The Beautiful Game
This is a letter to Benjamin Netanyahu. It's about a real issue which is happening right now. I know that there are many terrible things that have happened, and are happening, in Gaza and the West Bank, and a children's football pitch may seem such a minor thing. But it really touched a nerve with me. I feel powerless to do anything about it, but at least I can cry into the void with my letter.

How wonderful that you can turn negative experiences into positive beautiful poetry, Jenny.
Visualisation is a powerful healing tool, and as a gifted poet your visualisation has always been strong.
We are all thinking of you ...

Thanks Jenny. Great to see

Thanks Jenny. Great to see you are well enough to post again. There is a little good news. Since the donkey episode Ed Milliband has declared sanctions on any firm involved in the illegal West Bank developments. It's a small step but more than...

Who am I really
Posted on Fri, 11 Sep 2026
This is so good Lilli. On the one hand it is hilariously funny, reminds me of Life of Brian and 'The People's Front of Judea', 'The Judean People's Popular Front' etc with all the variations, and 'Romani Ite Domum !'

What's in a name
Posted on Mon, 07 Sep 2026
It seems to me that the Asian car makers have never really got the model names right for the European market.. Or the colours.
When I worked for Mitsubishi there was a model called a Shogun - good name for a seriously roughtie-toughtie...

Lake Katharine

Seems like anyone can do what they like, so I'm going in for a spot of lake re-naming. I live in the Cotswold Water Park in...

Rescuing books and cats
Posted on Mon, 31 Aug 2026
I rescue old hardback books from the charity shop. Very often they have an inscription written inside - I guess a hardback book would have been an expensive item and not something a person would have bought for themselves. I love reading the...

I know exactly how you feel

I know exactly how you feel Turlough because the same thing has happened to me. They have squandered the huge wellspring of sympathy which every decent person felt for them post the second world war.
