COMMUNICATION is a wonderful thing. Since Neanderthal man first grunted his assent or displeasure at his lot in life, humans have been chatting, writing, texting, electronically messaging or radioing their thoughts or feelings to each other. As for men, little has changed since the first grunt, but for the female…

I LIKE new things; new shoes, clothes, jewellery, boyfriends, houses and experiences. I get bored very quickly and I like to believe that I am continually moving forward, or running away as some may say (but not to my face as I am invariably already out of the room and…

THERE is a void at the centre of our being. The void filters out spreading its tendrils into all aspects of life. People fill this void with many things; God, television, food, love, sex, drugs or alcohol. Families spring forth from loneliness, lovers entwine through fear, religions spin webs of…

THERE’S a scene in the film The Shining in which Jack Nicholson’s character is filmed typing furiously, brow furrowed with concentration, creative juices flowing. On closer inspection it transpires that he has typed the same sentence over and over again, a whole book’s worth of the same sentence, each page,…

A TINGLE of certainty, a flutter in the tummy and a level of persistence only found in the female of the species and suddenly up comes the car park and there, like a curled foetus and bound by rope, broken and hunched lays one of England’s most maligned kings. Richard…

MY son and I were discussing the nature of the universe as we strolled to the Chinese restaurant for our usual, ‘just been paid’, menu del dia. Is the universe finite or infinite? Theoretically if you left Earth on a voyage across the stars leaving from say Houston, would you…

WHEN Alice fell down the hole and landed in Wonderland everything changed for her. Her beliefs, sense of security, certainty of right and wrong and the knowledge that there was a distinct and linear order to the world vanished.  It has been stated by many literary and psychoanalytical theorists that…

YESTERDAY afternoon, at about 3.30 pm, covered in paint and surrounded by folders, sketchbooks, lesson plans and artist biographies, I realised I was happy. It has been a long time since I have been able to immerse myself in something that I feel real passion for (and no, George Clooney…

THAT’S it then; adieu 2012 and bonjour 2013 (pardon my French but I have been reading about King Charles the First, his (alleged) lover the Duke of Buckingham and their disastrous attempts to invade France). Now I love a good reminisce as you all know (or maybe you don’t in…

Stars twinkling in the clear night sky and I’m thinking of goose. Not geese, just a single plump roasted goose.  And small orphan boys doffing their caps at rich gents on a snowy street in London. I am coming over all Dickensian again, which is never good for the soul,…

THE trouble with growing up is that there is never one particular moment when one can say “That’s it I’m a grown up.” Throughout history the age at which one can be classed as an adult has shifted and ebbed like the tide. Tudor women married and gave birth as…

  OFTEN the hardest thing about living in Spain (aside from the brain-numbing Kafkaesque bureaucracy) is the cold, damp winters. In the UK one expects to be cold for at least 90 per cent of the year and wet for the other 10. But when in sunny Spain, the land…

THE other evening while walking home I was bitten by a dog; I’m not a dog hater, even though I often seem to write negatively about the species, but it seems to me that dogs, or more precisely their owners, are a little out of control in this country. Dog…

IMAGINE if life was like a TV show (hopefully not Eastenders) and that at the end of an hour the credits would roll and you could pause and relax before the next showing. As the main character all the action would revolve around you and any peripheral characters would come…

LIKE many a free thinking, free spirited woman I love a good bargain. The words 50 per cent off send shivers up my spine, and a red sticker stuck on a price tag can send me spinning in infantile delight. Like a cat following a pin prick of light I will…
