What makes you laugh? My childhood was filled with laughter, my father was a born comedian, then my grandfather died and the laughter stopped. Life became too sad, too serious, and frankly rather nasty. I’m glad that I had that time though, my brother didn’t. At the moment, with the inexplicable state of this world,ContinueContinue reading “Too Little”

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? Firstly it was 62 years ago. Secondly I was busy playing.

What is your favorite type of weather? First glimpse of joy I don’t mind the winter. I’m lucky like that, I find it has its own beauty and a sense of restful calm. Permission to curl up on the sofa in front of a warm fire, with a hot drink and a book. We followContinueContinue reading “Spring”

Who was your most influential teacher? Why? Miss Bowles wouldn’t have needed to lift a finger to get your attention. She was a 5 foot tall, not quite as wide, pocket rocket of dignified power. As a school headmistress she wielded that power silently. She could come out into noise and chaos, stand still andContinueContinue reading “Miss Bowles”

What do you wish you could do more every day? The outfit’s all wrong in that image but the attitude isn’t. Apparently I came into this world to be boring, but that’s unsurprising when you’re surrounded by concrete and housing rather than scenery and nature. It takes a number of hours to fully escape suburbiaContinueContinue reading “Live”

What tattoo do you want and where would you put it? I have no objection to what anyone does when it comes to tattoos and piercings, but they are not for me. It comes from when I was a child.
