A great mixture of places to visit today and more hard talking this time with the clergy of the Deanery. Then an out and about afternoon finishing with an evening with the Elmet trust in the last run down to the Ted Hughes poetry Festival in about three weeks time.
It’s been an amazing journey for us. Ten years ago people were trying to create a poetry centre in the birth place of the poet laureate. On Ted’s death we seemed to gain an impetus for a time but the centre was going nowhere. A few of us began to hatch a plan B, if we can’t have a building, let’s have a festival. Last year was our first festival, a big success, this year is bigger and we’re all a bit scared but we are raising our game, building our capacity, etc. etc. We have Andrew Motion as our big guest this year… so yes excited but scared.
