Places We Go

I was taught this a very long time ago and it was reinforced by a beautiful friend who once told me that whatever/wherever/whomever I write about has a connection to me. Where we “travel” is NEVER an accident! I was once given the chance to go through Past-Life Regression by a hypnotherapist. I declined. Through […]

RED DWARF

This was/is in my eldest’s Top 5 Comedy series EVER! I watched every episode of the first 3 series too and loved it because it is right up there with the very best of BIZARRE, totally inexplicable Brit humour. I have fond memories of Lister, Rimmer, Kryton, Holly and Cat and their own surreal brand […]

Terror By Night

Despite the modern MS History “stories” (!) It took a long time to get rid of….sorry….modernise British Rail. Dr Beeching and his pals in government may have won in the end but, there were certain routes that survived the Brave New BR plan. Namely the route from King’s Cross that goes all the way from […]

Moravia

What month are we in? It feels like November and my birthday! Presents galore. What I’m loving (as well as the wonderful gifts) is the fact that they come with just a tiny clue or two. And I’m being trusted to do the research myself and make up my own mind. OK. I might’ve got […]

Realist revolutionary: The painter who brought the heavenly down to earth Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610), was always a name to be reckoned with.Notorious bad boy of Italian painting, the artist was at once celebrated and controversial: Violent in temper, precise in technique, a creative master, and a man on the […]

Eastern Wisdom

I would NEVER argue with or question the I-Ching. It makes a lot of sense to me and was an integral part of my Feng Shui training many, many, many years ago :o)

Parisienne Walkways

I have a Dream! In my dream, I am back in Paris, walking (again) down the Champs–Élysées or the rue Saint-Honoré  or through the Jardin des Tuileries and I’ll hear THIS song. Played really loud by a REAL guitar player with a FULL orchestra. A bit like this……? P.S. I might get the vapours and […]

Don’t Believe A Word

In my (need to study more) V ery HUMBLE opinion – Gary Moore was/is probably/maybe the BEST guitar player EVER. And when he got together with the AMAZEBALLS Phil Lynott – THE Legend of Rock Music was Born. Just my opinion! THE (BEST) Boys are Back in MY Town. Woooohoooooo! PLAYING MAXVOL :o)

Revelation/Realisation

Oh. ‘Struth. I’ve just realised that Eddi’s hair in this vid looks EXACTLY the same as mine. F1RST thing in the morning. Apart from the fact that about 6 years ago I stopped going to the hairdresser every 8 weeks and paying about a week’s wages to have the Grey Streak dyed by poisonous hair […]
