Beneath Hill 60 is a film about Australian tunnellers in World War 1 who created the world’s largest explosion under German lines in Belgium. The effect was so strong it was felt as far away as London and Dublin, Ireland! My wife and I went to see the movie last night at a local cinema. [...]

Earlier this year I developed an allergy which resulted in Hives/Urticaria. Today I have it under control and rarely have to take antihistamines (partly because I have discovered the triggers (food/drink based and Somac – a prescribed medication).

Today, 3rd June, is the 15th anniversary of the death of a close friend of mine who died in the northern summer of 94. In fact, he was the best friend I ever had. His name was Peter Vernon Booth (Pete) and he was a very unusual man. Think eccentric English boffin. Highly intelligent (IQ [...]
Easter means different things to many people. For some of my thoughts on spiritual aspects of Easter you can read an article I wrote earlier today: Easter – the real meaning.

The city of Bath, in the county of Somerset, England was where I lived from 1990 until 1997 when I left England for the last time (not long before they turned the lights out it seems). I lived in a small village just outside Bath called Batheaston, set on the slopes of Solsbury Hill. All [...]
My step-daughter Anoushka has turned 18! The photo below shows my wife, Anoushka’s mother, on the right and on the left is Rhonda, my wife’s younger sister. Unfortunately the birthday cake was not large – and we split it into 4! All in the interests of calorie intake restriction! Poor me!
