Did the 2020 Mystic Film Festival award any prizes at all this year? They are very quiet on that subject. – at Blandford Forum, England
At last! Following an online viva last Friday with two professors of English, I have been awarded a Phd on the Elizabethan writer Robert Greene. Years of work with a happy conclusion. Phew!

Solstice night spent 'going the rounds' following the route taken by Hardy's Mellstock Quire in U T Greenwood Tree. Torrential rain kept us in Stinsford (Mellstock) church with readings, carols and mummers. Atmospheric and delightful.

First outing this year for Wessex Morris Men's mummers' play at the Halsey Arms. Some new casting meant interesting interpretations of several roles. The Turkish Knight is hoping for a Bafta, but life usually disappoints me. Stick and sword dancing in near darkness proved risky.

Saturday dancing with Wessex Morris Men for the delectation of Christmas shoppers in Dorchester. The sonorous town crier ensured everyone knew we were about. Afterwards, pasties and real cider in the skittle alley of Casterbridge's oldest pub. Thomas Hardy would have been proud.

Half-way through a very successful first Blandford Literary Festival. Several sold-out events. My talk on my new children's novel 'The Dead World of Lanthorne Ghules' is at 5pm on Saturday. Fingers crossed for an audience in double figures.
A successful morning signing copies of 'The Dead World of Lanthorne Ghules' in Waterstones, Dorchester on Nov 2nd despite competition from the Rugby World Cup and Armageddon weather!
Congratulations to fellow Pushkin Press author Ele Fountain on winning the Longer Novels category in the Sheffield Children's Book Awards for her wonderful 'Boy 87'.
Very pleased to have an enthusiastic review in today's Guardian of my spooky children's novel 'The Dead World of Lanthorne Ghules'. Don't be that one sad person who doesn't own a coy.

I’ve signed up to be the first to know how to vote tactically for a #PeoplesVote if there’s an election, so we the people can solve this Brexit crisis. Will you? #VT4PV #LetUsBeHeard
Morris dancing today with Wessex Morris Men in the deserted Dorset village of Tyneham. Picturesque but melancholy - the village, not the dancers, that is.
