Hooray ! And thank you to so many people for the birthday wishes.

Back after a long break. Another chapter in my personal saga has just been published in a collection by Honno Press 'Painting the Beauty Queens Orange'. It was fascinating to read what other women were up to in the Wales of the 1970s. That and lots of personal questioning.

Love to get the messages out of the ether that bring the past into the present, remaking lost communities and bringing me back into them

@RobynHitchcock Let's compromise on the possibility of higher powers and call the indifferent mechanism Nature. Sounds more friendly with a flower-wreath

[Rose ISB @IsbRose]

@PatThomas1964 @doncast01 Thanks. Never thought of her but you're right of course

[Rose ISB @IsbRose]

I'd like to write a Witchseason Prods. memoir if I can find Witchseason people to talk to. All suggestions welcome.

[Rose ISB @IsbRose]

@PatThomas1964 Got that. What a glamour-photo of Joe

[Rose ISB @IsbRose]

@ThumbsMcGhee Yes I think so. I was hoping to talk to Joe first but, if he's too busy right now, I'll ask John Wood if he's interested

[Rose ISB @IsbRose]

@johnnytheshort I read (and own) the first draft of that, talked to Joe about it long before it was published. Joe is, of course, the key source but he is also very busy with his own stuff these days. Ever hopeful though

[Rose ISB @IsbRose]

@TheJazzDad I saw him on one session at Sound Techniques but doubt if that's enough to claim acquaintance. Would love to though

[Rose ISB @IsbRose]

@doncast01 Thanks. Those are the names I think, but of course Joe Boyd is the key. He did go with the idea last year but finding clear time to talk is always problematic

[Rose ISB @IsbRose]

I feel the responsibility of every Memoir that was a Christmas present. I hope that reading it turns out to be a happy experience, memories of a time we all shared, or wish we had. Then it'll be New Year and a better one than 2020

https://t.co/jD6AtAM7k2 should be the link for the YouTube video of my virtual book launch. So anyone who missed it first time, here's your chance to see it. Enjoy and Happy Christmas

[Rose ISB @IsbRose]

To summarize yesterday Donne- Nocturnal of the Eve of St Lucy's Day - the shortest day when written. Seems accurate most years but this one in particular. Then things improve.

[Rose ISB @IsbRose]

My memoir has made it to Chile, photographed there. I find that amazing, also the idea of it being under Christmas trees. That's ISB magic and I'm so grateful and happy.
