Hi Sarah & all,
The irony here is that, Will's post probably did our shared practice a
favour as mentioned by one individual on the bbc blog. I am going away
now to Transmediale, my first time believe it or not...
I wish to thank your good self, and everyone else for all the 'personal'
posts in response the post below. Typically, I have not had the time to
get back to everyone, and there are lots - which is extremely
reassuring. So, next week I will reply to all emails personally and
discuss how things can move on.
Much thanks, and chat soon :-)
