  • I Make Shoes For Everyone.

    The quote I use most is obviously a Bob Dylan one, I use to think he was quoting something or someone else, it sounds biblical but that isn’t the case. Some the full quote is “I make shoes for everyone while I still go barefoot” Meaning I do things for others but little is done… Read more

  • My Favourite Holiday.

    I would have to say Billie Holiday, as you all know I am a Bob Dylan fan, but Billie Holiday singing “Strange Fruit” equals in power almost anything Dylan sang, even his song about Emmett Till.

  • The Grey Tout Doors.

    Camping has been our main source of holidays since my wife and I met, from our very first trip to Devon and Cornwall sleeping in the back of my Triumph Herald Estate car., through just about every other form of camping, tents, trailer tents, caravans, camper, to our present little motorhome.

  • Hands.

  • Talking About Football The Cat Was Talking Back

    TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL. the CAT WAS TALKING BACK. “I saw someone under my kitchen table, talking to an old tom cat, they were talking about football, the cat was talking back” A line from a Tom Paxton song “Wasn’t that a party ?” I guess that would be American football. It doesn’t matter to me,… Read more

  • In Love With a Flowery Sky and Daffodils.

    I have really struggled to find something funny to write about, I’ve lost my part time job, the world is on a state of flux etch, etch. Today’s isn’t too bad though, at least it’s not miserable. BEING BORN. I took a risk being born, but if I wasn’t here I regret itIf I hadn’t… Read more
