- The wedding took place on a farm, with buggies arriving at sunrise and aromatic foods being prepared on wood stoves.
- Young men and women helped with setup, cooking, stock duties so the families didn't have to work.

- A large communal meal was held at noon, with potatoes, gravy, homemade bread and pies, followed by the women singing.
Within the chaos of a war-torn Iraq, a widow tries to live a peaceful life with her young son. Sarah’s life soon changes drastically when her son disappears. Contemplating suicide by day, and seeing strange realms by night, she meets a dark serpent who promises to help her. And so she sets off in search for her son. But who is this mysterious entity? And will she be able to overcome the hazards that lie ahead?
Sarah's journey leads her through the violent and corrupt reality that she lives in. She experiences mystical voyages at night in the dark realms of her own mind, struggling to understand the world around her, and the very nature of her existence. The Shinging Serpent is a thought provoking and heart rendering tale that is bound to enlighten as well as entertain.

Talk you round till dusk by Rebecca Tantony sampleClive Birnie
Every one of us is a complex and beautifully woven fabric of stories, and whether we tell them or not, there are no measuring tapes or weighing scales to speak of their worth. Talk You Round Till Dusk is a collection of tiny stories and big ideas celebrating the wonder of the moment. It’s about those journeys in a car driving across a desert, or walking from the bedroom to the kitchen, where we discover that what we have is enough. Stories so small they fit in the palm of a hand, yet carry the weight of the world with them.
Talk You Round Till Dusk is a collaboration between spoken word artist Rebecca Tantony and illustrator Anna Higgie. In a mix of flash-non-fiction, short stories, poetry and 16 full page colour illustrations, Rebecca and Anna take us on on a philosophical road trip from Bristol to Andalucía, Nicosia, India, San Francisco, Death Valley and Mexico.
