Life is for the Go Getters

By Jane Hyphen on Wed, 16 Nov 2022

Life is for the go getters. Pause and watch, open-mouthed as they gulp the here and now. Observe through a long lens, how they stuff themselves, like...

They've Closed the Road

By Jane Hyphen on Mon, 07 Nov 2022

Have you heard, they’ve closed the road. Black ice reflections deep, like a mirror from the archives. We don’t want to see ourselves like that. There...

A Real Doctor

By Jane Hyphen on Sun, 02 Oct 2022

‘Oh, give over, you’re not even a real doctor!’ Dr Oetker was in a very dark place and had been for a number of days. The sale of sprinkles had...

The Wanderer

By Jane Hyphen on Thu, 22 Sep 2022

Fog smothers your guiding lights. There’s a stirring sting of danger as you fly towards disordered planets. Dragging nothing, save the sparks of what...

It's the year. . .

By Jane Hyphen on Tue, 20 Sep 2022

Posted on Mon, 14 Mar 2022

Thank you Insert. I find the weekly IP a good inspiration. We are fascinated and frightened by the idea that aliens might invade and destroy Earth but are we just talking about ourselves?

I really enjoyed reading this

Posted on Wed, 26 Sep 2018

I really enjoyed reading this, it brought to life a typical suprmarket shift complete with misery and the type of characters which seem to crop up in most workplaces. It recall my own stint in 'provisions', I got a verbal warning for failing to...

A beautiful little tree holds

Posted on Sat, 16 Jul 2022

A beautiful little tree holds so much promise for the future as long as we respect it. I often think of what those great old oak trees have witnessed in their lifetimes. We could really do with some rumbles of thunder and a good soaking but the...

This is like a short holiday

Posted on Thu, 30 Jun 2022

This is like a short holiday and just what I needed to read today. I'm glad you didn't cut it short. I could feel the heat from the sandstone and imagine the long grasses clinging. 'No time for regrets'. This is one to revisit.

Posted on Mon, 09 May 2022

'gingered bracken' - I love

Posted on Thu, 21 Apr 2022

'gingered bracken' - I love this description and the photographs are beautiful. The way you've included a glider, it adds another dimension and forces you to imagine the view from above as well as at ground level. The whole thing is very...

Posted on Mon, 28 Mar 2022

I can imagine how all those soft colours blend together beneath the spring sunshine. It's lovely to see the sheep and lambs in Wales but I can't help wondering if they will become a rarer sight with changing consumer habits and increasing...

The earth is just about

Posted on Mon, 14 Mar 2022

The earth is just about perfect except for the bits where human behaviour, often driven by big business have reduced it to a polluted wasteland. I agree that we all have a hole, maybe it is God-shaped, I don't know but there is great contentment...
