Hi Turlough,

Posted on Tue, 08 Jul 2025

Hi Turlough,

I do envy you with your fireflies, what an amazing sight to behold, it must feel like being in fairyland sat in your garden.

It's funny you should mention the 149th anniversary of Hristo Botev, marked across Bulgaria...

I will never understand how

Posted on Mon, 07 Jul 2025

I will never understand how the selfish, cruel attacks and barbaric way some humans treat others,  can be allowed to happen. It's such a savage and wicked waste of life.

We live on this beautiful planet earth, and should feel so lucky to...

Jamie has so many thoughts

Posted on Fri, 04 Jul 2025

Jamie has so many thoughts running around in his head, I think it's such a real human condition, that gives us time to process and guide us through life.

I loved his interaction with his son Fox, such an adorable story about jam. My son's...

I love the mystery of those

Posted on Tue, 01 Jul 2025

I love the mystery of those blackbirds, crows and rooks, especially when they're perched on Billy's arms. It feels like there's a time lapse, but for the guy in the Liverpool football shirt shocked at the strange sight.

Looking forward to...

Posted on Wed, 02 Jul 2025

You've written a sensitive poem Turlough, with honest compassion for those going through appalling, aggressive suffering.

I can only echo many others oppositions to such atrocities.

Posted on Fri, 27 Jun 2025

I'm so sorry to hear of the pain you are feeling Jane.  Losing a pet is devastating, especially when they've been such a big part of your family.

Your poem brings home the grief that you're feeling. I hope with time you will be able to...

Hi Turlough,

Hi Turlough,

As I'm reading I'm seeing an element of myself in your story. I had the chance to stay on at school and go to art college, but decided in the end money was more important. It would be good to think I had another self, who actually did go to...

Hi David, there's no way I would go to Glastonbury festival now, far too busy there for me at my age, and as for camping now...well I can't think of anything worse. 

You were lucky to go there in 1987, it's more than I've achieved in my...
