I saw my first lapwings of the year just this morning, over fields near Walkington, East Yorkshire.

The good rejections really help. To have been read and appreciated stays the itching hand from changing things again.

Coldwell is available from Wrecking Ball Music and Books, if you're lucky enough to be in Hull.

Inside: Work in progress.
