Morran

{I am 12 weeks of age. The year is 1975. I am in my Mum's arms, and the original Dixie is in my Dad's arms.}

{The year now it is 1979 and it is summer. I am nursing Dixie II (so tiny! So ghost-like here in this photo scanned) with my Fairy Godmother, Hilary.}

Delighted to see the release of The Morran Book Project this morning. There are two versions of this book, and I am thrilled, truly thrilled, to have a work made in collaboration with Louise appear in both.

Our piece, Morran’s dreams of the stage take amazing form (i), (ii), and (iii) has perhaps, like many of the contributions if not all, taken on new meaning since dear Morran has passed away. I was sorry to read Camilla’s news, to say goodbye to a pet is so hard. They leave an unfillable gap, and we are so lucky to be able to have shared our days with such marvellous, perplexing, loving, sneaky, loyal, humorous layabouts for as long as we get chance to.
 
To all the pets I have been lucky enough to know, I hope your dreams are a little like these recent works. Thank-you for giving me the chance to get to know you.
