I can visualise the Great Ship going down with your well chosen words! You describe the ship being the conclusion of art and design progress, symbol of a great developing modern culture of engineering and culture and style. It went down bravely...

Thanks Drew. It is great to be chosen, that must be a first for me! This one came together in the run up to Easter as I considered what this time of replenishment really means, or should mean. If it can help to encourage us to work together for a...

As I was reading I was expecting the worst as your threatening disaster occurred! I am glad you survived it, and that you actually managed to get your flu jabs! I thought you would get cancelled at the last minute. That was an exciting read, a...

A heartwarming story! Your kindness and care towards the cats is impressive and worthy. Kindness towards animals is, in my opinion, a sign of innate goodness, to be respected!

Its a good question! Why is everything made in China? (and what if they actually did one day invade Taiwan? Where would we get our good from then, particularly as we no longer make them ourselves?) We must be mad, (or very greedy?). I enjoyed...

I am interested to hear the continuation of your son's (real!) story! (which would actually make a great film or book, once a definite ending to the ongoing tale is reached!?) . You make a very interesting overview of the Russian Invasion story...

Posted on Mon, 05 Feb 2024
Great piece! You sum up feelings of being out of touch with the younger citizens, and their culture, as we age, and the changing politics of the times, and also of being disinterested in so much of the new culture. Also you have given a great...
