Great progress being made following your surgery but take it easy at the same time. I suggested you to our new Kinnegad library recently opened as a possible workshop next year so fingers crossed, you may get time at some stage. They have two rooms that would be an OK size plus a bigger, longer room that could be organised to suit.
You are a wealth of knowledge about things. I hadn't a clue what a medlar was so looked it up on Wikipedia for a bit more on it. Was funny: "A fruit which is rotten before it is ripe, the medlar is used figuratively in literature as a symbol of prostitution.
Once bletted, the fruit can be eaten raw, sometimes with sugar and cream—it has been described as being an "acquired taste" or used to make medlar jelly. It is used in "medlar cheese", which is similar to lemon curd, made with the fruit pulp, eggs, and butter."
Well done on the film's success, look forward to seeing it at some stage when available!
So great to hear your progress Anna and loved seeing Grace and Mark's walking with dogs film again. I've been working with Grace again recently - we need our poets, walks and dogs xx

I did not know that about medlars as a symbol of prostitution - that's perverse!
Anna, the seed sovereignty case just won in Kenya, with the help of the Irish researcher Clare O'Grady Walshe was so heartening to hear of too!
Yes, really great news!
