		<title>They will lean that way forever&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other night I couldn&#8217;t sleep. I lay in bed, thoughts tumbling through my mind&#8230;and then the song, &#8220;Suzanne&#8221; by Leonard Cohen, started up in my head.

		<title>Violets and primroses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I last posted anything. I&#8217;ve paused with my story at the moment but will pick it up again soon. I&#8217;ll be attending a two day workshop on creating picture books for children in June which I hope will give me a little guidance with forming the story and weaving in [...]]]></description>
