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.

A nice one Rhiannon; and it reminded me of our attempts to grow carrots (why?) it must have been the stony ground because they always came out mishapen! Like spuds - just buy at the shop!

What a briliant take on old nursey rhymes; and there us no end to books - especially the badly written ones. My pet hate is when 'celebrities' get paid huge advances to 'write' (ghostly) some piece of crud, while the talented can't find a...

Well, Jenny, you've done it, and my compliments. My problem is that I can't abide anything of the Pre-Raphaelite, all those insipid women ugh! A personal taste I know, but your take (and Luigi's) is the best with such a challenging topic.

The world turning, and orbiting the sun, while the galaxy hurtles along - and meanwhile how far is an hour in a car? Great idea Rhiannon.

'following flights with earthbound jealousy.' A perfect simile for our love of birdlife, which has that element of yearning.
