In 1986 NSUK, a UK Buddhist lay organisation, put on a show at Hammersmith Odeon theatre called ‘Alice’. It involved almost every member of the organisation, who gave their time to rehearsals and the performance freely. It was a life-changing experience for many, me included.

The rehearsals began in Spring 1986 and were almost nightly at the end.

It took me less than 3 minutes to shoot these and the others in the set that will be posted soon.

Not satisfied with a new couch Ava decided it would be fun to turn a neat pile of towels and covers into a bed.

We rescued this Doberman from a puppy farm where she was abused by being continually bred from. That’s how they make their money at puppy farms and they don’t care how the Dog feels about it either.

So in my book Ava can do whatever she likes here!

Yeah, just chillin’, stokin’ a bonfire and checkin’ on one of the horses. That’s my Dad in the top photo! It’s  rare I put family members on my blog or online but I made sure he was OK with it. Check those clouds.

At this time, these last few weeks since July 17th I’ve been almost exclusively at my PC writing a screenplay during the day and re-writing in the evenings or researching for it. This was a break and it felt good to get some fresh air.

But, I consider the last few years a break so I got back to work straight after this and won’t stop until it’s complete. Then, I have 3 more I’m working on, one of which just needs a severe re-write.

I put the Paparrazi work on the back burner for now. I figure this will be more longterm beneficial and I’m lovin’ every minute of it. I’ve always wanted to write and produce my own material so now I am.

This is the TV and information room on the campsite at dusk.
