I’m not at Greenbelt in person cos access BUT if anyone at Greenbelt would like to see my lovely grumpy face I will be digitally present on the panels at the URC Cafe this morning at 10.30 (Whose dream are we living) and at 3pm on Sunday (How to dream while awake). Here’s a photo from Greenbelt last year to keep the algorithms happy.
