Noise

There is so much noise. It’s not merely the demands of a workday – meetings to attend, proposals to draft, reports to write, talks to give – nor is it simply the many, many temptations and trappings of social media – another Facebook friend’s latest status update, another photograph captured, cropped and sent out to …

The Cotswolds

. The Heart of England This is not a guide to the Cotswolds. This is not a guide to Stratford-upon-Avon and Bourton-on-the-Water and Moreton-in-Marsh and Chipping Campden and Stow-on-the-Wold and Winchcombe and Broadway. This is not a guide to all those little towns and villages. This is not a guide to the famous Cotswolds stone, …

London

. London Calling London’s calling. Heathrow, here I come. The plane soars from Changi and our vacation begins good and proper in the air, I think.

Fried Chillies & Feisty Chicks

. The ladies, they do, of course, spice up your life.

Women made of iron, of steel, sleek and shiny but never cold …

Chanson

. It’s Friday the thirteenth. Not a good number to start our night off with but tomorrow wouldn’t do. They say Valentine’s Day is for lovers, but not when you have your own spouses to attend to. We have to be careful. I abandon my car, and take public transport instead. The train. You pick …

The Lady from Shanghai

. “There’s only one sun,” he says. She nods her head, not catching his meaning nor caring much either. It is enough that she is kind and patient. These sorts give up after a while and move on, further down the bar where it may be easier to land a catch, and sure enough, they …
