Incredible honour to perform last night at Dylan Thomas’s birthplace on what would be his 110th birthday, with the gorgeous @LauraSheldon76. Such a lovely warm welcome and @BHHillustration was incredibly engaging- her images are honestly mind blowing.
Two white women are in front of drawn red curtains. One is standing, the other is sat down. There is a wooden floor and a sofa.

I am really NOT cut out to be the mother of an athlete… nail-biting stuff watching the live scores of the university surf comp and I’m not even there. Good win though (completely undeserved mum-pride)! Back to the editing now @Rebecca_Writer I’m on it.
