I should be packing by now, but a short note here before I am off. All is prepared for my trip to Wales, well all that I could think of that should be prepared. There are a couple of changes to the original plans: The school children will not be there. The school has withdrawn [...]

Red and White I am very busy planning the 4 days film shoot in Wales in February.
