Picture of the Month

The image below needs no explanation. I have added colour to the doll to emphasise the all-consuming bleakness of battle ravaged France and Belgium during the Great War.

A Ghost Story - Smugglers’ Haunt

Some years a ago I wrote a ghost story for the magazine of the Sandgate Society. In it, I mention our dog, Honey. We lost Honey last year and, as a tribute to her and to faithful pets everywhere, I have pleasure in presenting the ghost story to you. Click HERE

Snowdrops!!!

At this time of year, the Snowdrops provide both a reminder of winter and a promise of spring. Have a look at some photos from Goodnestone Gardens, Kent, taken last weekend.

Soon be time for Daffodils and Bluebells. I’ll try and get some pics and add them here. After all, even the Coast of Conflict has its peaceful side!!
