x2 second drafts completed
May 25, 2022
I have been very busy this week writing and am now happy to report that the second draft of both Avalon, my book exploring Glastonbury, and my novel Solstice has now been completed. Now it's time for the third and final drafts of these docs, which in these instances is just proofreading, grammatical tidying up and typesetting the documents for publication. What a good start to this cold and drizzly Wednesday morning 🙂
More Project Juggling
May 22. 2020
Okay, so time-wise, I am nearly a quarter of the way through this Avalon zine project. Having taken a week off to crack on with another project I am working on (Solstice), I thought it was time that I had better crack on with Avalon:
Return to Solstice
May 13, 2022
I am happy to report that the first draft of Avalon ~ the Glastonbury Zine has now been completed :) Next up for me now is to proofread the articles and edit the photography and carry out a little in-page design. I am going to take a rest for the next couple of days though to enjoy the weekend. Catch you all on the other side... :o)
Juggling Projects
May 12, 2022
I've been cracking on with the Avalon project at a fair pace. But after the first draft of it has been done, I will have to ease back on its progress to concentrate on the second draft of Solstice. Oh, and that Gower book I had to put on hold because of illness wrecking my creativity, well, my mind has finally returned to this delayed project. The book won't be as first envisioned, but… Well, I'll speak further on this matter soon...

The Glastonbury Zine (Day 6/100)
May 6, 2022
Worked all day. I have about half of the first article written about the night I spent on Wearyall Hill. All the photos for that feature are ready to go. I have also sorted the images for the photo essay that follows immediately from that first article in the upcoming first issue of Avalon - The Glastonbury Zine
Please find a few images from the zine below:

Avalon ~ The Glastonbury Zine
May 04, 2022

| Probably the best bench in Glastonbury |
"Whenever my mind turns to Glastonbury, I always remember the times I spent there atop Wearyall Hill. Once I spent hours on its summit in the freezing snow of a Winter’s solstice, having mistimed the sunrise! Sat there in the complete darkness, I still remember the chill and the shuffling and munching noises of the local sheep, made mysterious in the blackness of the night, who came to keep me company. It was as though it had happened only yesterday..."
- snippet from the upcoming issue 1 of Avalon -The Glastonbury zine
Despite the nagging of The Soosh, I managed to get the new Avalon zine website up and running today :)
I have also sorted the imagery that will accompany the article I am writing for the physical Avalon zine, some of which you can see below:
I like the images above as I think they illustrate the stark polarities that characterise the human condition. In this instance, people who go out of their way to wantonly kill something as innocent as a tree and those who cherished and actually loved the now sadly demised Glastonbury Thorn. I count myself lucky to have had the opportunity of both witnessing and recording the ceremony. Sadly, even the trunk of the tree has now been removed from the hill :(
Anyway, I think that's enough work done for today...
