Love and respect for all At a time when the world is watching to see what happens next. How does the current world situation make any sense? We have the lessons of history. There is a massive war. Someone wins. Twenty years later we’re all trading together again as if nothing happened. Why can’t weContinueContinue reading “D-Day 2024”

Tallulah Blenkinsop Smythe
If you had to change your name, what would your new name be? I am of course kidding. It has a ring to it though. I have thought about Amanda Grant. I don’t know why. However, my favourite name is my soul name, and I don’t think I’d want to use it in this world.ContinueContinue reading “Tallulah Blenkinsop Smythe”
Getting Worse – Clarence on the Case
So, the results from last night’s screaming match are in. A lot of agreement from the public that the choice in the UK indicates that a states person would be desirable. Conclusions so far are: * Sunak is a liar * Starmer is a Lawyer Therefore there is nothing to choose between them. Of courseContinueContinue reading “Getting Worse – Clarence on the Case”
All of Them
Describe your dream chocolate bar. The best birthday present ever! As long as they’re milk chocolate. I actually had my dream chocolate bar about twenty years ago. There was a Cadbury Chocolate store near us, and they were selling this enormous bar of chocolate. Each square was 2” across, and as deep. You couldn’t biteContinueContinue reading “All of Them”
Clarence on the Debate/Debacle
Dear Friends I’m a bit shaky today. I watched the debate last night. If that even convinced anyone to actually vote the UK is in a worse state than I thought. Two leaders incapable of just saying yes or no, very loudly. Can’t we just resurrect the Late Queen, she sorted her own son andContinueContinue reading “Clarence on the Debate/Debacle”

Politics is a repeating scenario between the public and politicians. You only don’t fix things if they’re not broken,ContinueContinue reading “Elections: Staying Sane”
Clarence on the Case
Another offering from my roving political reporter who covers all the UK General Elections, and needs the five years in between to recover. Last night one of the architects of Brexit, Johnson’s co-truth-avoider and game player, took over a political party without duly being voted in by the members, and did what we all knewContinueContinue reading “Clarence on the Case”
The Chalet School Books
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood? It was about an English girl who was sent away to school in the alps. That’s all I can remember. Except being very upset when she left school. They were the books that triggered my love of reading, which has turned out to be a very expensiveContinueContinue reading “The Chalet School Books”
Going to Cheat
List three books that have had an impact on you. Why? Three? Are you nuts? I can do four books in one series! So I will play fast and loose with the answer as always! Firstly I have read hundreds of books and from self-help through to novels I’ve found a great deal of inspirationContinueContinue reading “Going to Cheat”
A Little Bit of Insanity
For the last few years I’ve written a blog based on our general elections, on Facebook. As we’re all in need of a laugh at the moment, I thought I’d share it on here too. The sad thing is that politics is a subject that should be taken seriously as it affects us all, butContinueContinue reading “A Little Bit of Insanity”
