I have been asked to produced three visuals to accompany the reading of three poems at the forthcoming Methodist Conference – July 2013. Considering that listening, watching and doing, are all ways in which we can realise new things, these visuals hopefully provide another dynamic to the text of the poems. The images will be displayed […]
Inspired by “Free Wheeling” and the “thoughts of a welsh brummie” Another, celebration of cycling: Like many, I started cycling up and down along the kerb as a youngster in the early ‘70s. A Mini Moulton, a Grifter, a Chopper and then a Raleigh Sun Solo if my memory is correct. In my early teens I […]
Film or Book? Book or Film? Film…? Book? Which story do you prefer? There’s only one way to find out! As you are probably aware, the excellent book Life of Pi by Yann Martel, has been made into an excellent film. Two different animals!? …what’s the best experience? One experienced over a matter of days, the reading experience is different […]
Absorbed… If you know me you’ll know that music is one of those things that floats my boat. I’ve always had music† in varying forms around me. I, like most, enjoy, value and try to find new ways of seeing through music. However, it’s been a year or so since I valued any ‘specific’ recorded music. […]

After half an hour tunneled into an ebook on my phone, I looked up from the vivid pictures that had been soaking my perception. I’d been depicting experiences and places from my youth and from more recent revelations, that have been stirringly characterised in the book “Notes from an Exhibition” by Patrick Gale. I looked […]
Love, life and the futility of trying to own your love, your life… ‘Birdsong’, ‘The Tree of Life’, and ‘April Fool’s Day’… Well what can you say? That’s why art exists to hint at what it’s hard to say or hard to truly conceive of. ‘Birdsong’ BBC, I read ‘Birdsong’ by Sebastian Faulks a good […]
Elephant Juice As a teenager, I watched the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures. This is a tradition I try to keep up each year. It’s a bit like reading Usborne Guides for children; entertaining, bite-size, palatable info that I find much easier to swallow. This year the RICL was about ‘the brain’, and was entertaining as […]
"more than the heart, the bowel, the knee joint… …more than flesh and blood…" ? I’ve recently finished reading: "April Fool’s Day" by Bryce Courtenay. He’s been a favourite author of mine since reading "The Power of One" in my 20s. "April Fool’s Day" is an altogether different read; a true and rich account that […]
