Hello and welcome to my blog. Nice to see you. It’s another glorious day here on Shoreham Beach and it’s been a delight to see the kite-surfers back in force. I love seeing the brightly coloured kites ducking and diving in the sky. It’s like the wind’s got all dressed up and gone to a… Continue reading…
You would not believe the number of times I’ve tried to publish this blog! My first failed attempt was in my favourite coffee house, Moksha’s Caffe. I re-tried at home and almost succeeded but then the internet crashed. Hopefully it’ll be third time lucky. So, hello and phew. Lovely to see you. I hope you… Continue reading…
Hello and welcome to my blog. Nice to see you again. I’m not going to keep you long because the sun’s out and I don’t want you to miss it. Apparently we shouldn’t be too gloomy about the weather because we’re more likely to get snow at Easter than Christmas anyway. Whilst statistically that may… Continue reading…
Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s lovely to see you again and doesn’t the sunshine make a difference? You can chat with your neighbours now rather than wave briskly as you sprint from car to house.

Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s always nice to see you. Winter is reluctantly loosening its’ grip on the Independent Republic of.. but Spring is making few inroads. I say few because down here we don’t get clumps of snowdrops, swaying catkins and cheerful primroses signalling the change of season. The odd seagull may… Continue reading…
Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s nice to see you and sorry I haven’t been around for a couple of weeks. I promise I’ve not just been sitting around pondering. I’ve been busy, busy busy. After my last blog on Haiti, I thought it only fair that someone on the inside had a chance… Continue reading…
Hello and welcome to my blog. Thanks for popping by, it’s always nice to see you. I was going to start this blog in my normal way and this week was going to tackle the art of relaxation. However, I’ve abandoned that idea because it is so trivial in comparison to the devastation that has… Continue reading…
Welcome to my blog and a very happy New Year to you. I hope it’s a good one. Well here in the IRoSB, it’s snowing. Our snow was a bit laid back and arrived way after the rest of Shoreham’s. It must be feeling a bit guilty now as it’s furiously trying to make up… Continue reading…
