  • Although I hate online shopping, it does have its uses, especially now high street shops are disappearing, forced out by online shopping of course.

  • A proper Shop.

    My favourite Time of day is early morning, It’s like the night has washed all the dirt off the day before and we can start anew. By 6.45 I hope to be in our own little bit of countryside which is the park and woodland behind our house, It’s a different world. I can switch… Read more

  • Recipe For Life.

    When I received the news I was free of cancer, I was in turmoil, part pre cancer part post cancer. I remember saying to my wife “I’m going on a journey, will you come with me?” I didn’t realise then exactly what that meant, all I knew, I had to leave behind the Keith that… Read more

Before I go ahead with my list I would like to ask a question of all my readers. Many years ago as an apprentice decorative plasterer, I was working away… Read more

  • Another unspecific question ! I love the universe I live in, I love the planet I live on, I love England my place of birth. Usually when people ask me where I live my trite answer is “here” because I am alive in that place, at that particular time, and most of the time I… Read more

  • Love, Love, Love.

    I am guessing I have gone for the most popular answer, love ! However, I do not mean love for any one person, although it does include that. I mean love as a concept love for people, love for animals, love for plants, love for the earth, love for the universe. Love is part of… Read more

  • The first thing one thinks about when the word goal is mentioned is lots of football fans jumping up and down cheering. This kind of goal is just a fleeting moment in time. My goal is to touch people with my poetry and comic verse. I have done it in isolated occasion’s, made one or… Read more
