Either tortoises live long lives because they don’t hurry
or they don’t hurry because they live long lives.
Sometimes your thinking can make you cry,
sometimes your crying can make you think.

I give poetry readings in private houses to groups of eight or more. Currently I don't charge for this but will accept donations and/or petrol money if the private house reading is outside the Melbourne metropolitan area.
To date I have given private house readings in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and China.
My family and I – Helen, our son Walter and our dog Buzz (black miniature poodle – housetrained) are interested in house-swaps in Australia and overseas and are interested in billeting visitors to Melbourne and being billeted ourselves when we go on poetry reading tours in Australia and overseas.
