Benches & Hedges

If you turn off your mind, relax and float downstream you might just find there’s a lot more than botany to discover in a garden, especially in Leeds.

When I worked in an office near Bristol Bridge I would often go to the Llandoger Trow. It was a brilliant old pub with some great literary connections. Apparently it inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write about the Admiral Benbow Inn in ...

The poor and needy

Posted on Thu, 22 May 2025

Posted on Mon, 19 May 2025

Oooh Jenny, you've written loads of instalments and I'm only starting to read them now. Apologies for that. However, if they're all as well written as this one it'll take me no time at all to catch up.

I used to treasure the words of my dear old Nan from Sunderland but I could never agree with her 'Cast ne'er a clout 'til May is out' proverb.

I enjoyed this Jenny. I always enjoy the way you relive your memories through poetry.

This one could be retitled Five Meet the Beach Boys, by Enid Blyton.
