  • Bad Eggs

    Despite the following bit of fun, I really am quite good at cooking eggs. To me it’s an art, everything has to be finished at the same time, toast done, table set, tea made and poured. I remember the first time we had goose eggs, the lady at the campsite shop told us 20 minutes… Read more

    If I lost all my possessions I’d be in prison, roaming about on the streets naked is an offence, to start with, but in these unenlightened times having no money is also an offence. Is dignity classed as a possession ? If everything else was taken away from me, I hope at least I’d be… Read more
