It’s still a few days before Halloween and I have a whole plethora of Halloween themed posts as well as from history such as Corpse Roads and Dancing on the Dead at Enon Chapel – The Victorian Sensation! to more recent scary goings on such as The Enfield Poltergeist. For a simple post today though, just… Continue reading My close encounter with a London Ghost last week!

Coronavirus Diary 68 – Today I will be meeting with Oliver Dowden, MP and Cabinet Minister
Today is the day after 6 months of campaigning, witty insults, cutting comments and deliberate government discrimination and impoverished ness; I get to meet with a senior Cabinet Minister to plead my case and those of 3 million others #ExcludedUK I’m sure I will be politely listened to and ignored as no-one really cares but… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 68 – Today I will be meeting with Oliver Dowden, MP and Cabinet Minister
Coronavirus Diary 67 – Pitching ideas to the national newspapers
Following all the events I’ve gone through in the last few weeks, I was kindly tipped off about a possible opening for writing an article for a newspaper as opposed to being the subject of them! Last week I pitched 3 ideas to a quality broadsheet newspaper and was delighted to find out that 2… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 67 – Pitching ideas to the national newspapers
Coronavirus Diary 59 – Finally I have something to sit on!
It’s hard to believe that I moved house on Friday 31st January and on Monday 3rd February at 10am I ordered my armchair and sofa. The advice to most of the planet was if you couldn’t go out then at least you can sit on your sofa and read or watch television for a few… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 59 – Finally I have something to sit on!
A moody photo of Stonehenge
A few weeks ago I was going through my ever growing library of photos on my iPad which stands at something like 64GB and I came across a particularly atmospheric photo I took of Stonehenge. Most people that I take there with Ye Olde England Tours like to go in the summer and they like sunny… Continue reading A moody photo of Stonehenge
Coronavirus Diary 58 – An unfortunate accident!
I made a very rare social outing last week to meet a friend. It wasn’t planned but I had to go to the bank and they happened to live just a minute away so we met up for a hot drink. Staying in the cafe wasn’t an option as it was take-away only, nevertheless we… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 58 – An unfortunate accident!
Coronavirus Diary 56 – My first hug!
In England, last Saturday was known as Super Saturday with the first substantial re-opening of shops and pubs soon after most shops re-opened. Of course none of that interested me in the slightest. It probably shows something of what a simple life I lead and what makes me happy when on an off-chance I… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 56 – My first hug!
Happy 8th birthday to my blog!
Would you believe that on Sunday I was notified that my blog is 8 years old. When I started I had no idea that I would still be writing almost a decade later. I pretty much thought I’d be lucky to make it out of July 2012. The timing is rather convenient because of Sunday… Continue reading Happy 8th birthday to my blog!
Coronavirus Diary 50 – Of Woodlice and men
I remember reading Of Mice And Men At School, it was in the 80’s when it was politically incorrect to be taught Shakespeare which had lasted centuries and so we read significant work from the early 20th century which now too is seen to have its problems. Maybe it is time for someone to write… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 50 – Of Woodlice and men
Coronavirus Diary 48 – A bit of this, a bit of that.
I’m continuing my self-isolation which is probably a good thing as typically for my luck, the streets and neighbouring villages around where I live have the highest Covid mortality rate in the whole-country per head of population. With the electrician gone I have spent the last few days tidying up which largely involves turning walls… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 48 – A bit of this, a bit of that.
