  • A Tribute To John Lennon.

    You know I often twist things around to fit the prompt, but a post I had on the other day (Clean the World 30/12/25/ ) would have been an exact match for today’s prompt. So, first there was that fantastic cleaning product, then the truth pill now the pill that lets people see the truth. Read more

  • Down the Highway.

    If I had a freeway billboard, I’d panic, I’d have materialised in the USA, we have motorways where I live. We don’t really have billboards in the UK either just the odd decrepit caravan or trailer advertising some obscure product or service littering up a field. Maybe that decrepit vehicle may have “Just Stop Oil” Read more

  • Too Many Toys.

    My biggest Challenges at the moment are the six we have in our back garden. I freed them from a group of so called men playing soldiers, so they couldn’t hurt anyone. One is now a very cosy badger set, one is a foxes den, the others have itinerant squirrels. If anyone knows how I Read more

  • Poet in a Tree.

    Im going off piste now, the prompts haven’t been prompting me much lately, too boring. Usually when I do this I get little interest, so here goes. The eagle eyed will recognise the resemblance to a Bob Dylan line “As I went out one morning to breath the air around Tom Paine” The track “As Read more

  • Sing Me a Song.

    This is a subject that fascinates me. My theory is I was lucky, I was born in the mid 50s, so I grew up in the 60s and 70s. It is possible that I was protected from it but I don’t remember the all pervading aggression and violence that dominates the media now. It’s everywhere, 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

  • What’s in a name and The Seat of Doom

    ”My name it means nothing, my age it means less, the country I come from is called the Mid West, I was born and brought up there the rules to abide, and that the land that I live in has God on its side” From the song “With God on Our Side” By Bob Dylan, Read more

  • Bard from the Shop.

    Rambling warning!!! There are now very few shops that cater for my hobby of building model cars, but to open such a shop would be tantamount to suicide, there just isn’t enough demand, most people now are not not interested in practical skills, it’s all instant gratification, and virtual reality, so no it wouldn’t be Read more

  • The Cost of Perfection.

    Silence is Golden. Silence is golden, it allows my eyes to see, my hands to work and my soul to be. Meditation in art, to be in that place, where just one millimetre is a massive space. The whole world in the stroke of a file, hours slip by in such a short while. The Read more

  • The Tea Party (Not in Boston)

    I remember a while ago, well two whiles ago actually, because I heard it twice. A play on the radio, where a group of people including Bob Dylan’s manager were sat around a table in a restaurant. There was an empty seat and conjecture spread as to who was going to fill that empty seat. Read more
