Whilst I was out and about on my mammoth walk to take photos and visit spots relating to my new book, I came across a newly planted area of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London Blossom Garden – a living memorial to commemorate the city’s shared experience of the Coronavirus pandemic. The garden offers a… Continue reading Visiting the London Blossom Covid Memorial Garden

My Project for 2022
I hop everyone has had a Happy New Year and festive period. I can’t believe this is 2022 and yet I can so clearly remember 1982! The summer of 2022 will see my 10 year anniversary of writing this blog and as I write this there have been 912,000 visitors to my blog which seems… Continue reading My Project for 2022
Coronavirus Diary 80 – I’ve survived Covid19!
I’d just like to say thank-you for all the messages and emails I’ve received this last few weeks and with any luck I can say I just about made it through Covid 19. I still have the famous Covid cough from the dreaded Delta variant and I still have no appetite or sense of taste… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 80 – I’ve survived Covid19!
Coronavirus Diary 79 – I have Covid 19 :-(
Morning everyone, I hope all is well. I’ve been quiet but not away. Some of you may have noticed that my 9 year streak of posting at least twice a week has recently been broken. This won’t be my longest post ever which I am sure will be a relief to everyone. After my close… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 79 – I have Covid 19 😦
Coronavirus Diary 75 – Finding a Holy and Magical Well in St Albans.
I’ve been to a few Holy Wells in my time, some ancient pagan wells and some slightly less ancient but still extremely old Christian ones. The problem with wells in cities and particularly near to London is that they are either blocked up or entirely built over. Some times is simply due to the rise… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 75 – Finding a Holy and Magical Well in St Albans.
Coronavirus Diary 73 – I got my vaccine!
Wednesday the 3rd of March was a big day for me for several reasons, I had another #1 book, The Budget was held in Parliament (more on that next time) and most eagerly awaited of all it was the day the day I was to get my Coronavirus Vaccine. As someone who spends so much… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 73 – I got my vaccine!
Oops, I did it again!
Just a short post today as I had something else planned and it wasn’t another reference to a Britney Spears song. As you may remember, my new book £xcluded Voices was released on Monday and within hours it reached number one in its Amazon section. I didn’t expect that in anyway as I know it’s… Continue reading Oops, I did it again!
My new book cover and blurb for my £xcluded Voices book.
I thought I would share the book cover for my upcoming new book. Everyone reading this will know I am one of the 3 million #ExcludedUK and tomorrow sees me start my 55th week of having no income or government support and whilst Shielding alone too. So rather than write a history book dealing with… Continue reading My new book cover and blurb for my £xcluded Voices book.
Remembering Captain Tom and putting the boot into sycophants
I just wanted to do a little post to say how sorry I am to hear of the death of Captain Sir Tom Moore who captured the hearts of much of the world in 2020 after he started out to raise £1,000 to help NHS related charities by walking 100 laps of his garden in… Continue reading Remembering Captain Tom and putting the boot into sycophants
Coronavirus Diary 72: Being a Good Samaritan to the living and having a hot drink with the dead.
One of the things I really miss about being Excluded and not able to work as well as Shielding alone is being able to help people. I really really miss it. I know I still help lots of people from my chair but like everything in life, things are different if you do them in… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 72: Being a Good Samaritan to the living and having a hot drink with the dead.
