As has happened a few times in the history of this blog, an event which I wrote about from a historical standpoint is now unravelling as a live event. A few months ago I wrote on the treasures of the missing treasures of bad King John and several other missing treasures including Nazi gold and this week… Continue reading Nazi Gold Train Found In Poland After 70 Years?

I have my first book signing!
So the big news on the happiness front this week is that I have been offered my very first book-signing. I didn’t have to beg or grovel or anything like I expected I might have to do or lets face it, be prepared to do. It’s not in London’s Oxford Street or New York’s Time… Continue reading I have my first book signing!
Building walls instead of knocking them down!
When I was leaving school we were all used to the idea that divisions between people were coming down. In the autumn of 1989 when I was 15 and readying for my end of school exams the Berlin Wall came down and within a matter of weeks the nations of eastern Europe finally became free.… Continue reading Building walls instead of knocking them down!
How Shakespeare has influenced Pop Culture
How can I be British, a writer, yet have never really written about Shakespeare in over 3 years of blogging. Would you believe that when I was at Secondary School (High School), it was politically incorrect for us to learn Shakespeare as part of the generally, we can’t be proud of any of the good… Continue reading How Shakespeare has influenced Pop Culture
True Love Ever Does Run Deep
In the 1980’s there were two artists by the name of Marina and Ulay. As many artists (and writers!!) are, they were poor and lived out of the back of a truck. They lived their lives and relationship through their art and this culminated with their much thought our separation. They came up with… Continue reading True Love Ever Does Run Deep
Let Me Help – Doing more than feeling sorry for those in need.
I’ve written before about being A Good Samaritan. I spend a lot of time thinking about those in need. Whether it is homeless persons or those fallen on hard times in other ways such as ex-service people. Even my first book was called Let Me Help before it I re-wrote it and got it published… Continue reading Let Me Help – Doing more than feeling sorry for those in need.
100 things I love about you
We’re all so used to being busy and not fully appreciating the many wonderful things in this world that admittedly often get overshadowed by the terrible. Time is always moving onwards and our time on this Earth is infinite but how many times in a life time do we stop to watch the sunrise, admire… Continue reading 100 things I love about you
Photos from St. Paul’s Cathedral
This Monday I had the chance to do something I don’t get to do very often and that is enjoy London as a tourist. It’s easy when you live and work here to get bogged down with the traffic congestion and crowds and not make the most of the place. So on MondaI went and… Continue reading Photos from St. Paul’s Cathedral
You are what you live
Have you ever given pause to thought about national stereotypes and the perceptions that strangers may have of you because of where you live? It’s hard to talk about such things without over generalising but often like many other things they can be based on fact. Germans can come over as hard working and… Continue reading You are what you live
Why are the 7 days in a week? The story behind the names of the days of the week
Have you ever wondered why the week has 7 days in it? It is so entrenched around the world even in areas not influenced by Bible teaching and yet no one really questions why this is. Whilst human devised methods of marking years or lunar months make sense, the division of days into weeks… Continue reading Why are the 7 days in a week? The story behind the names of the days of the week
