And so I draw this project to a close with a sense of optimism and pessimism — that there could be great things ahead or it could just as easily go arse over tail!  I do have a plan and between now and the spring equinox — Friday 20th March 2026 at 2.46pm — I’ll have to make my mind up what I’ll do with it.  But as I’ve been writing an auld poyam has come to mind — yin fae 13th century Germany.  For want of a nail the shoe was lost, For want of a shoe the horse was lost, For want of a horse the rider was lost, For want of a rider the battle was lost, For want of a battle the kingdom was lost, And all for the want of a horseshoe nail. So what is my closing thought — individuals cannot do it on their own — there must be collaboration.  Creativity takes time and funding buys time.  There is hope.  Big things actually happen.  Failure is as possible as success.  So maybe I need tae gae thon nail yin last rattle!
