You have summed up the new

Posted on Fri, 07 Mar 2025

I have been in one or two

Posted on Fri, 08 Mar 2024

I have been in one or two pubs in York in my time, but thankfully never came upon a ghost, although there is so much history to the place that I would not be entirely surprised if I did meet one. Maybe the secret is never to be alone in York, and...

And PS; Keir Don't bother

Posted on Sun, 19 Jan 2025

And PS; Keir Don't bother making any deals with Trump. Such a deal would be bound not to be to Britain's advantage, so don't waste much time talking to him! You have got more important things to do!

A great poem! I did enjoy

Posted on Sun, 15 Dec 2024

A great poem! I did enjoy reading it, although it seemed to repeat many of its thoughts, but with no loss of creativity, and it kept me reading to the end. A sad poem about today's world, and our inability to turn it from its destruction and...
