Eleven Thousand Silent Playmates

When an old song revives a memory that uncovers an astonishing secret. You might call this a sequel, or even a prequel, to Making Do with Dusty Springfield.

For years I worked with

Posted on Wed, 27 Oct 2021

For years I worked with elderly people and seeing them caught by dementia used to break my heart. Your words describing your Mum's situation have brought back so many memories of complete strangers who I came to love before slowly but ultimately...

I love reading diaries.

Posted on Sat, 23 Oct 2021

A long, long time ago I worked on ships. Working and living with people in such close proximity for six to eight months at a time whilst thousands of miles from home made me feel I got a deep understanding of, and closeness to, colleagues that I...

A nice bit of secrecy.

Posted on Tue, 12 Oct 2021

I really enjoyed your poem Rhiannon. It hadn't crossed my mind that adults speaking in code in front of their kids was a form of keeping things secret. I remember it being a struggle with my kids, and then an even bigger struggle when they...

Pick of the Dream Pops

Posted on Thu, 08 May 2025

It must be very difficult for any musical performers from Mullingar to succeed, living as they do in the shadow of the immortal Joe Dolan. So fair play to the Gone Forevers. I'm glad their lyrics are in Swedish. I wish Abba could have done the...

Marillion

Posted on Wed, 07 May 2025

Oooh, thanks very much indeed Jenny. Your comment is almost as long as my post.

When I worked in Bristol there was a colleague who had previously been a roadie for Marillion and, as a consequence, Marillion agreed to be the live band at...

Ah now, I'm delighted by this news. I've been confined to the house most of the day by a huge thunderstorm so this has fair cheered me up.

Many thanks to you, your cat and your blackbird.

Bravo!

Very well done Jane. Fingers crossed here for the book. Unlike IPFN, I do have a hat to eat if it doesn't get published but hats tend to give me indigestion, especially sombreros.

And it will get published anyway.

Isn't energetic just the perfect word for describing the spring?

A great poem Jenny. Congratulations on all the accolades.

We never know what characters hide behind those scary faces. Better safe than sorry, every time for children and adults.

When I was nine and living in York, a lorry driver stopped and offered me a lift. I often think back and wonder what...
