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.

Lady Danube
A photograph of a green wooden hut beside a river. But the river is none other than the River Danube (known locally as the Dunav / Дунав) taken on my phone a few days ago from near the town of Svishtov in Bulgaria, approximately 80 kms from where I live. I love watching rivers flow by but the might of the Danube (the second longest in Europe, after the Don) is extraordinary. Its beauty and the folklore and mythology that accompany it compelled me to write this poem.

Poking James MacGuigan’s Pig
There have been many doors in my life, some real and some metaphorical, but on a quiet little farm in one of Ireland's beautiful Glens of Antrim, one in particular stood out and the memory of it will stay with me forever.

Too BIG
Posted on Thu, 15 Aug 2024
You've really captured the attitude of all those small people with BIG cars who are collectively a BIG irritation, a BIG nuisance on the roads and a BIG factor when considering damage to the environment.
The BIG question is why do they...

Bobby's Golden Cherries
Posted on Thu, 15 Aug 2024
Ah. that's great news. I'm delighted. Thanks very much Ewan.
It's taken a while but the pound note that I gave to Bobby has turned out to be a good investment.

Bobby's brother
Posted on Thu, 15 Aug 2024
Many many thanks for that Jenny.
But we mustn't forget that Bobby's brother John was quite entertaining too.

That's entertainment!
Posted on Thu, 15 Aug 2024
If I worked for Leeds City Council I'd have set Bobby on as a performer of alternative street theatre. I met him several times and he was always very entertaining, though he didn't know it.

The Elves
Posted on Mon, 12 Aug 2024
I can never resist the tales of the raggle taggle gypsies or the faerie folk. Helplessly I'm drawn in by your words.
Great writing Jenny, as ever.

Oh Paul, I was just about to book a flight to England to visit my kiddies and their kiddies but your skilled description of a dsytopian state has alerted dormant brain cells and saved me the £150 that Easyjet were asking for.
Apparently...

It wasn't all grim
Posted on Sat, 27 Jul 2024
It wasn't all grim Di. I'm glad I did it but I'm also glad that I stopped when I did. Though in hindsight it was much harder readjusting to a life back on land than it had been to adjusting to a life on the ocean wave in the first place. I've got...

A message from Priyatelkata to Alfred
Posted on Fri, 02 Aug 2024
Priyatelkata (my partner) is French and, like her compatriots, she doesn't do things by halves. Our breakfasts at home to launch a day can be as impressive as an Olympic Games opening ceremony but without the dancers in their ridiculous costumes...
