many miles away

Train whistle blowing makes a sleepy noise Underneath their blankets go all the girls and boys Rocking rolling riding out along the bay All bound for Morningtown many miles away Driver at the engine fireman rings the bell Sand man swings the lantern to show that all is well Rocking rolling riding out along the...

golden brown

Well it's getting proper cold now here in little old England. We haven't had any snow yet, but believe me right now it feels cold enough to snow! The Autumn sunshine is dwindling, along with all the lovely colours, and slowly creepy in are the dark, dismal days of Winter. So, while I try my... Continue Reading →

there goes the neighbourhood

I've always had great neighbours, on both sides, great because a) I hardly ever saw them, and b) I hardly ever heard them! I know, I know, I'm not a people person! But, a few weeks ago, on the one side, my neighbours of 20 years moved out, and new ones moved in. They have... Continue Reading →

down at Lizard Rock

Back in the day, I had a pet dragon. No really, I did, a real live dragon! You see, I had this thing about dragons, and collected all sorts of ornaments and trinkets that were dragon themed. I had quite a collection for a long time (I still have them all but they are put... Continue Reading →

soon be Christmas

Yes, folks, Christmas is just around the corner, and even though it's still November and much too early for that kind of thing, thoughts are already turning towards the festive season, with Christmas shopping, and decorating to be done.

we’ll always have Paris

I have this bucket list. I made it a couple of years ago, and while I have managed to achieve a couple of the things on it, there's still so much more I want to do before I die. Realistically it's unlikely that I'll complete it, but its always good to be positive and have... Continue Reading →
