Several years ago I met a wonderful woman, let's just call her 'A', and I fell quickly. We got engaged but sadly it didn't work out and I take my share of the blame for that. She'd had an extremely difficult marriage but I have noticed that her life has become much brighter recently. I am nothing but thrilled for her. She's a great lady who deserves happiness.....this was written for her when we were together.

SENTIMENTAL SONG

I was born in the early 60s when unmarried Mothers were stigmatised and encouraged to 'get rid of...' A series of British movies known collectively as Kitchen Sink Dramas were often built around this kind of domestic drama. I realised much later in life that my parents could have been the subject one of those movies....and that I was, myself, a Kitchen Sink Drama,

KITCHEN SINK DRAMA

First date memories of Catherine, an ex-ballet dancer who I really liked, but she didn't have a thing for me.

RUBY & THE SEA

People are often at their worst on social networks in the aftermath of a tragedy. They don't think, pause, consider or reflect, they simply give vent to their idiotic anger and false sentimentality.

CLOSE TO HOME

In the middle of a second date the lady in question revealed herself to be one of Britain's many ill-informed, curtain-twitching racists. No third date!

PRETTY GIRL UGLY HEART

A rallying cry for a good man.....a very good man.
