The mad week is fast approaching
Full of chaos and people moaning
Shops are full, as people rush around
Finding last minute gifts all over town
People rush this way and that
Some looked confused where they’re sat
Others look mean, ready for war
Others just don’t know if they can take anymore
Too much pressure just for one day
It’s work upon work with no play
But briefly for that one day to be
An hour or two people are free
Smiley little faces make it worthwhile
Seeing happiness in that small child
In adults too all can be good
With drink, games and song, also lots of food
But all the preparation and hard work does end
All the madness and chaos and money spent
Finishes with a sigh like a dream
Normality comes back fast it always seems
So this year take it easy, don’t go mad
The week to follow is enough bad
Take a deep breath and concentrate hard
Make it good, because the next one is not off far

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...''
