Maglic Moments

A piece of writing I did a good while back for the travel company, Exodus Travels. Neither the trip nor I were very glossy but they were very happy to include it in their glossy promotional literature. The Green Visions Travel Agency in Sarajevo used it too. And no, there isn’t a typo in the title.

Great stuff Paul! This is a really entertaining read though I had to keep reminding myself that it is a work of fiction.

Posted on Fri, 15 Apr 2022

If only the kings and queens and the richest men in the world would go away and leave the rest of us alone there wouldn't be so many crying mums. Unfortunately the kings and queens have big families and there are men with big fat piggy banks...

I get this!

For decades, possibly even a century or so, places like little shops and pubs hardly changed. I know that some change is necessary but it seems like in the last twenty years everything has changed and it can never change back....

I really enjoyed the way your words recreated in my mind the cold stillness of the cemetery. Even though you describe a place for the dead surrounded by lifeless objects, you seemed to bring it to life.

I particularly liked your line ......

'We shouldn't be so harsh on

Posted on Fri, 24 Dec 2021

'We shouldn't be so harsh on Boris Johnson. He's done such a lot to revive the Dickensian way of celebrating Christmas,' said Bob Cratchit's son, Tiny Tim. 

An excellent piece of writing Paul. Amusing from start to finish.

Aye, imagine being at Michael Bublé's house at Christmas. You'd need a lot of Advocaat to survive that.

I read news like this almost every day. It's sickening that an uncaring world can push people to the point where they have to risk their lives in this way. How bad must the life be that they are trying to escape from for them to accept that...

A nice bit of secrecy.

Posted on Tue, 12 Oct 2021

I really enjoyed your poem Rhiannon. It hadn't crossed my mind that adults speaking in code in front of their kids was a form of keeping things secret. I remember it being a struggle with my kids, and then an even bigger struggle when they...
