  • Nightmare avenue

    I’m not naive enough to think I could spin the world on its axis, and allow people to live as they should, in peace, and at peace with the natural world (See How I avoided a cliche there!) But, I would like to be a part of the machine that makes it happen, that is Read more

  • Abolition Of Greed.

    Ok then this is the big one. I’ve been waiting for this prompt to come round. This is a short story I wrote, at the time the Conservative Party were last in power here in the UK, and were trying to claw back money lost in the pandemic. It was the budget and I watched Read more

  • I’m Pensioner I don’t do expensive.

    I’m a pensioner I don’t do expensive! Ok so I’ve had a bit of fun with this, with not much time to do it in. Been to hospital, came back home a bit low, so a bit of self therapy was called for. Actually finances are not quite as bad as I make out we Read more

  • I Can Write, But Can I Count?

    30 !!!! thing that make me happy? Mm My son, the sun, a smile from anyone, anyone’s love, the sky up above. My lady, a new baby, a better tomorrow well maybe. Fresh rain, no pain, a walk down memory lane. A smile from my wife, green shoots of life, a sign of the end Read more

    I haven’t to told this story to many, especially the man concerned, and he doesn’t do internet, so he will never know. It’s a couple of years back now, and this chap came to me needing help, he was trying to help a single parent who’s little boy was hyper active, and had broken the Read more

  • What Do I Look Like?

    If you only care what I look like, then I’m not going to say. If you don’t care what I look like, it doesn’t matter any way. You don’t have to have vision, to see what’s contained herein, just show trust and love, and I will let you in. None of my friends are my Read more

  • Shopping.

    Shopping was a weekly ritual for my mum, not like shopping as we know it now, at least here in the UK. I help out a friend at our local DIY (Hardware) shop, so many customers comment on how nice it is to come into a “Proper” shop, have a chat, share a joke or Read more

  • I Am A Realist.

    I used to be uncertain, but now I am not so sure! How would I describe Myself? This is not a good day to ask me that question. The black dog, is once again at my heals, it got over the fence my mind had created to protect me from my burn injuries. So I Read more
