After the heights of the Empire State, it was time to do the Christmas bit – Macy’s Department Store. “The Largest Department Store in the World”, so they claim. We could see it from the 102nd floor, so we knew that it was close. All we had to do was head West. Easy. If you […] A quick night’s sleep in the Pocono Mountains and we are off again! We will be back in Lake Harmony soon, but first, we have a quick visit to New York, New York. They say it’s a wonderful town. I have pre-booked a hotel in the Upper West Side and we have our priority tickets […] After two days on the road in our Nissan Oldtimer (nee Altima), we arrived at Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania. The snow was starting to accumulate, it was about 9 pm, and we had to find out where to book in for our week’s timeshare. The first hold-up was the toll-gate, where we had to pay $1 […] If you are old enough, you may recognize the Post title as the lyrics of a Pop song of some time past. Not saying how much time past … We arrived at Charlotte in North Carolina, after a traumatic trip courtesy of US Airways (hereafter known as USeLess Airways.

Lots of photos, some of which will appear when I […] Occasionally, a great little work comes in my direction. This is the work of someone else. But I wouldn’t change a word. Jane’s Garden Quiet little songs she’d sing, to make a winter turn to spring Songs for bulbs, songs for seeds, sung to satisfy their needs Careful spacing, row on row, promised life to […] Not long now. The Christmas Juggernaut is up to speed, rushing ever closer and threatening to obliterate all with un-needed gifts, cheap perfume at extortionate prices, and enough calories to feed the world. You can sit down with a clear conscience (you did watch ‘Children in Need, did you not?) and forget all about those […] I suppose, when I think about it, this web-site is all about words. Stories, comments, poems. Even the pictures might conjure up a word or two. Words are precious. They can do harm or good – depends how you use them. They can be wasted (Judging by the blizzard of spam that comes this way […] When you are a lowly worker, and you do something wrong, you may find yourself ‘standing in the street’. Fired, they usually call it. No job. No references. No prospects. Nothing. If you are encrusted in the ‘top end’ of society, things are a little different. You can lie, cheat and steal. And if you […] |
