Leaving Without You?
How should I feel When the one I love Leaves me to die? Is it like in the movies? Maybe more like a stage play? Knife in the back and then exit stage left. Maybe it’s just a horrible dream? Surely nobody could do that? I couldn’t, wouldn’t, shouldn’t Do that, if the…
HAPPY BRIGHTON PRIDE 2018!
We have come a long way. Today my home city hosts one of the biggest PRIDE events anywhere! Laughter and smiles, brightly coloured costumes, make up and wigs, dressing down, dressing up, banter, bitching and love in equal measure on open display. Harmony and respect enveloping the city for a weekend. It’s a time to…
Reaching the Crossroads
It’s been awhile since I wrote anything. Life has been a torrent and barrage of things slamming into me constantly like the boiling and roiling rain fall of a tropical storm. It hasn’t let up for weeks, and now I am totally sodden, bedraggled and weak as I trudge on to the next…

I We left a drizzly and grey London August afternoon behind us, but arrived in a balmy, dark and surprisingly quiet evening in Rome. The scheduled BA flight was pleasant, so too our prosecco and nibbles and on time when leaving Heathrow. We got off the last Leonardo Express from Fiumicino Airport to an almost…
And Still Counting the Days…..
3 People think they know me- I’ve spent a lifetime actively and deliberately letting people believe that. I know I have come across as insensitive and shallow sometimes. I often wonder if anyone would really appreciate just how hard that is to pull off consistently? But in reality- well the so called reality is often…
You Are My Whole World?
The throwaway couples expression I seem to see so widely used on Facebook and other social media platforms is: ‘He/she/they (pick the appropriate) are my whole world’. Stone me if I’m wrong- but particularly used so often it appears, by insecure, dull and uninspired people; those who seem unable to post anything that has more…
