In the movies, the people who are writers only ever drink coffee and write. I could do that. They never have to work in their garden or take their cat to the vet or go shopping in Kaufland.

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 love the way your words

Posted on Tue, 28 Dec 2021

Precious!

My first ever balti pie was when we went to see Bath playing at Halesowen Town. I can't remember the score, the line up, our away kit, the weather or anything pertinent to the game but I will never forget that pie.

Posted on Thu, 23 Dec 2021

When I think of X and Christmas my mind goes back to my son’s obsession with those X-Wing Fighter things that the Hollywood spacemen went about in in Star Wars. They plastic models of them always had wee buttons on them that, when pressed, made a...

Well spotted! We always said

Posted on Thu, 23 Dec 2021

Well spotted! We always said ticker as an alternative to heart when I was a kid but I haven't heard it used for a long time. I wondered if it might be a bit obscure for people living outside of my Irish-Yorkshire family.
