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!
My interests lie in writing – prose and poetry, informed by my experience of life plus religion, history, and current affairs. 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.

Well, Jenny, you've done it, and my compliments. My problem is that I can't abide anything of the Pre-Raphaelite, all those insipid women ugh! A personal taste I know, but your take (and Luigi's) is the best with such a challenging topic.

The world turning, and orbiting the sun, while the galaxy hurtles along - and meanwhile how far is an hour in a car? Great idea Rhiannon.

'following flights with earthbound jealousy.' A perfect simile for our love of birdlife, which has that element of yearning.
