Roger Hardy is an aviation man, pilot, designer and latterly, safety regulator. He was born into a Royal Air Force family just before our noble Monarch ascended the throne and has worked in the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany before finally settling in Portugal. He is European by instinct and inclination and currently runs his guesthouse business in Carvoeiro in the Algarve (www.casaluiz.com). He has two grown-up children and, having completed five novels, has set sail into eBook waters. Outside of writing, he can get a trifle boring on the subject of the operas of Richard Strauss, given half a chance. In addition (and we don't mention this in polite company) he restores old Dinky toy aircraft from the 1930s and 40s.

The ignorant are ruling the world

Whenever you turn on the TV news you wish you hadn’t.  It seems that all over the world, our leaders are turning into morons before our eyes.  I should say that I exclude most of the EU countries from this sweeping generalisation as most of them seem to be talking sense right now and that’s probably because they are a cooperative with largely common views and self-interest.


The US is sliding toward

Nelson Mandela
“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.”
Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom: Autobiography of Nelson Mandela

Isaac Asimov
“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”
Isaac Asimov

Ernest Hemingway
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
Ernest Hemingway

John Milton
“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..”

J. Krishnamurti
“You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti
