A small story which I thought some people like to read involves D-Day veteran Bernard Jordan aged 89. He was reported missing from his Pines Care home in Hove. Bernard apparently was told by his care home that he wasn’t able to attend the events in Normandy these last few days whether due to the… Continue reading The Spirit of D-Day Lives On!

Is WordPress Ripping You Off?
That time of year has come when it is time to renew my WordPress domain mapping fees so that I can keep running my blogs on their .co.uk domains rather than the standard wordpress.com domain. No big deal I thought after receiving their helpful reminder email. It’s just $13 per domain and one of them… Continue reading Is WordPress Ripping You Off?
Is Putin like Hitler?
It’s the question that everyone has been talking about recently. It’s possibly what even more people have been thinking to themselves. Is Putin acting like Hitler? Putin has on more than one occasion said the fall of the Soviet Union was a catastrophe. It’s hard to find anyone from Eastern Europe who thinks that. These… Continue reading Is Putin like Hitler?
How football sounds to people that just don’t care

Game of Thrones – The fact behind the fiction
Like many others I am an avid fan of Game of Thrones, not the novels as I simply don’t have time to read them but most definitely the television series.

Opposing political parties insist we are all doomed except of course for the government of the day that state things are always on… Continue reading How wrong can we be?

A spring time walk through The Shire
With it being a long bank holiday weekend in the U.K. and horror of horrors, warm sunny weather, I have been out and about. Sitting in the sun, walking down quiet lanes, smelling flowers, watching nature and visiting the odd country pub. We’ve seen horses, foxes, turkeys, chickens, rabbits, deer and about 20 species of… Continue reading A spring time walk through The Shire
The Return of The Loch Ness Monster
The Loch Ness Monster is one of if not the worlds most famous suspected and yet totally unscientifically proven creatures along with the Yeti in the Himalayas and its North American cousin, Big Foot. Though it has been seen for 1,500 years and in the latter years of the 20th Century, several times a year,… Continue reading The Return of The Loch Ness Monster
The pitfalls of picking a book cover
It’s the moment that every writer both looks forward to and dreads in equal measure; deciding upon and somehow either creating, commissioning or crossing-your fingers and hoping an inbuilt software template can create a good book cover. Book covers are important because unless you are Stephen King (I’m 50% there as I have the right… Continue reading The pitfalls of picking a book cover
