My Blue Peter Badge

The Eyes suggested I blog a memory for each year of my life – mainly as a writing prompt, so this is what I’m doing. I’ve done, one and two already but three is a little trickier. As I’ve described I find my very early memories to be like small islands floating in a sea … Read More


Charlie Hebdo

I have tried to avoid retweeting anything with the ‘JesuisCharlie’ hashtag. I have not used it because I just can’t bring myself to respresent myself as a magazine that produced what I regarded, and still regard, as racist cartoons. I looked at them again after the shooting, and I still feel I was right the … Read More

I have revisited it time and again over the past thirty two (almost) years, ever since someone when I was about six told me that they couldn’t remember anything before they were ten. That completely freaked me … Read More


A is for Ancestors

The Pagan Blog Project isn’t happening this year but I’ve often found it a good prompt to get me back into writing so I thought I’d give it a go anyway (in anycase I’ve never managed to finish it so it’s my personal challenge for the year!) Previously I’ve written about Aphrodite, Apples and Altars. … Read More
