The wonders of nature
On my walk this morning in grey, drizzly weather I heard this really weird, deep, whooshing sound. It was quite disturbing, especially in the gloomy, moody weather.

Yesterday I was watching people getting excited online about the new Apple TV+ series Silo and then realised that my daughter Mollie was a featured extra in it!
She only says a couple of words but being in a significant scene with Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Robbins, is pretty cool.
She has also written several plays, the most recent of which will performed on the Brighton Fringe.
She is seeking crowdfunding so if anyone feels inclined to support a young aspiring writer…
