Oh what we wouldn’t give To have another life One which has more sunshine Where no neighbours give us strife. Well here’s a little story Given with a pinch of pride, To tell you that you can indeed; And land the other side. Not only as the self you were: Bit all the missing parts,Continue reading “Road trip”

A splash of ink
Have you been whispered about? Have you ever felt the cold prickles of recognition when you realise your name is being said, but not to you.Have you ever had an opinion about anyone else?Of course you have.

Mulling it over
At this time of year we usually start gathering up memories of all the adventures we’ve had, the travels we have been on and the places we have explored.

Faith, hope and charity

Maybe a bit of both, with the scales weighted drastically in different directions depending on the weather…. Like the radio broadcasters we listenContinue reading “May the force be with you”
The art of receiving
The first couple of weeks of lockdown were taken up with a non stop production line . Every sofa, table, inch of floor and kitchen worktop was taken up with a pile, box or bag being printed, sorted, collated and labelled. It was industrious, challenging, extremely time consuming and, because things didn’t arrive from Amazon,Continue reading “The art of receiving”
