Poetry

My 2nd poetry book Tunnel Tales is now out in paperback

New Year's Eve at the mighty L'Opaline restaurant in Beverley, New friends, new foods and the amazing Helen bossing the front of house seamlessly,

This time the Indian flavours of L'Opaline come to the fore as we attend the Wednesday night Biriyani Feast. A treat for the senses.

A poem inspired by the article written by Will Pavia in last Saturday's Times newspaper. He talked about picking the last movie to watch with your dad. This inspired me to write about the loss of my father and son nearly thirty years ago

A poem to celebrate an early Father's day trip to see the most excellent Choir of Man at the Arts Theatre. Superb show and a wonderful day of Father and Son time, made even more magically with pictures shared on my new 11 week old Grand daughter.

A poem to celebrate the first Sunday brunch at L'Opaline in Beverley. The new creation of MasterChef winner Eddie Scott which features a mix of classic French and modern Indian flavours.

A poem in celebration of mental health awareness week. This year the theme was keep moving, showing the important link between mental and physical health.

The night before a family wedding, we waited in the pub and got chatting to delightful people. Seemed a memory was fitting.

A fabulous day in SW19 meeting great people and watching two of the best matches. Philip the "King of Condiments" added that special sauce that made the day magical.

We met Emma at the races, mixing up cocktails and she told us the story of her fabulous Phoenix Tattoo. So good it was worth sharing with you.

A day racing on the Knavesmire at York on June 16th and we met the delightful Rafferty and his parents while cheering on a few winners.

We met the most amazing pair of 11 week old pups in the Black Lion on Sunday, along with their humans. A few words seems a good idea to capture the mood.
