Today (or at least that&#8217;s the plan), after the pre-requisite trips to the green-grocer, butcher and supermarket for anything we can&#8217;t source elsewhere, after the cooking of dinners and the referee-ing of small children, I&#8217;m going to try to decide what I&#8217;ll work on next. This should be easy (I always [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Plotbunny: A tempting idea for a story that hares off into strange territory upon pursuit. Known for breeding rapidly and dividing a writer&#8217;s attention to the point of achieving nothing at all. (unword.com) I think we all know the scene.

On our long walk the other weekend I came across a hawthorn in bloom, growing beside an oak with new leaves, over what appeared to be an old well.

I&#8217;ve known him since I was four.
