I had to go to the opticians to get my eyes tested at the beginning of last week. It had only been a year since my last test, but I had noticed that my glasses were not as effective, especially my driving ones. Low and behold, my prescription had changed and I needed new specs....

I decided, at the very last minute, that I would take myself off to the beach this weekend for a change of scenery and to recharge. My Sister's in law's have a static caravan on a very private site on the east coast of England. It has it's own private beach too. My Sister had... Continue Reading →
Holiday Snaps
I'm not feeling very well. I've not felt very well for a few days. I need a holiday. Not that I have any desire to travel anywhere anytime soon, but I do feel like I need a break. Somewhere by the sea, where the sun is shining and there are NO people. Oh well, maybe... Continue Reading →

don’t come any closer
Yesterday, I was sitting in my house watching the tellybox, when I heard a knock at my door. This is rare these days, the only person recently to knock my door are my sister and the grocery delivery man, and I know when they are both going to appear, so I was a little surprised...

watermelon dream
The sun was hot And the dust rose up like smoke So we hid beneath the elm tree And watched the watermelons float There in a big ol' tub of ice And we'd split 'em open with a kitchen knife And everybody got a slice It was a watermelon dream Ain't nothing sweeter than a... Continue Reading →
red sun
I wonder where you are As I fall upon my bed And I think about the way we were So much left unsaid I wonder what you're doing As I walk along the shore You took your love away from me When I only wanted more Slowly breaks the dawn today Heralded by the sun... Continue Reading →
