Down the years I have lived in many places and I have done many jobs. Now I live in Bulgaria and the only work I do is tending to my lovely garden when the sun is shining and scribbling away in my big book of writing stuff when it is not.
I may have left it too late in life to become a famous writer or celebrated gardener but I will persevere anyway. These are the things that occupy me in a seemingly effortless and satisfying way.

This is an excellent piece of writing. Reading it made me think but it did nothing to cheer me.
I've done my best. I recycle and compost everything I can, my car has a small engine, I rarely eat animals and I spent years cycling to work...

The way things are going, I suspect heads will roll. I hope it's not Mrs Muggins that faces the chop. She sounds like a nice lady who has got roped into this time travel just to accompany her husband as he follows his whims. Surely she'd be...

I like the way that you remind us that December comes as more of a shock than November does. November is just the dark end of autumn with all the mystery and dreaminess that you describe so well, lulling us into a place of comfort before December...

Hello Jenny.
I particularly liked your words:

It's sad to know that your family has needed to use care homes but I'm pleased to hear that you have some good positive things to say about them. There are a few terrible places which get in the news and it leads to the good ones being tarred...

Long long ago when I was a working man, many of my clients were care home residents, usually suffering from dementia. Some seemed happy and many more seemed quite unhappy but whatever the case their families (if they bothered to visit them at all...

Hello Rhiannon.
I've sometimes been told by those who knew my Grandad better that even if I had asked the questions I probably wouldn't have got answers. Apparently he would never talk about his time in France during World War One. He went...

You might know some other places from my past, the York chapter of which revolves around Heworth. My grandparents lived in Dodsworth Avenue, just the other side of Heworth Green from the Shoulder of Mutton, which I have just discovered is now...

Hello Paul.
We were never allowed to eat Cadbury's chocolate. We were told we'd be selling our souls to the devil if we did. However, everyone's a fruit and nutcase!
Childhood memories are precious and I love it when snippets of...
