Son of My Father
What's this one about? Fathers and sons, old age, what awaits us all... and loads of other things, you decide. Image in PD, source Look and Learn.com, Odysseus and the sirens.

A Place in the Sun
This is an old poem, 11 years old, in fact. I had been in Spain for 8 years at the time I wrote it. Nothing lasts forever and I think I knew it even then. Anyway, not much of interest here. Image Wikipedia commons.

was undergoing her treatment for a different kind of cancer, the chemo gave her what amounted to IBS. We had just returned to the UK from 15 years abroad in Spain. Throughout 2018 and some of 2019 we had many a panicked and fruitless search for a...

I did enjoy the the silence, once it started being filled by wildlife. At the depth of the lock-down a deer was running down Jepson Road - usually a very busy thoroughfare. I hate the noise those buses make really, but when I was young, you might...
