My head hurts all the thinking done today
no time for air, no time for play
Sacrifices made for a new life to lead
for this is long awaited, what I so need
So as I type, my head all a mess
inspired by images of coast I do confess
That make me want to up sticks now
no more do I wish to kneel and bow
So many people in the same boat as I
so many just want to leave and fly
Life’s not as easy as it used to be
you can no longer just go, hard to be free
Tied are we to bills and conformity
sometimes too much to leave, an enormity
But some are brave and just up and go
no ties for them, no face to show
So off they go with tales to tell
whilst others stay in their own miserable hell
Created by what they were taught
for them a battle always fraught

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...''
