It’s hard to believe that 10 years ago today, my mother died. Unexpectedly after having several bouts of cancer over the years but seemingly on the mend after a very recent operation. March is just a completely dead month to me. Her birthday on the 14th is quickly followed by Mothers Day and then a… Continue reading 10 years ago today, my Mam died

Coronavirus Diary 87 : Down and still out
I don’t know about you but I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the invasion of Ukraine and a huge part of me wants to help-out. Not just in the donating clothes and powerpacks way but to actually go there and fight. I feel such disillusionment with my own country and despise the government… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 87 : Down and still out
Living in a Slow Glass World
It’s been a rather surreal few weeks where I live, in an increasingly surreal year. It has been extremely dense fog for the most part as I write this for almost 2 weeks. It reminds me a little of the famous pea-soup fogs of old London in the Victorian times or 1950’s or indeed it… Continue reading Living in a Slow Glass World
Spending Christmas Alone
I’m writing this post a few weeks in advance as I do for most of my posts. Christmas is traditionally a time for get-togethers and families and people don’t tend to think of those who spend it on their own for various reasons. In previous years, I have spent Christmas Eve and some other days… Continue reading Spending Christmas Alone
I loved the girl

I have been out of the house only a handful of times in this time, two of which were to lay flowers on the grave of… Continue reading Modern day Grave Robbers who stole from my mothers grave
Missing Mam, 4 years on.
It’s now well over 4 years since I unexpectedly lost my mother and though I would very much like to say things have settled into a new normal, they really haven’t. Or if they have then the new normal really isn’t a very nice place. However there are a few things that I’d like to… Continue reading Missing Mam, 4 years on.

New book promo video & poems from Very Sad Poetry
A few weeks ago I released my new book, Very Sad Poetry. Thank-you to everyone who as purchased a copy, for a few days I was giving William Wordsworth a run for his money on the Amazon ranking charts and ahead of such luminaries as Milton and Rumi. Now things have settled back to normal… Continue reading New book promo video & poems from Very Sad Poetry
My New Book – Very Sad Poetry
I’m delighted today to be able to announce the release of my first ever book of poems, Very Sad Poetry. I felt very strongly that there are a great deal of poetry books on happy subjects of love, friendship and the good things in life but very little for the many people who suffer… Continue reading My New Book – Very Sad Poetry
