Cousins - at mark and viv's house, insulation on the walls. - it is really chunky and sticks out from the walls.


Sat with the girls.



In a school-
I have a job to put stickers on everyone there, at an assembly.

Traveling across the moors

Meet some people sat by a rock.


I meet maria, some art project got a lot of money to plant a food garden on the moors, they were growing sweet corn, and beans, and all the usual.

I am impressed with the effort.

Wandering down ally-
I find my way back to the famous memorials shop in sheffield that is down by the steel works, near abbey dale rd,

Dad is there with me. We look at some tomb stones, and also notice that the place is being used as a blacksmiths workshop.

jedi warriors

I'm with mum dad and James in car. We have just got back from being out.

He says he has seen mini light sabers everywhere,


I find a few , they are really amazing, they light up and you can flick them on


Simon is playing with them, he has seen lots.


I find so dildos, they look like such cheep plastic imitations I can only imagine how unsatisfactory they would be.

I have some money in my pocket that I didn't know I had

I am walking through a rough area of town, and I discover the money just at the wrong time, when some people are walking past, they see the money and I get the feeling that they want to rob it off me.

I am with granny and judith

We are watching revenge of the syth

allotment pond

I'm at turners,
Jessica, where are we going to sleep?

I am planning on sleeping in one room,

A strange creature crawls in through the window, I am sick of seeing it again, so I grab it by the neck and am going to chuck it out of the window, but someone stops me, and we let it out carefully.


I meet adriano

We buy tools, we think about nicking stuff, break in , get caught, only just after 530,


Buy loppers

Adrianos Knife needs mending

Stanley

We wander up hill, he says he thought about spending money on a tea party, so we lucky,

Richard is up on the allotment

He's been working up there all day long,
I am surprised to see him.

My dad has dropped off various things from our house, the old roman mosaic, plus some blocks of limestone, and limestone dust,
I can see from the look in his eyes,
he is annoyed with me

He hugs one of my friends, adriano, and sara,

I cut him a bit of leek to try that is in my hand but drop it and so cut him another one, but he is annoyed because it still has a bit of soil on it. He says its ok this time, because he can handle this, but for others it would be no good for them.
"
Some of us have to work all day" he says to me with contempt.
It is evident that this is what he has be doing.

He is digging a square pond, which is lined with bricks and cement. I think we will put a liner into it when finished.

All the bits of materials from my parents old place are being included up here, the mosaic for paths the limestone for paths and walls.



Richard I feel, is going to take over up there, he wants the power of that place, as he has been kicked off his other allotments, for being too aggressive and disturbing other allotmenteers.

Fred and oli are here, and they have been roped in by rich to help dig the pond.

I have to admit to myself that the pond is actually going to look really good when finished.

I am worried that rich will claim this space as his own, and then people will only be able to come up here if they work with rich on his terms. I know what he is like only too well.

just being

Jack is playing music with a tabla player

My dad is there and I am colouring in a big square patch in gold, on a piece of paper.

"Its not really doing much" dad says,

"Some people find being more than doing" I say,

"Its true, sitar goes very well with tabla," he says,

The music is fantastic.

Meet gaga,
Conor introduces me to him,
He is very frail and wobbly. He has a constant big grin on his face.

Kids journeying


Adam and liz's. A fire burns, I have to get out.



Kids journeying
In school, I see two kids outside discussing journeys. A teacher is teaching a class of kids to journey

Eating chocolate squares from a box

Heeley city farm, its become abandoned, ma and friends want to help out with it.

the Valley Of The Moon

In bingham park - I meet some wild man there at 2 in morning with a friend. He is selling special magical instruments made out of wood, I buy a half finished one because I want to finish it myself, but he won't accept cash, so I give him some homemade chutney.

People have been having fires in the wood, and there is quite a lot of mess. People are wanting to move in, to live in the wood. I come across a swarm of hover flies, and they cover me entirely, and I am really worried but it turns out fine as they cannot sting. There are thousands of insects and animals in the wood, and people have been leaving litter which makes all the creatures sad, as its there home. I feel like someone between the worlds, half of the human world, and half of the wooded world....


I am now over in sharrow somewhere,
and I am staying in a house full of beautiful women. They are mostly foreign exchange students, they introduce me to a frenchman who is a revolutionary and has been fighting the authorities, he is in hiding because the authorities want him behind lock and bar.

They want me to stay with them and enjoy the life of pleasure that they offer but I can't, despite the fact that I do want to stay. I have a mission to complete.


I am now in a built up environment, and there are high buildings surrounding me.
I am with the french guy and we are being chased by the police.

I must protect this french guy, since he is a special revolutionary, and will help to change the world into a peaceful place. He has been causing unrest in the people by raising awareness, and they are claiming back what was once their own.

We are on our bikes, and we are cycling through a residential area. The police have lost our scent now, but I can see, up in the road ahead, a road block by a roundabout. There is no way out. We can't turn around as that would look obvious, so we cycle up on the pavement, and hope that they don't notice us.

They try to stop us, and so, without a seconds hesitation, we cycle off into the entrance of the park at the roundabout, where the cars can't follow. They know that we are the ones they have been looking for, and are hot on our trail now. If we go back onto the road, is there any hope of escape?

The police have blocked all the entrances of the park with cars, and patrols. We are trapped, it seems. I take us into the restaurant cafe in the park as it may well be a good hiding place.

While I am acting casual, buying a drink, the frenchman is getting us a disguise, and we put on our disguise in the toilets. Unfortunately, this causes a bit of suspicion with some of the customers, especially since now, the police have undercover spies in the cafe who are on the lookout for anything suspicious. I can see intuitively who is against us.

We must leave, the police are moving in on us...


The police are everywhere, they are too quick for us. This is our last chance. We walk out of the restaurant onto the road, with our disguise on before the news gets to the other police. Just as we pass another road block, without getting stopped, the word gets out about our disguise, and I can see that they are turning around and coming after us.

Back on our bikes now, it is dusk and the light is dimming. A yellow moon is rising above a little valley to our left creeping up the hill, and there is a sign post at the entrance to a dirt track saying, Valley of the Moon.

I know this to be our only chance... we must cycle through the Valley of the Moon, with all its dark paths, and hidden bogs, and winding mazes... The moon will be our guide. Perhaps they will be unable to track us in here...

Moon protect us, I pray.

The Fate Of the Tribes

I am in sheffield with my family, and we are walking through an old area of sheffield, down by a river and some old industrial buildings.

We look up onto the hill side, and I see, to the right side of the sunny hillside, an old medieval field system of old walls, and to the left, larger fields stretching out to the moors.

I say to my family, I must wander over to those hills, I might find a home in those hills,

And I am genuinely interested in seeing what they are like, and if there might be a spring nearby.

Up on the hill, now, and we are re-enacting a historical battle.

Two armies are gathered; I'm being lead by Snowfalcon, he is dressed in black, and is leading us into a dance... We are putting down our weapons and joining him in this dance.

The other army is being lead by Coyote, and he is leading them in the ways of martial arts and nature survival...

We are all lead into a circle, on the edge of the hillside, where, in the center of the circle, the youngest of the warriors must dual, to an unknown end, to decide the fate of each army.

I watch as the Son of Coyote, and one of our warriors steps into the circle. Their knives are in there hands, ready to fight.

Our warrior throws his knife at Coyote's son, and coyote's son jumps out of the way, the knife falling to the floor. Coyote's son picks it up.

His father speaks up saying
'Now we have the upper hand'

Our warrior is undaunted by this advantage of his opponent. He knows he has the skills of movement. He runs at coyote's son and kicks one of the knives out of his hand.

We stand, watching, with baited breath, the fates of the tribes unfold...

new sheds and curses...

I am at Richards place, up on the allotments.

Vanessa is giving talk to him, me and conor about structures,
"Look, this is the structure of a hierarchy, and this is a structure of a non-hierarchy" she points to two different diagrams.

Conor is not convinced by what she is saying. To him, they both look the same diagram. He questions Vanessa's logic, and it stumps Vanessa and leaves he on the back foot.

--
I am in sheffield in an urban back yard, and I am rebuilding a shed. It had been taken down and now needed rebuilding just round the corner. Richard is guiding the rebuild, he says that it needs to be here, right in the middle of the yard.

Conor is saying to Richard that he feels that his toothache is a curse that someone put on him. I say to him that some people think that curses are not real, and that they are only effective as placebo.

Richard says, "well, never mind if its not real, what about all the chaos that it brings?"

--

I am journeying home. I have no clothes, and I bump into friend claire who is same, naked like me. It's snowing, and we make a sledge, which is getting pulled by a wolf.

-

I am in a place where people are doing martial arts or something...

crossing the waters

I am visiting the garden of one of my old school teachers. He is showing me round his garden, and about how he designed it. He has asked me to come and look as it will help him make some important decisions on how to sort out the water issue; he built a pond awhile back and it has been leaking recently and has been flooding his little garden.

At the back of his garden is a little island of land, about the size of a large shed, surrounded by water. My friends are here now, and the waters are rising. Soon one won't be able to get to the island without getting ones feet wet.

I make a leap of faith to get onto it, and the earth on which my feet land starts to crumble away into the water behind me, but I just manage to get on safely. I look back to my friends on the other side. It will b too late now for me to get back or for them to get across...

-----

I am with my friends in bristol. Mikey needs some help shifting a bed out of his room. James and everyone else are too busy playing music to help him, so I go and help. I find a broken spade.

the magical estuary

Me, dad and jude are watching a famous guy on ted talks, speak about this journey he went on, which was very dangerous. It involved going on a giant rolercoaster ride up to the north pole. On the way back it took him to glasgow, the place where he would find his home to tell his story.

He then went onto finding a famous causeway, in Glasgow, where the tide sinks down enough across one of the river estuaries during low tide to get all the way across the sands, to this special place where you find lots of things that have floated down the river and got trapped in the mud and sands there. Near to this natural gathering point he found a magical land which became his home for the rest of his life.

---

I am walking through a parade in the streets of Glasgow, and I meet some of my brother Joe's old friends, two girls, they come with me, as we are going to a talk by my Brother about how he came to buy this special shop and turn it into an art space.

My brother Joe is now telling a crowd of us about this new shop. The location of this shop was just the other side of the tidal causeway, a place that overlooked the estuary. He is now telling a group of us how he came to buy it.
He told us how he spoke to the landlord if he could buy it off him, and the landlord said yes. There was a lot of work that needed doing to the building, and one of these things was that there was a tree growing up close to the building which needed digging out.

After digging out the tree, he went to gather other drift stuff from boTtom of river, the gathering point. He found some ornaments, 2 big porcelain turtles, and other things as well.


--

I meet fred, and we go on journey to find the bottom of this river, the magical estuary which deposits all sorts of useful things in it.

We have to walk out along a ridge into the estuary as far as we can go, and then we begin to wade through the mud and sands. We find a high point in the muds and sands, which takes us all the way to the bottom of the magical estuary. There fred finds a stereo player which has a tape of old folk music, which still plays and works. We listen to it while we seek around for more interesting things...

damage to the Maltings, and Mushrooms.

Talking to jill T about the book The. Triumph of the Moon, she doesn't like the look of it, as she thinks its a pagan book, and is worried by it,

Dad has been reading it and says its quite interesting, has read a page or two about a church in it, and recommends it. Jill is now curious, so asks dad to show her the page, and dad opens the book to the page but finds he has got pasta on the page he was reading, so he has to brush it off before he can show it to her.

Me and james are in wellow in the garden.

We are in the habit of playing a game of rolling logs down the hill.

The game consists of 2 giant logs, about 6 or 7 meters in length, and about a meter and a half in diameter.

Rolling logs this size down a hill, would, as anyone could imagine, be extremely dangerous. Well, we don't roll them far. One of the logs we keep in a fixed position half way down the hill and then when we role the other one, it crashes into this one and stops.

One day james has a few friends come round to visit. 2 ladies and boy. We tell them about the game. They get one of the logs rolling with a big push, and it rolls down towards the other log.
This time it hits the stable log and for some reason it bounces over the log and continues rolling down the hill.

Oh no! Its heading for the house!! There is nothing we can do, so we just hope and pray everything will be ok.

The log bounces up just before hitting the house and crashes into house, amazingly not breaking the windows or the wall.

We run into the house to check if everything is ok. Dad asked what happened. He is upstairs. "Your always causing more mess" he says. "Look at these floor boards, they are all out of line"

He shows us the floor boards on the landing. A few of them have been completely blown out of place by the shock of the log.


Dad gets to work on mending the floor.

I am with a large group of friends up the porter valley.

We are doing some environmental redevelopment work in the woods and fields. Mr Boardman, the PE teacher has been leading us. We are now having to put gravel over a big load of plastic, under which there is sand.

"You could have at least watered the sand before hand" he says.

I don't get it.

--

I am now out with Bendle foraging for Mushrooms.

Its nearly magic mushroom season, I think to myself.

It has been very damp, and its good timing. I think I am with Rich from Coed too. Bendle finds these ones that are a deep purpley blue colour, with gnome like hats on the top.

This one he finds is an old one, it is big and he wants to show us the spores. He picks it up and shows us underneath.

a precious thing from the sky

I'm in the park just down from my parents house. There are lots of people out playing as its a sunny day and its the holidays. We are going to have a mini music gathering, so everyone is called together. We sit in a circle, and people are invited to play some music. I play my Mbira and T-, one of my teachers, hears it and says to people there, 'mbira is my main instrument too. ' And to me says 'Let me look at your mbira'. I give it to him to look at. It looks different now in his hands. He says 'this is a very magical mbira, tell them where it is from',
'Zimbabwe' I tell everyone, and someone asks how much it cost, and I say 100 pounds. Some people laugh, and I don't really know why. is it because it seems expensive or cheap? I think to myself. I don't know.

now I have it back and I am playing it again... It has a magical effect.

--

We are on the top field, and its the wild heart gathering opening ceremony. We don't know what is going to happen. Everyone is gathered round in a circle.

Into the centre of this large silent and still circle walks a singer. She is short and has wide hips, giving her a grounded look.
She has a poise and confidence about her that grabs every ones attention.

She starts singing a quiet melody, which winds and twists and turns, and draws me in. Its as if she is making it up as she goes along, but for some reason, I know what is coming next in the melody and I get compelled to sing along.

I join in singing with her, I know this is my role, to be spontaneous, and I know instinctively my line I must sing. She smiles at me, and we go into a musical trance, and more and more people join in with us in this spontaneous song, that seems so rehearsed.

Dancers join me and the singer in the centre of this wide circle. They are all girls, and are dressed up in costume; flowing silky dresses of white and blue. They have a routine that they are following, a fast paced, flowing circle dance, that spirals in and out of its self. The dancers look at me, and I notice how beautiful they are. I suddenly feel like I've done the wrong thing joining this opening ceremony in such a spontaneous way, as I really don't know how to dance in synch with them, and I'm not wearing any special costume. I look to the singer lady for guidance but she is lost in the music, so I do what feels most right; I join the dancers moving in spirals.

It is very hard keeping up with them as they are moving very fast, and I get behind, and muddled up; my feet cross at awkward points, and I feel like I must look the fool to the audience,- one guy not in costume trying to fit in with all these beautiful rehearsed girls in flowing costume.

The girls find it really funny, and some try to tell me what to do, 'put one foot here, follow this way round, now cross over, and under...' They know I am exposing my self, and do their best to help me not make a fool of myself.

---

I meet S. She has moved into a new house in netheredge, a house on stead rd.

S is in the basement singing, and clearing out the old crap of the house.
She has got into a lot of debt with people over money, and these people are after her to make her pay for her debt. She thinks she may find something valuable in the basement of the house.

Her new flat mate doesn't like me, and gets into an argument with me. He has had mental difficulties, and has had a lot of difficulties with his relationships with different women. Now he has a crush on someone who is really too young for him, but he doesn't care, he says, 'but aren't you attracted to her as well?'

---
I am in a school somewhere in sheffield.
There is a corruption going on in this school, we are being made to wear uniform when we don't need to. I decide to find a way to get rid of this corruption, and Adriano gives me a pack of cards to use, to help expose this corruption, so that we can get rid of it.

I don't quite know how to use the cards, but it was something to do with dividing the pack in a particular way... But however I did it, it has now been done, and this corruption has been exposed.

Three or more people are now angry with me. They are class mates who, when finding out about the uniform corruption, decided not to wear their uniform, and con-sequentially have been put into detention by the teachers. They are blaming me, as they know I exposed it, and if they had not found out they would never have got tempted to push the 'fake' rules, and so get into detention. I see the difficulty I have got my self into, and realise I need to be more careful.

I go back to the school. There are a number of class mates in detention or something, waiting to do there lines, and
I see Nageeb through the window; he is one of the ones who got into trouble, and he looks at me with contempt.

I go back to Adrianos house, thinking that he might be able to help me find a way to sort out the problems that I have sparked off.

He says I can't really get him involved. It's nothing to do with him he says. I leave his house, and as I'm leaving I notice he has left the pack of cards which I used, on the door step. I pick them up, and flick through the pack. I notice something I had not noticed before when I used them.

They are a magic pack
Of cards, used to trick people. Some of the cards have no figures on them at all, some have figures on both sides, some are slightly smaller than others, and some are in different colours, and some have a secret coding system on the back so that you know what card you are going to get.

I ask the pack to show me a card that will have meaning for me now in this moment.

I get the ace of diamonds.

Diamonds are tough, I think, formed inside the earth. This card is symbolic of the earth I think, and so I decide that I must think about the earth and my connection to the earth.

At this moment a piece of metal comes spinning through the air above me. It spins like a giant boomerang spinning in circles, making wide arc like patterns across the sky.

I remember something someone told me about collecting and precious metals from the sky, - if your lucky you may find granitium - a special alien metal, which they use in there space crafts. Its the most valuable thing you will ever find, someone once told me.
I don't know what this spinning object will be, but I follow it all the same, for I feel it's important for me to follow it.

It spins down through the streets, this way and that. For ages and ages I chase it, thinking it will never fall to the ground. It leads me zig-zaging amongst the streets, like I'm on a wild goose chase. I think it must be important that no one sees me pick it up, as it could be the most valuable thing I ever find.

It is now getting lower to the ground, and is now only about a foot off the ground. I am right on its heels.

It clatters to the ground just at a junction to Abbeydale road. There are lots of people about, and I pick it up as quickly as possible, as I don't want them to see me pick it up. The object is a circular shape with three spiky wing bits coming off it, making it look a bit like a three spiked crown.
The metal is strong and light in weight, and dark coloured.

When I move even only a few yards, some assassins who have been tracking this special object fly out of the trees around, and point there guns at me and fire.. They have been tracking this object and its very important that they get it back up to the sky, as its a power object. I don't want to loose it, but I also don't want to loose my life, so I hurl it as hard as I can away from me. I don't know where it landed.

I wake up.
