The Vale - Part 1 (c)
I’ve grown used to our home, to the space, the cosy fug of central heating, clean white bathrooms, muted decor, nutritious food and luxuries. It...

This is like a time capsule
Posted on Tue, 14 Feb 2023
This is like a time capsule Jenny, crafting from words a picture which we can all see. Somehow our depiction of past times seems more innocent than today's world but I don't know if that's actually true or we were just more naive. The pubs were...

We certainly are blessed, Jenny. Sometimes I wonder why we go to such lengths to make our own entertainment when all thise is just outside, it's a shame many children don't have much access to nature and this world in luminosity.

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...

'gingered bracken' - I love
Posted on Thu, 21 Apr 2022

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...
