Grow the Idea
I tossed an idea I clearly rejected Abandoned another Discarded, neglected No act of pursuing No fanning the flame All thinking – no doing No pain and no gain Frustrating though really I thought it was good But now it’s all theory I strangled the bud I am reminded of a day that began Read More …
More Faith – Less Logic!
Don’t you find that some days you walk around oblivious then get smacked in the face with History? Like visiting Hillsborough Stadium on the very day you can actually stand on the pitch! Like visiting closed Bretton Hall on the very day you can actually go inside! Like turning up to a meeting and finding Read More …
Off the Map!
They couldn’t make the journey in 40 years! Know what I’m talking about? The Israelites could not manage to arrive on a journey that should have lasted days.

Bowled Out!
Crown Green Bowling is such a gentle game! The sun shines, the birds sing, the park is peaceful and the green is…..green! Aaah! Relax.

Lost in Leeds
It is not unusual for me to be lost! It is not unusual for me to be lost in Leeds! Perhaps you know my pain – of driving endlessly to the sound of , “Recalculating!” as once again, I find I am in the wrong lane to carry out the last minute direction given by Read More …
