  • Diet of Madness.

    I haven’t grown this year, I’ve shrunk! I lost weight after My cancer then five year or so later put it back on whilst in hospital and recovering from burns. I got back down to 11.5 st just before we came away, so now I’m enjoying putting a little back on. A good old favourite… Read more

  • Run Rabbit Run.

    We are the many that feed the few, and you know what? Most of us can’t even see it, they have the wool so firmly over our eyes. So yes, if I could speak to my 20 year old self, although even that may have been a bit late, I’d say “Get out now”. I… Read more

  • Putting Up Bounderies.

    I quite like to challenge myself, firstly with coming up with a twist on the prompt, then turning the whole thing around.

  • When in England

    Historian Alan Clarke coined the phrase “Lions led by donkeys” The phrase originally relating to poor leadership in the First World War.

  • Here’s a Little Song I Wrote.

    The song “Don’t Worry Be Happy” by Bobby McFerrin always makes me smile, it carries a philosophy that only the lucky few can implement. What gave me the idea for todays poem though was a verse from another Bob Dylan song “Dirge” From his album “Planet Waves” SING A SONG OF FREEDOM. Sing your song… Read more

    ”You’ve thrown the worst fear that can ever be hurled, fear to bring children into the world, both rendering my baby unborn and unnamed, you ain’t worth the blood that runs in your veins”.
