3BT
3BT – bacon, beech tree, surprise curry
1. Salty Swillington bacon for breakfast. 2. A beech tree has fallen down in the horses’ field! We explore it thoroughly – the exposed roots, the just-set-to-leaf buds and where the trunk had split open in the pressure of the fall. I climb up the trunk like Batman up a building. 3. Piles of pulses: [...]
3BT – smooth, tangy, super market
1. The house – a friend’s family home – is so very ‘us’ that it’s like looking into a highly desirable future. There are so many things I like about it that I’d never be finished listing them but the thing that strikes me the most are the three, odd wooden chairs around the table [...]

3BT – all 43 of them, lots to choose from, wonky donkeys, over
1. We always try to pick shows that will stretch the group – not just the common, easy ones – but I think this has stretched them the most. Everyone has been involved so much – the entire cast on stage nearly all the time and involved with stylised, physical theatre, as well as half [...]
