FIRE AND ICE
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.(less)

This supplements my academic background in corruption, and my professional background in shipping journalism, to get me in the mood for editing my novella "The Two Eagles," a story of technology, smuggling and freedom.

I've been impressed by the way in which the course has led us into the heart of questions about privilege, and freedom, and heritage. Looting and trafficking are, deservedly, analysed as a nexus of wealth and subsistence.

Highly recommended!

From Chalk to Wine, from Exeunt Romani to BrExit

or : Blah, blah, Brexit. Let’s get some historical perspective

My family and the foodbank are consuming the contents of the Brexit store, so lovingly laid down by me this winter and spring (and I’ve been ashamed to realise how much jam we …ahem. How much jam I guzzle). I’ve also been collecting histories on the subject of Brexit, and think it’s time to break into that store and share it out, too.
