  • 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

  • Plane to Happiness

    The Journey.     First place I would go, would be the Post Office, because I don’t have a passport anymore, you see I’ve been banned from most countries for smuggling in bad poetry.                                             … Read more

  • Domestic Travels

    Travel plans. Not done any Dylan for a while so,       “ He can be fascinating, he can be dull, he can ride down Niagara  Falls in the barrels of your scull, I can smell somethings cooking, I can tell there’s going to be a feast, sometimes Satan comes as a man of Peace” From Man… Read more

  • Toto’s

    What would I change in society? If I said nearly every thing that may be considered flippant, but in my opinion society is deteriorating at an exponential rate. Of course one cannot generalise, there are a lot of good socially responsible people, I know both of them! There is little respect for the elderly, manners… 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

  • Undoubtedly model making, then a close second writing this blog. Last year we had a general election here in the UK. I had loads of fun writing satyrical manifestos for each of the parties, then I did my own. Obviously it’s no longer topical, but hopefully it will give you laugh, and I need to… Read more

  • Playing Devils Advocate

    What bothers me most apart from death of course, is the a huge amount of people who aren’t bothered about anything much other than them selves. They’re not bothered about they’re neighbours, they’re not bothered about the litter they leave, they’re not bothered about the dog mess they don’t pick up, and of course these… Read more

  • I’m absolutely certain no one will want to read what I have just spent half a hour writing (For too deep) I have saved it though, if anyone is interested. So let’s have some of my usual drivel, here’s my answer to the prompt . 1, The English football team will never win Wimbledon. 2.… Read more

  • The Unlucky Man

    Another tough prompt. My life has been an adventure, but now I’m old and feeble (exaggeration) the adventures are not so big. I am famous for not having any sense of direction, I once went to the toilet in the cinema, ended up outside and had to beg to be let in again! So my… Read more
