Elaine and I barely spoke to each other but memories of this gruff, no-nonsense woman have stayed with me for fifty years.

Crazy world

Posted on Fri, 14 Nov 2025

Thanks very much Jenny. Your comments are always very interesting and, as I've said before, I'd love it if you wrote more about your younger days. 

Baker Street was a brilliant track but Gerry Rafferty's Get It Right Next Time is...

PLFC... Plovdiv Lokomotiv Football Club

Plovdiv's a beautiful ancient city. It must be a wonderful place to live.

Fleetwood Mac

Posted on Mon, 10 Nov 2025

When I lived in Chippenham I used to regularly go with my kids to watch Bath City FC playing football at their ground in the Twerton district of the city. 

During those matches I talked to and befriended many of the natives, one of which...

Cheese

Posted on Tue, 11 Nov 2025

I was led to believe that it was something to do with a shortage of parmesan cheese over there and it stood for Make America Grate Again.

But we do need more accordions, and harmonicas.

Old Scotsmen

Posted on Tue, 11 Nov 2025

I've never met the Old Man of Storr (your description of him suggests he's quite a character) but I have met the Old Man of Hoy who seems like a similar sort of old man. They must get together to discuss which Scottish island they're going to...

Brutal

Posted on Thu, 30 Oct 2025

The Celtic cross was an incredible piece of sculpting but I struggled to enjoy it because it was a memorial to a landowner (the Earl of Leitrim) who was an altogether unpleasant man though not as bad as his father who was assassinated by locals...

Roots

Posted on Tue, 21 Oct 2025

I've moved around a lot in my life Jenny, so I've never been sure where home was. Family members had always told me that Ireland was home and when I go there it feels like that's true, so that's a big part of the reason I get the lumps. But...
