This is a sanctuary where I keep my reflections and musings about my countryside upbringing in Derbyshire, England. I reflect on village life, school days, growing up and most things inbetween, including parts of life which we all face such as “The Joys of Ageing” and “Getting through” difficult times.

This poem is not only about a part of my childhood and whilst I hope that it can trigger some happy memories for you too, it is also about finding an anchor within volatility. I hope that it reminds you of your own ancho

This story tells of a brief encounter which I had with a Buzzard as he searched and then found prey in the field by our house. He was absolutely beautiful and I so enjoyed taking the time to really experience him.

The Whole of the Moon This is a short poem about how over time, I have become able to re-live, re- feel and re-enjoy, some of my best life experiences which I have had so far, just by reflection. As Wordsworth also exper

Saying Goodbye Looking back over my life, I have always found saying goodbye really hard to do and I am sure this is the same for many of us to varying degrees. Perhaps a little sad at times, this poem looks at those occ

Oh! the angst of teenage years! Its such a pity that when you are a teenager and probably in your prime physically, you don’t have the wisdom to accompany it. That always comes a little later. Had I then had the wisdom w

I suppose that this short poem is a cautionary tale for life and of how sometimes things are not quite as they initially seem. It teaches us to be cautionary and to not assume that we know what we are looking at or exper

I think the main message in this poem is the importance of ensuring that you build a good relationship with yourself as surreal as that may sound to some. At the end of the day, the only person you will be with all of yo

Sometimes smells can be so important. They can immediately trigger happy nostalgic memories and also some sad and bitter/sweet ones too, such as people we have lost and times gone by. We immediately recall a poignant mom

This poem is for those listeners who have left the UK to live elsewhere. It takes a walk down memory lane at the kinds of things they my think about when they look back at their earlier years in the UK.. I guess in a way

I wrote this poem when I was eighteen. It is a simple children’s fairy tale story about a little mouse and her adventure with some fairies. It is descriptive and I hope, takes you back to those childhood dreams and fanta

This poem is about those wonderful furry best friends who come into our lives. The ones who are always there, no matter what, who empathise, sympathise and just know when you are out of sorts or sad, but are also always

This poem is basically a homage to the great British cup of tea and of Course, the scrumptious biscuits which we accompany it with, whether nibbled, dunked or shoved in whole! This great institution has helped us over hu

If you are in any way a twitcher, this one is for you. In this poem I take a look at the many birds that visit in and around my garden and the delight my husband and I find in watching them. From the Bluetits, to the Thr

I’ll bet that many of us of a certain age can remember “ Watch with Mother” and the various characters we met back then! Simple programmes, peaceful, no horror or gore, just simple rules of life for simple times. Happy D

Irony is a fact of life and we have all experienced it! From the fantastic summer holiday which we have looked forward to for ages, being rained upon whilst the sun shines back at home, to the guy you have idolised for m

This is a tale about perseverance and of never giving up, even when the odds seem totally against you. There have been many times in my life when this has been the case, but each time, somehow I push on through. Although
