Over the last few weeks I've taken to wearing a piece of jewellery given to me by my father when I was around 9 years old. This solid pewter pendant has lain in the bottom of my jewellery box as a mostly overlooked momento of childhood. As you can see: it's a smiley face. Why... Continue Reading →
As far as I can tell this is a debut novel. It starts as if it is going to be a farce along the lines of Faulty Towers madness meets delightful 'Dibley-esque' nonsense. A very British blend of humour and themes-the aristocracy versus the village, locking horns over a noise abatement issue: an open-air concert.... Continue Reading →
Here is a picture of my freind Louise hugging a baby. Now, don't be confused: Louise isn't God. I know that. She knows that and I'm guessing none of her friends hold Louise to be a deity. But Louise IS a vicar and she posted this photo challenging us to share one photo to show... Continue Reading →
Yes, I know it's too early. Christmas is 5 weeks today and we've still got the whole of Advent to get through but I'm in a mood to celebrate.

The puppies are now 10 months old. Their dad was brown miniature poodle and their mum a black and white cocker spaniel. And what... Continue Reading →
A friend recently gave me a second hand book she knew I'd find interesting: Sex Life in Marriage by Dr G Richard, a swiss academic, published in 1948, selling at the time for the princely sum of 2 and 6 ( could some one please tell me what that means in real money?) Having written... Continue Reading →
A totally frivolous post this one, but very funny... When you have to visit a public toilet, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the cubicle doors. Every cubicle is occupied. Finally, a door opens and you dash... Continue Reading →
My alarm clock radio woke me this morning with the news that scientists would today be attempting to re-create conditions at the start of the universe. Hmm, human beings re-enacting the ‘big bang’? Sounds pretty dodgy to me, let’s hope they know what they are doing. What if they end up with a whole new... Continue Reading →
