My dream to be in a cottage thatched and pure
Living by the ocean shore
The gentle surf lapping up at my feet
Walking with my Husky along the sandy beach
Mountains behind, across my view
Awake to a morning of sunny dew
Birds soar high, free to roam
This coastal dream to be home
I hear the sea breaking away
Sending me to sleep to dream another day
As I slumber the mountains keep a watchful eye
Majestic centurions since the dawn of time
The sea whispers of ghosts long past
Its companion the mountains long since cast
Of a magical serenity only few ever find
At one with nature, of the heart, of the mind
The sea comes closer to embrace
Ever it climbs…
To the heart
To the mind

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
