How much would you pay to go to the moon? I love you but I’ve never seen myself as an adventurous person, and much as I could look at the moon for hours I’m very content to see it from terrafirma. I just don’t think I’d enjoy the experience of being locked into a tube,ContinueContinue reading “Nothing”

The Unexpected Importance of History
All in the past? Yet it’s standing right there! I was interested in history from an early age, but always saw it as…well…history. Then I went to Bath Spa University to do English (which irritated me – long funny story) and Creative English (which it turned out I didn’t need), so I swapped to myContinueContinue reading “The Unexpected Importance of History”
Different but similar
What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? The day job I chose university lecturer in history for my day job, but unfortunately that didn’t work out. In truth that wasn’t a bad thing, although it wasn’t good either, but it did leave me to work on one of my three callings,ContinueContinue reading “Different but similar”

Chocolate
What food would you say is your specialty? I really don’t have a speciality. I eat to live. Food doesn’t really interest me, never has. Between the ages of two and three I apparently ate three digestive biscuits a day and was never ill. I was hungry during my younger years, but never really mindedContinueContinue reading “Chocolate”
Not All of Them!
What major historical events do you remember? I’m in my 60’s so this list could be endless, and of course it depends on what you consider to be historical. However: Age 6: This is the first – Kennedy assassination. That impacted because Caroline Kennedy was the same age as me and had lost her daddy.ContinueContinue reading “Not All of Them!”
Risk? Dear God!
What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? I’m the most boringly unadventurous person on the planet when it comes to risk. I don’t mind things like flying, the end result is wonderful, new people places and experiences. Well worth it. it’s what I think of as the smallerContinueContinue reading “Risk? Dear God!”
Not a Lot
What are you most proud of in your life? And yet one very important thing. I don’t have children so I don’t have them to be proud of. I do have my brother who is fighting a life altering condition with great courage. I’m proud of him. I have wonderful friends but they’re a blessingContinueContinue reading “Not a Lot”
