[Apologies for the prolonged silence. Life, and events outside of my control have been demanding my attention over these last few months. But I’m back now, and determined to continue writing, thank you!] Its’ 9am, a Tuesday morning and there are about a dozen people, including myself, scattered silently around this doctors waiting room. AllContinue reading “POLLY’S PYJAMAS… Part One.”

A LUCKY MAN…Reflections.
We’re walking back to the car now, Mike and I, having left the temporary sanctuary of the pub behind us and our annual Salisbury adventure is nearly over once more. Again it springs to mind that I nearly didn’t come along this year and yet I now know I would have missed so much ifContinue reading “A LUCKY MAN…Reflections.”

A LUCKY MAN, Part Three.
After vacating our table in the café Mike and I set-to wandering around the shop and gallery at Fisherton Mill. There’s always the weird and wonderful on display here, pockets need to be deep for some of it but by no means all, and it’s always well worth a visit. After about forty minutes weContinue reading “A LUCKY MAN, Part Three.”
A LUCKY MAN (PART TWO).
It’s a short walk down through the restaurant to the counter where I order two fresh Cappuccino’s and offer to wait while they are prepared. Looking back up the dining room to where Mike is sat with his back to me, I ponder on what he has just said over the last few minutes. InstinctContinue reading “A LUCKY MAN (PART TWO).”
A LUCKY MAN (PART ONE).
Every year, for as long as I can remember, just before Christmas my close friend Mike and I make an annual pilgrimage to Salisbury, a city about 25 miles from home, famous for its cathedral and other beautiful old buildings. It all started as a need to do Christmas shopping but has now become aContinue reading “A LUCKY MAN (PART ONE).”
Little Star
First off my apologies for the lateness of this post. It was supposed to follow-on quite closely from the last but I’m sorry to report that the ‘Hand of Shite’ has intruded into my world again and I have been quite unwell for a while. I’m on treatment and better now; more of this anotherContinue reading “Little Star”
STARS
I don’t suppose that many of us go through life without experiencing at some point or another, an event that causes us to stop in our tracks and consider. A jolt, either physical or mental, perhaps both that results in our taking stock as it were of what we are doing and where we areContinue reading “STARS”
Reply to Hazel
A couple of weeks after my last blog came out a lady named Hazel posted a comment to it. It is a long comment but I realised possibly many people would miss seeing it, which would be a shame as I believe it is written from the heart and holds numerous interesting points and parallelsContinue reading “Reply to Hazel”
THE BIT IN THE MIDDLE.
A few weeks ago I was talking with Elaine’s best friend Julie; we were discussing Elaine’s book and possible ways of bringing it to a wider public. This had been the subject of a previous conversation between the two of us and Julie now mentioned that she had since been speaking with a friend ofContinue reading ” THE BIT IN THE MIDDLE.”
