Outside these Walls
I sharpened my knife today. Not a kitchen knife, the knife I made in the Anglo-Saxon village last year, the one I made in the forge and worked on in France when my life was outdoors. When I came home to life indoors it was left, as were the shoes I made and the other leather-work.It has not been shortage of time which has kept me from these projects, I have had time in plenty and time when I have sought gainful employment yet still spurned those things which were so valuable to me in France. So why is life outdoors so different?
We have no technology to distract us, only alcohol, but, it seems to me, that the main difference is that outdoors we have a potential audience, someone to say "What are you doing?",, to comment, to admire or criticize. Here at home between these four walls there is no-one. I rarely play well at rehearsals - I need the audience to give my performance some meaning.
Worked on two CDs recently - good comments from those in charge - how much I loved it. They will be out in the Autumn.

I can't wait to hear these CDs! Please let me know when and where they are available... of course, by the time they are released, I will be in London. Hard to believe!
