Yes they were good times (mostly) in Las Palmas. Not the prettiest city but a great place all the same (cockroaches and all). the island of Grand Canaria is very interesting, However, after the move to Lanzarote and visiting some of the other...

You do Vultures proud with this brilliant poem, Rachel

Posted on Fri, 31 Jul 2020

They are magnificent birds and they provide a real service for all animals on Earth including us. We revile them for seaching out and eating dead and rotting flesh, but forget the amount of diseases they prevent by cleaning discarded carcasses....

Very clever poem Ewan

Posted on Mon, 08 Jun 2020

It is surprising and comforting in the way nature so quickly re-takes it's space. Reading this reminded me of the time not so long ago when Eyjafjallajökull erupted and we had aircraft free skies for a few days. I recall sitting in the garden and...

That's a stretch :)

But that's not going to happen 

I could read the works of dozens of philosophers, sociologists and activists and still I would never understand this brutal barbaric behavior.

All the while a country has a flawed constitution that...
