![]() ![]() Over the years I’ve come up with suggestions – I’m hopefully doing something for next year which is an idea I’ve had for several years that has been bubbling along. How long has the idea for Robot Of Sherwood been bubbling away? Has that been a while too? I watched it again today and I have to say I cried yet another time. It was a blessed thing from beginning to end, it was a wonderful thing to do and I’m very proud of it and very touched by people’s response to it.Īs you should be.
