Beige Goo Splat (part 1)
My room was nothing fancy but easily large enough for my double bed, desk and other stuff. It had a high ceiling and a big view down over the town...

The Tiny Easter Teddy
Easter, even the word itself sounds full, round around the edges, pregnant with the promise of things to come. Falling in spring, within the swell...

The Vale - Chapter 7
Standing at the edge of the balcony, leaning over, I caught sight of the green Mini turning into the parking area. It was the one I'd see before,...

The Vale - Chapter 6
‘What?’ I laughed nervously, then shrugged and said, ‘I don’t have anything like that.’ Adam shook his head. ‘Of course we don’t need a pass, we’re...

The Vale - Chapter 5
It was so much colder back then, nothing like the soft, Southern air which I find myself gliding through so easily these days. I remember frequent...

It has felt like a dark,
Posted on Thu, 22 Jan 2026
It has felt like a dark, dreary month so far and I'm not usually affected by the winter blues but this month I have struggled. The squelchy decay underfoot has put me off walking but I work outside so fresh air is mandatory. Aren't we lucky to...

This is beautiful, Penny. You
Posted on Sun, 25 Jan 2026
This is beautiful, Penny. You capture the optimism of a new day, even if nothing to speak of happens, the colours of the sky, the buzz of animals are full of promise. The day's canvas, an opportunity to create something.

Just looking at that bottle
Posted on Tue, 20 Jan 2026
Just looking at that bottle was just like a little holiday, surely. It's strange how certain products just sit in a house for decades. I remember when mother in law made her own jelly with gelatin dated 1989 and I was convinced our children would...

Thank you so much for this

Thank you so much for this little pick-me-up, even if it does bring everyone else down..

Thank you, Turlough. A rural Balkan hideaway, you're in one of the best places I hope. I've gone semi-rural but the constant drip is deafening. Lunatics and a whole lot of dirty greed; all it takes is the rest to roll over like little dogs. If...

I suppose it's about feelings
Posted on Wed, 14 Jan 2026
I suppose it's about feelings rather than facts. A darkness in the air but still some humour. I don't know what I'm hoping for in the end but hopefully it's not a boring sandwich.

Laycock, it's unmistakable, never changes except for more people perhaps.
Isn't it strange how some memories are branded in time, either by a photograph or your own inner files. And some people live in your memory more fully, later on in...

There is something sad about
Posted on Wed, 07 Jan 2026
There is something sad about losing your country's currency and having the generic Euro. It was exciting having foreign currency in your hand, making little exchange calculations on your fingers as you browsed the shops and restaurants. All coins...

Posted on Fri, 02 Jan 2026
They do, celticman. There is something different about them, they can heal a broken bone themselves, I think they're the only mammal that can do this. And they cope with inbreeding better than other mammals, aristocrats, East Anglians, royals etc...

A one way ticket to Holyhead
Posted on Sat, 03 Jan 2026
A one way ticket to Holyhead or maybe Hollywood. When I was a child, I was baffled as to why we lived in Birmingham and not Harlech, the location of our annual holidays.
I suppose a girl like Bron feels that her destiny is somewhere with...
