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.

Does Mr A.N.Muggins always tell ya that the old songs are the best? Then he's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest?

these tree thieves sip upon
the destiny of their branches
It fascinates me how nature can send something so small to do so...

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.
