I’m now retired and living with my wife and Springer Spaniel in a village outside Cambridge U.K. I have dual U.K. and Australian citizenship, having lived in the latter and also travelled in Asia, in-between living in London for two years. I came back to the U.K. in 1993 as a Buddhist monk and was later involved in interfaith between Buddhist and Christian monasticism, which led to my returning to lay life. I now identify as a Christian – albeit with Buddhist influences!

I also enjoy cooking, walking (with wife and dog), and the joys of friendship. I have previously posted on UKAuthors. My verse tends toward rhyming, but as a beginner I’m always willing to improve my craft.

An original take - Iconoclastic Saint Lou, and wouldn't be a hoot if he was on duty at the pearly gates?

A nice one Rhiannon; and it reminded me of our attempts to grow carrots (why?) it must have been the stony ground because they always came out mishapen! Like spuds - just buy at the shop!

Posted on Tue, 21 May 2024
