I shaved my head again today. I shave it every couple of months to disguise the fact that I’m going bald.
My stories
Tan Remembered Toes
Paddling in the River Dun, we’d laugh hysterically as the peaty waters made our white Antrim feet appear a shade of tan.

Monster
Posted on Mon, 23 Mar 2026
Hello Luigi.
I’m excited to find out what happens next in the sleepy little town. It’s a place of great mystery and intrigue. The story’s advertised as a ten-parter but that’s what they said about Coronation Street in 1960. Have we ABC...

This is such an honour.

Posted on Sat, 14 Mar 2026

The B52s
Posted on Sat, 07 Mar 2026
My kids and I were out in the car one day that must have been in 1999 and we went past Fairford. On the runway there were about a dozen B52 bombers revving up their engines in readiness for taking off to bomb Belgrade (they have a new target...

Chippenham
Posted on Sat, 07 Mar 2026
We were living in Chippenham, a place where these things happen. We still talk about the noises made by the little girl who lived in our house when it had been a mill.
