What TV shows did you watch as a kid? “Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin?” That was how Listen With Mother opened on the Radio. A nice comfortable, happy, programme of stories for children. Television was in its infancy. We had Andy Pandy, and the Flowerpot men. I loved them. We had Children’s Hour.ContinueContinue reading “Not Many”

What’s your favorite time of day? I like the energetic peace and quiet. When the underlying emotionally chaotic vibe of the world quietens. I love being awake after midnight. It’s so quiet. The air is softer. I’ve never been an early morning person, unless you count 2 am, so I can’t really comment much. ButContinueContinue reading “Night”

What’s your favorite recipe? Made with a dash of Tia Maria and coffee, a decent chocolate and single cream. It’s an amazing and healthy dessert. You can dip in small pieces of sponge or biscuit, but a selection of fresh fruit is by far the best. It’s a lovely, social, fun way to connect. ThereContinueContinue reading “Chocolate Fondue”

Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. This is pretty much what happened. I’d been struggling with social media for a while. Left everything but Facebook. The sheer overwhelm, too much information on speed, a lot of it questionable, too much of it unkind. If you’re thinking it’s not that much that’sContinueContinue reading “My New Private Facebook Group”

How would you design the city of the future? You did ask. Small enclaves. Beautiful housing for all. Shops and restaurants in every area. Lots of walking paths. No high rises. Community cars. Public transport. Lots of garden areas. Play areas for children, spaces for teenagers. Lots of entertainment for everyone. Live music on weekendContinueContinue reading “For people”

Where did your name come from? Just for a laugh I’ve told the story before that my dad wanted me called Ann. My mum refused to spend her life correcting people who called me Annie because she hated the name; seriously thank you mum. I don’t hate it but… My aunt named me, she didContinueContinue reading “A battle”

What motivates you? Or sometimes not. I came into this world from a better one on a complete misunderstanding. You see I’ve never seen one reason to be nasty. Any need to attack in any way for any reason. It literally doesn’t compute. To defend the weak I see a point. I couldn’t stand backContinueContinue reading “Life”

The Wedding Date The three Chris Pine Star Trek films The three Hangover films The five Twilight films The four Hunger Games films The four Star Trek the Next Generation movies The King and I from the 60’s Miss Congeniality one and two The Devil Wears Prada AContinueContinue reading “The Perfect 10?”

What do you enjoy most about writing? I love playing with words. You can be as overt and obvious as you like, mix things up, change, create laughter, or sometimes deliberately mislead and wait to see what happens. How others see it. Take this very simple prose poem. That tiny last line. Completely obvious. AndContinueContinue reading “Word Scrambling”

What do you love about where you live? Love my roses Where we live is not for us. We haven’t settled. That’s no disrespect to the area, it’s a purely personal thing. One of those things you can only explain by it not calling to your heart. Sometimes in life things that should have noContinueContinue reading “We want to move”
