• Celebrating Sixty Glorious Years (and one song)

  I’ve just finished watching the Diamond Jubilee celebration concert for Her Majesty the Queen, and I have been quite moved. The crowds… the music… the lights… the fireworks… the Keep Calm And Carry On… it was an amazing concert. I was moved not by the images from yesteryear throughout the Queen’s reign. I wasn’t moved…

• Self Portrait

  I look nothing like I think I do. I think I look exactly as I did years ago, but the mirror tells me otherwise. The mirror lies. The mirror points out flaws I never knew I had. Truths I never believed existed. Flaws that would never exist on me. I’m perfect. Well, apart from the…

• Through the Mists of Time

  I travelled through the ether to a place in a different realm. Surrounded by a pulsating orange light which swirled around me I was taken to a room. A room with a large table at the far end. This was where I started my journey. On the table was a large, leather-bound book. I touched…
