Hay Bales!

One of the themes in Ivy and Abe is randomness v fate. There are so many things in your life that might play out slightly differently and yet send your life off in a totally different direction.

One of the things I had in my mind when I wrote Ivy was the tragic death of Mike Edwards,  ELO’s cellist, who died when a hay bale topped and his his car.
They look so innocent  just now  perched on the  Downs in the late summer sun…

An Event Wed 25th July
