Posted on Thu, 30 Dec 2021

I would much rather put my phone in the drawer for a final time and instead carry a camera, read a map, wear a watch, listen to vinyl albums on a turntable, etc. but sadly these big global telecommunications companies have got us by the Nureyevs...

Posted on Wed, 29 Dec 2021

I have to be thankful for the standard of my dear old ma's cooking because it was she who inspired me to learn to cook myself. I would have died of starvation if I hadn't.

Lovely words to describe such a majestic and beautiful creature. I could watch gulls for hours ... except for when they're trying to steal my kids' chips.

I enjoyed this Rhiannon. I like the structure and rhyme of your poem as well as the amount of thought you have put into what food might be available and how it is prepared during a space flight.

The questionable food is one of the reasons...

Zing being the complete opposite to our feeling of Zzzz during the darker days.

The smell and sight of wood

Posted on Thu, 23 Dec 2021

The smell and sight of wood smoke is probably one of my favourite things about winter, even though it's a bit pollutiony. The smoke from the petchkas / wood stoves in our village each winter morning (except when it's windy) creates such a...
