A never-forgotten experience turned into a story This is a short story; an experience. It came to me a long time ago and I remembered it as I awoke one morning. It is based around a place that became very familiar to me through one very special person in my life at the time. It is written in the first person singular, so it might take a short while to adjust to the writing style. Seeing as “The Meadow” has now been written, I thought it was appropriate and worth sharing, although this is a very different story.   DEAD  [ Read More ]

FROM WIKIPEDIA “Hartlepool is a town in the ceremonial county of Durham, and is part of the Tees Valley economic area in the North East of England. It was founded in the 7th century AD, around the Northumbrian monastery of Hartlepool Abbey.

A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not. – Ernest Hemingway Meet Holly — our cat It’s strange how we sometimes first meet up with our beloved pets.  When you look back, ask yourself did fate really take a hand in this? Holly is a black shorthaired female. I recently acquired her from a Cat Protection organisation in 2004. She’s now 12 years old. Apparently her previous owners gave her up on account of moving to a place where pets weren’t allowed. The organisation told me the  [ Read More ]

. . . . From the student’s point of view So why should you blog? I’m wearing my student’s hat today. Although I’m mature in years, I’m still of the opinion that blogging is the most effective way to express yourself in practical terms. From the student’s point of view it is imperative not to create a blog page and treat it as a personal diary. That is what will happen unless he or she has gone to the bother of learning how to blog in an effective way. The article below, although specifically aimed at the student will apply  [ Read More ]
