Having now added the eBook version of OVDA to my Books gallery, I have again taken to canvas and paint by way of a colourful distraction to weeks of rain – and thoughts of returning once again to the sunny South of France and bright Mediterranean skies. Here’s a split-view moment from last year’s trip […]
Well, after what seems like years of staring at a mountain of notes, I have finally completed my fifth book ‘OVDA – An Airbase for Peace’. A light-hearted memoir of work, comradeship and travel in the Holy Lands of Israel and Palestine – before the hard borders and current humanitarian tragedy. This makes my story […]
I have at last found some new momentum to continue my fifth book ‘OVDA – An Airbase for Peace’. Sadly it has taken the war in Gaza to propel me back into the Middle East and recount my stay during much better times in the Holy Lands of Israel and Palestine. I try very hard […]
Having taken a three week break in the south of France in November just before restrictions tightened again last year, Sue and I had a quiet Christmas but braved all weathers with our coast and South Downs walks. There was so much activity on the beaches and over Christmas everyone seemed determined to greet perfect […]
I must confess that during the past year I have achieved a lot, but not in the form of writing. I suppose that continuous Lockdowns have forced me to concentrate more on physical goals, rather than the mental pleasure of creative writing.

So (ta-rah!), Carte Rouge, Battle Honours and Pablo and Jackson On Tour are now available as updated editions and in both reading formats. I think that Pablo and Jackson as a […]
Instead of getting on with more chapters of my fifth book during Lockdown, it was just nice to get out in the garden after what seemed like months of winter rain. So since early Spring I have kept fit doing manual work of heaving barrow-loads of soil for new raised borders, and erecting a new […]
Having returned from a lovely trip down to Narbonne for Christmas and New Year, and getting back into the swing of things, it seems like I have lost the month of January in a flash! Indeed, looking at the garden, it seems like two months has gone, as the weather is ultra mild and some […]
It has been a busy and productive time, with my graphic novel Pablo and Jackson On Tour now available in eBook format and from this I have taken 12 images with text, and produced a 2020 calendar of the same title. I am very pleased to say that local art galleries and shops have stocked […]
