What’s in a name?

Posted on June 13, 2018 by

I travel a lot, an awful lot, and I’m frequently puzzled and intrigued by the names of many of the places I pass through. Quakers’ Yard; Devil’s Bridge; Hope; Hobbiton (OK, maybe not that last one!)… Evocative and sometimes perplexing … Continue reading →

Off Grid

Driven

Posted on January 9, 2017 by

Eight

Bombed out

Posted on November 7, 2016 by

My journey home today took far longer than planned – nothing unusual in that, except the reason for the delay was a little more exotic than usual. Forget ‘leaves on the line’, ‘the wrong type of snow’, ‘missing train crew’, … Continue reading →

Driven!

Posted on October 31, 2016 by

Charlie had been waiting for the telltale thud on the front door mat all week. Barely able to contain his excitement, he tore downstairs, three at a time, and was at the door in seconds. There, lying amongst the usual … Continue reading →
