Posted on September 25, 2020 by Sue Vincent

We had enjoyed two glorious days of sunshine in Pembrokeshire. Drawing back the curtains of a room that had boasted a clear view of the sea the night before, it seemed that the morning would bring us a different view … Continue reading →

Dear Don: Shadow-play…

Posted on September 16, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Dear Don, The ‘Facing Fear’ weekend proved to be uncannily prophetic… and its location has been in the news a good deal lately, used as an example of the heroism of the willing sacrifice of life and freedom. ‘Willing’ being … Continue reading →

Dear Wen: Shadow-play…

Posted on September 15, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Dear Wen: Riddles and Runes…

Posted on September 11, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Dear Wen, Physical/Planetary is a rather startling juxtaposition as my old ‘letter-man’ might have put it. The Cow and Calf incident may have to go down as one of the first recognisable instances of something or someone ‘pulling the plug’. … Continue reading →

Dear Don: ‘Molten-Minds’…

Posted on September 9, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Dear Don, It’s weird, isn’t it…how driving a straight road is mind-numbing, boring and sends you to sleep on more levels than one, while walking the old straight tracks just frees the mind and lets it roam… Perhaps it is … Continue reading →
