Welcome to the world

Can I introduce you to my beautiful new niece? ... isn't she peachy? Or perhaps I should say Rosey or, to be more precise, Rosa.

I've just got back from a fantastic three weeks directing a street theatre project with students in Dundee. They were fantastic and so was the result. It was a bit like blissful autocours where when I said my opinion it had hugely more weight than everyone else's and I would always get my way, though I like to think that I was a diplomatic tyrant.

One of the students said 'did you always want to be a teacher?' which gave me a very strange moment. I'm so used to that question with 'actor' on the end.
