Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live? I came out of a very bad marriage in 1991, 17 years with a gaslighter. This was compounded by a childhood of emotional hurt. At this point in my life I was badly bowed but not broken. You know how strong trees breakContinueContinue reading “More a Time”

What historical event fascinates you the most? This is cruelty! I have to choose one thing?! Okay, the assassination of John F Kennedy. That was masterfully done right? However, who could possibly forget where they were when they heard the news? It was cataclysmic. Not only shocking but the whole thing has more cover upsContinueContinue reading “You Can’t Ask an Historian That!”

What’s something you believe everyone should know. Please note: When I say ‘start a war’ I’m not referring to troops, I’m referring to the powers that send in the troops. Yes I know I’m normally more creative than this but to be honest, the amount of killing in a so called modern world beggars belief,ContinueContinue reading “Killing is wrong”

What does it mean to be a kid at heart? Simple fun Children are thrilled by life. All the new things they see everyday. From the moment they can see the world is full of wonder.

HeContinueContinue reading “Best not!”

Looks like my court after the misses! What is your favorite form of physical exercise? Actually I’m not bad at badminton, that’s not to say that a talented five year old couldn’t beat me, but I love it and that helps it to be my strongest sport. I heard a consultant say many years agoContinueContinue reading “Badminton and Laughter”

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”

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”

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”

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!”
