The Little Boat
Children like something to lull them to sleep especially if they are somewhere unfamiliar. My late wife and I used to tour around in our motor caravan researching folk customs for our various exhibitions, lectures, books and television programmes. This story, with many adaptations and embellishments often served to calm our three children down after a day that frequently excited and overstimulated them, that’s when they hadn’t to be extra well behaved for a radio, TV or magazine interview.

Apocalypse Then
Dougal cursed. The grey thick fog enveloped him causing him to cough and use up one of his precious tissues wiping his nose.

From Love Tokens to Life Saving
Scissors eh? What would I have done without them? Scissors have distracted me from some of the saddest times in my life and absorbed me in the constructive times in my life.

The Joy of Pinking
Mother left me her pinking shears. I say left, it could be argued that I tore them from her dying hands. I say dying, but we all know that's just a very loose term for someone who's given up. Like she always told me, the last words on her lips in fact, "don't be so sensitive, it does you no good to take things so literally."

My First Day Crypto Day Trading
"$3617!!!!!! In a week?" I was in shock. My son had called five minutes earlier with, "Have you looked at your Coinbase lately, Mum?" in the whiny voice that usually intoned a plea for an unrepayable loan.

Summer is a Catch-All
Summer is a catch-all, through slit we writhe and slide, Fresh gossamer is gloss for her, who cares less how we tried To brandish velvet colours true, flit glorious and glide

Can You Actually See Your Life?
I just received some polarized dark glasses for my birthday having taken up fishing during lockdown. They are useful in fishing because they cut out glare from reflective surfaces so that you can see through the water’s surface and spot any fish lying below. They do this by filtering out the horizontally orientated light waves, ‘glare’, to allow any vertical light waves to come through, hence the term polarizing and the trade name Polaroid which was derived from the technology.
