Posted on Wed, 26 Jan 2022
I think the lock down has given many a new perspective on life. It's like we've entered a new era of living. It's good that you've kept a record of lockdown, it makes for a part of our history that one day others will beable to read about....

Hi Jean,

I have to say that I echo everything Paul has said, and couldn't have put it better myself. There was so much detail in the Dream Of Gerontius, I can understand why it was so popular. Also to have created so many poems while on his Mediterranean...

Hi there Hades.
Posted on Wed, 26 Jan 2022

Posted on Tue, 25 Jan 2022

Hi Jane,
at first I thought the photo was a shower head, but the more I look, it seems to resemble some kind of UFO. I loved the story, always appreciate reading the strangeness of these happenings, especially as I've always been a...
