I’m now retired and living with my wife and Springer Spaniel in a village outside Cambridge U.K. I have dual U.K. and Australian citizenship, having lived in the latter and also travelled in Asia, in-between living in London for two years. I came back to the U.K. in 1993 as a Buddhist monk and was later involved in interfaith between Buddhist and Christian monasticism, which led to my returning to lay life. I now identify as a Christian – albeit with Buddhist influences!
My interests lie in writing – prose and poetry, informed by my experience of life plus religion, history, and current affairs. I also enjoy cooking, walking (with wife and dog), and the joys of friendship. I have previously posted on UKAuthors. My verse tends toward rhyming, but as a beginner I’m always willing to improve my craft.

You've captured the dichotomy of climate so well Jenny, as we are now in (in the UK) that weird season when we are either too hot or too cold. I went away earlier and didn't take enough cold weather gear, and I've just got back from another trip...

"and I would admire this toiled beauty"
A lovely poem Jennifer, the way you take the reader into this scene with such language; a poem needing repeat readings aloud. And congrats on the well deserved awards.

I too recall Ladybower; we visited there on a school trip when we still lived in the UK. And a good poem Rhiannon, the cost of our 'thirst' for more and more water - much of which is wasted.

Christenings, marriages, then funerals, it is all there in the words, as you say a strange day yesterday.

Thanks Rhiannon . A lovely short poem that gives the essence of the wild flowers. And is it true that we can eat wild garlic?

Posted on Tue, 25 Feb 2025
Spot On Rhiannon! We are passed every morning by a straggle of commuters heading for the guided bus stop; either with ear phones in or looking at their phones. Then out of the village walking our dog we get passed by joggers with ear phones in;...

It works well for me, In the use of language, as there is an evocation of winter in abeyance with Spring not yet upon us, hence the desire for hibernation.
