  • The House of Stainless Steel

    My little verse today inspired from a Bob Dylan song, “Don’t Fall Apart on me tonight” from the album Infidels. I ain’t too good at conversation, girl, so you might not know exactly how I feel but if I could, l’d bring you to the mountaintop, girl and build you a house made out of Read more

  • A Trick Answer.

    People who read my posts will know my favourite artist is Bob Dylan. Well people who read my posts are wrong, It’s actually Tom Paxton. There’s no arguing Dylan’s words in my mind cannot be surpassed, but I was asked my for my favourite artist not their work. It comes across a little in the Read more

  • You Can’t Take Away My Dignity.

    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

  • Bad Habit Two.

    This is an easy one, It’s now !

The nature of the violation of Read more

  • Sticking Plasteres.

    I guess, I’m going to have to pay more attention to security, although I consider it pretty good as it is. We came home from holiday yesterday to find our house broken into for the fourth time !

  • Hide and Seek.

    We’ve been away for a whole, month in the beautiful English countryside, walking through woodland, alongside rivers and beside the sea. We visited little villages where we did our shopping. We haven’t missed city life at all, but we have missed our games of hide and seek. Hide and seek. Today it’s over here, yesterday Read more

  • Eaten into Extinction.

    We are taking an extended holiday this year. Starting in the New Forest Hampshire, then along the south coast of England, we’re now in Lyme Regis, and I thought I’d celebrate with a burger. Evolution. I think I’ve made an amazing discovery. Whilst visiting Lyme Regis on the so called jurassic coast of England. I Read more

  • When Will We Ever Learn

    I’m posting this blog whilst on holiday, a well earned break, after being debilitated by my burn injuries. We are on a campsite with internet near Lyme Regis Dorset, after two weeks in the new forest without. Technology and greed did manage to spoil a few days for us, The broadband company we had just Read more

  • Shirley Combes, and the Kings Crackers.

    I started doing my blog, because I needed a distraction. I’m a practical guy DIY, model builder etc, but back in March I suffered serious burns to my hands and my right arm, I couldn’t use my hands properly and I would have gone insane without something to occupy my mind. I’ve always written a Read more
