Audiograft, TEA and THE SONIC TUCK SHOP
I spent today sawing and drilling and swearing at broken drill bits and I shall spend tonight editing audio and writing a script. Why? Because tomorrow I am setting up my work for Oxford Brookes’ Audiograft festival. Before I get right back onto tonight’s editing and varnishing, I wanted to share with you here the […]
Liz’s Hen Do
Mikal, doing some knitting amidst our afternoon tea! I immensely enjoyed organising Liz’s Hen Do. I have never been to a Hen Do before, so I was slightly unsure as to what would be de rigueur. The Internet cafe where I worked in my early twenties was frequently assailed on weekend nights by drunken women […]
FO: Brenda’s Mitts
I started knitting these fingerless mitts (Fresco Fair Isle Mitts by Pam Allen, Interweave Knits, Fall 2008) way back in October when I last visited with Brenda and Tonia. Casting these on represented the start of the ALICE STARMORE YARN MANIA (which has pretty much reigned over my knitting ever since) and I am really […]
Around the A4074 now available for download
Since many of you emailed to say you missed the BBC iplayer and didn’t hear the show on Boxing Day, I posted it here for download. However the show was downloaded so many times that I have had to pay for excess bandwidth on this site! Additionally, the mp3 file for Around the A4074 was […]
Harefields
When I visited Aunty Hilary in Hospital, I took some knitting with me. What I took was this hat – Harefields – which I was making for Mark. It is his annual Christmas-present hat, and it was completed for just after Christmas as is now seemingly an annual tradition round here. The hat is knit […]
Aunty Hilary
I am very sad today because yesterday my Godmother died. She was 91 years old. Although she was not technically my Aunt, (she tried to explain the family tree to me many times and I was never able to fathom its complexities) the whole family has always referred to Hilary as “Aunty Hilary,” and she […]
Around the A4074
Here is the tracklist for Around the A4074, which will be available to hear on the iplayer for one week. Soundwalk stationery, created for World Listening Day, (July 18th) and designed to draw attention to the sounds around the A4074 especially around Dorchester, Warborough and Shillingford Joe Moran speaking about his book, On Roads and […]
Around the A4074: 6pm Boxing Day, BBC Oxford
Some of you may be interested to learn that the radio show I dreamt up back in October 2009 will air on Boxing Day at 6pm on BBC Oxford. In Around the A4074 I explore how the everyday context of the commute may be considered differently. There are interviews with Joe Moran – writer of […]
The wind that shakes the barley
The first things I did after moving in with Mark and redecorating our bedroom involved 1. creating a sock-knitting area in the bottom of my wardrobe and 2. curating a shelf-load of books on my side of the bed themed around adventures and journeys. I organised my books and my sock-knitting books/yarns etc. in tandem […]
