Storms stir up all sorts of emotions Jenny and I love the way your words have shown how you can make the most of them. I used to love them. Each with their own individual characteristics and always exciting to watch. I'm sorry to bang on about...

Crackers!
Posted on Wed, 04 Dec 2024
With your festive words I think you've covered all the features of a classic Christmas, Paul.
Except for a Boxing Day football match, perhaps!
Very well done. It's a Christmas cracker!

Those words 'new lease of life' are music to my ears. I'm delighted for you Jenny.
I'm also delighted that you and your neighbours didn't give in to the developers. I remember when I first found out about the existence of land banks, where...

More Johns

Nice one Jenny!
Your first two paragraphs could be about me, apart from the 'offered a substantial amount of money' bit.

Revision
Posted on Sun, 01 Dec 2024
Oh, Dougie. Whenever I try to read any of my old bits of writing I end up just poking holes in them and telling myself that these days I could do a much better job. I've looked at some of the writing that I did before I joined ABC with the idea...

Fog horn fever

Thanks very much Di. I'll be grand. Worse things have happened at sea... which is what I used to say when I was at sea... which is probably why I wasn't at sea very long.
There's nothing more mournful than a fog horn. I lived in Barry in...

The Cartographer's Tale

Maps are like rainbows. They never truly end, even though we think they do. Wander off the edge of the map and you never know what adventure you'll find... maybe even a crock of gold.
Lovely words Paul. They make me want to go to a distant...

Well done dear Jenny!

You were very brave to go through with it,...
