Old Father Thames
Posted on Tue, 10 Feb 2026
There is a tributary of the Thames, called the Isis, which goes through my village. One of the very old stone houses in the High Road had a dead tree right next to the river. They got someone to come and carve it into a repesentation of Old...

That's lovely Jenny, there's something magical about coming across the repesentation of a creature in such an unexpected place. You've captured the atmosphere perfectly.
There's a walk I do regularly on the north side of Cirencester where...

I have been wondering how I can get my dad's recollections into...

Really cheered me up as always, Turlough. I too remember learning to write with scratchy school pens and ink in leaky inkwells that sat in a hole in the top right hand corner of your desk. (Inconvenient if you were left handed, but then if you...

My father's stories too ! From when he did his National Service in the RAF just after the end of the war. I've written them all down because I don't want them to get lost. A whole load of working class teenage boys who had never been away from...
