I don't think I would be too
Posted on Tue, 24 Jun 2025
I don't think I would be too keen to go now either! All that standing up is too much! But its great to hear and see great music performed. Actually, because I had seen some reports of crowds, I was thinking it happened last weekend, but actually...

It must have been meant to be! But you are right, it was a slim chance really and turned out to be good for both of you. Just think of the good conversations we must miss every day!

I enjoyed your poem about the Glastonbury festival. Have you actually been to it this year? or have you been watching on TV or You Tube?

Posted on Tue, 28 Jan 2025
It is so sad that the Nazi's holocaust has led to a not the same but partly similar, in its disregard for 'the enemies' lives'. You would have thought that a greater sense of justice would have been the result, but instead we have tribalism among...
