Cat’s out of the bag! Some of you have already guessed who I am (there have been some fabulously funny wrong guesses too).
My last post at the end of August coincides with my taking over The Valley Arts Newsletter (previously known as “The Arts Newsletter Experiment”). This blog got neglected while I got up-to-speed managing [...]
