Oh Jenny, that sounds awful.

Posted on Sun, 21 Apr 2024

Oh Jenny, that sounds awful. I know from falling off my bike that the embarrassment can be almost as bad as the pain. I really hope you're fit and well and all patched up soon.

Fields of rapeseed in flower

Posted on Sat, 20 Apr 2024

Fields of rapeseed in flower always look utterly beautiful. 

My in-laws' house in Lincolnshire was often surrounded by acres of it and we decided that it didn't smell very nice and the small black insects that it attracted were also...

Posted on Mon, 15 Apr 2024

If any nation should know better than to do this, it is Israel. Their actions in Gaza are beyond belief but it seems that a bit of local genocide isn't enough for them. They are dragging us all into the Book of Revelation.

Posted on Sat, 13 Apr 2024

Seeing things

Posted on Wed, 10 Apr 2024

Papa was a soothsayer.

Posted on Sat, 06 Apr 2024

Aren't all fathers soothsayers with the words 'told you so' poised on the tips of their tongues even if they hadn't told us so? I think my kids might say I'm guilty of that myself.
