogger. I had a few days off and built a little home page to put my poetry on, which I'm quite pleased with - and also signed up to myspace. I am still writing and editing my book and enjoying the process. I have also been writing new poetry and plan to give some reading of my work in London.

Domestically, we've had problems with the children's school and had to move them to a new school, which has been quite stressful, and also my wife and I have agreed to split up. I'm looking to move into London as soon as possible. At the moment we are focussing on the children and making sure they are settled then sorting out the money side. This saddens me and is not what I want, but we both agree it is pointless carrying on the way things are. We are and will remain good friends, so who knows what the furture will bring?

I remain as always optimistic, and i take strength from my friends, my children, and my art.
