  • Tapas

    What follows is an article written some years ago about an experience which for me encapsulated the bemusement of an English person when confronted by cultural differences… I suppose there is randomness in any culture, and the impression is heightened when it is not your own. One can also witness quirky behaviour regardless of country Continue reading

  • Sea Roots

    A relationship with the sea. Aah, the sea. Not the beach. The sea. The smell of salt and seaweed, the sound of the breaking waves, sometimes soft against the shingle, at others wild and raucous against the rocks. Its power, its moods, its life, its mystery. And the sight. The infinite expanse of blue, or Continue reading

Rain, wind, too much time has passed since Summer, and Winter, (pagan, state and/or religious) holidays are too far away… But there is one ray of hope. If you’re English. In Spain we have had the 1st of Continue reading

  • All Hallow’s Eve

    For Halloween: A Micro-story She’s laughing so much her head has actually fallen off. To be fair, it probably isn’t her head. It’s part of her costume. But as she is dressed as a zombie, you could be forgiven for a short gasp of surprise as it happens. The weirdest thing is that no-one else Continue reading
