Missing words mixtionary.

This is a journal for those words that ought to exist and don’t. The words that blend two existing words and have a subtle and fuller meaning than either of the words they are derived from: words like repoleater – the person who overeats to please the hostess; abscents – the unmistakeable smells of fear; [...]

The Book of Water.

This is a journal for all things water-related. Without water our planetĀ  would be barren and without ‘life as we know it’. I love the sound of water, water splashing in a fountain, gurgling from a spring, a tinkling stream, the sound of surging flood water in a river, the crash of waves in the [...]

I’d like the paintings to remain visible, and poetry [...]

Magic Moments.

Have you ever experienced a truly magical moment, when time itself seems to be suspended and the laws of physics, time and nature are overturned? There have been a few in my 65 years of life, but the one I want to write about was experienced alone – well apart from my ‘cello and a [...]

Dawn, daybreak, sunrise.
