When the boys were little we decided to leave the HMForces and move to the Marches. Hereford…Ross-On-Wye…Goodrich…Monmouth. Didn’t happen but I got to know this area quite well.

The tiny bookshop that I was squished into the other week, remember? Oh. Never mind. It’s so small now because the owner has given the other half of the shop to his daughter and her partner.

I’ve loved this voice for decades. I know nothing about Nina Simone’s life but she’s always vibed with me through her songs. About 2 years ago, I quoted this sing on a yt channel trying to warn someone what his fave “she” had done. And is still doing, btw. It earned me a lifetime ban […]
The motto of the RMP CPU is ‘Protegimus’, from the Latin ‘haec protegimus’, which means ‘we protect/defend these things’. Himself was the longest EVER serving instructor at their secret training location. He also served 6 months at a time in Kinshasa, Kigali, Algiers, Cyprus. (And another African city beginning with K that I can never remember. […]
Sad to say – I know too much about this Lucy! FACT. 1897. Bram Stoker. GB’s Hidden History Analyses of Vlad, Voivode Drăculești from the House of Basarab. See many previous posts. Lucy the Bloofer Lady who likes sucking on children is my focus today. I’ll start with Sheffield Gothic…as I am NOT a Psychic […]
