I am a Brummie living in Northampton. I love to write but get distracted with other things. I love horror/fantasy and anything that provokes original thought. My literary heroes are Clive Barker, Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft.
I think that everyone should read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four .

Posted on Wed, 02 Mar 2022
Every news story has bias of some kind. When does bias become propaganda? I watch the news and read the papers and, of course, western media demonise Russia. As ever, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. In the meantime, war has no...

Mother Ryan being "very" Irish - "I can hear the accent now. Another tale of weddings and funerals and an intriguing insight into those times. Interesting, as always, Jean. Paul :)

Ah that's a sad image of the homeless as they are particularly vulnerable in weather like this. You have woven in the harshness of storms with a grey, urban backdrop. Nicely done, Jenny. Paul

We all converted to the Beetles at some point. It's a fine city these days with the dockside area all redeveloped. That sounds strange returning from holiday to a different airport than anticipated. Enjoyed this. Paul
