When I worked with elderly

Posted on Mon, 18 Apr 2022

When I worked with elderly people I often used to think I could tell as much about a person's life from their hands as I could from their face. Hands that when touched for a second or two would make an old face light up in an act that might be...

Doing nothing makes it easier

Posted on Tue, 22 Mar 2022

Doing nothing makes it easier for the aggressor. Sending weapons will prolong the war and cause more death. And what we are watching is not the only war, it's just the most newsworthy one for the time being.

How can the world ever get out...

Our lives are never as

Posted on Tue, 05 Apr 2022

Our lives are never as straightforward as we might wish them to be but they would not be as interesting and colourful if they were. We all need our prism to help us appreciate the wonders that surround us.

An excellent poem, I enjoyed it...

Does blackbird care?

Posted on Thu, 14 Apr 2022

Does blackbird care?

I strongly suspect that the answer is no. All the birds are too busy at this time of year to think about what's going on in the world. I can't imagine that they spend as much time watching us as I do watching...

Hello Rhiannon.

Posted on Fri, 15 Apr 2022

Hello Rhiannon.

I'm just back from a couple of weeks in England so I saw a lot of my two grandchildren. It was brilliant. I try to communicate with them via skype but nothing beats real life for picking up their characteristics and...

Your lovely words brought out

Posted on Sun, 27 Feb 2022

Your lovely words brought out the empathy in me. I struggle on with my travelling though I'll never manage the great treks and cycle rides that took me all over the place as recently as ten years ago. Wanderlust these days, I find, is not...

Beautiful words Rhiannon. I

Posted on Tue, 15 Mar 2022

Beautiful words Rhiannon. I love this.

We heralded our spring a while back but since that moment of heralding we've had a fortnight of snow. Ah well, we'll just have to herald it again when it's made it's vernal mind up.

That's awful. 

Posted on Wed, 16 Mar 2022

That's awful. 

Long ago in England (Gillingham to be precise), we lived near a church. Sunday mornings were absolute mayhem with people parking cars in our narrow and normally peaceful little street, slamming doors and shouting greetings...

Good words about a terrible

Good words about a terrible situation Paul.

I hope we see brick walls daubed in belief again soon.

I was interested to read about your son. I hope he keeps safe and well. Not all Russians are mad war-mongering dictators.

Good...

In Bulgaria where I live,

Posted on Wed, 16 Mar 2022

In Bulgaria where I live, taking off your shoes to enter someone's house is a centuries old tradition. It causes great offence if we don't take them off. The host will usually have a supply of knitted woollen slipper / sock type things to offer...
