Plain Sailing

Posted on October 25, 2020 by

This has been an interesting year. Quite apart from the bonkers turn that the world has taken in so many ways since February, I’ve had some new and challenging experiences in Second Life too… Which was unexpected, since after all … Continue reading →

Tree Hugger

Posted on June 4, 2020 by

The longer you’ve been around in SL, the more frequently you’re reminded that the virtual world, like the real thing, is impermanent and subject to change. Over time, you become somewhat immune to people moving on and disappearing off the … Continue reading →

Cyber punk’d

Posted on June 17, 2019 by

Every now and again, I get a little bored with the same old routine and I ditch the sensible hair, the M&S clothes and shun the safe and homely parts of SL. On goes the leather, latex and shiny plastic, … Continue reading →

Bomb!

Posted on April 11, 2019 by

I wandered lonely

Posted on July 19, 2018 by

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

Posted on November 27, 2017 by

Homeless

Posted on November 14, 2017 by

Posted on June 19, 2017 by

Driven

Posted on May 22, 2017 by
