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?
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.
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...

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.

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...

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...
