I don’t do Valentines. For lots of reasons. Commercial world telling me I have to tell the person I love that I love them on a specific day and show it through things…no way doll! I will tell my beloved how much I love him every day and I know that the way he enjoys […]
This is a post inspired by a magnificent man – Benjamin O’Connor. When did we cross that line? When exactly did it change? We spent so many years as friends. We explored every bar and museum, every store and gallery, every coffee house and concert hall, every park and every twist of the river. We […]
I don’t like the thought of you being cold one bit. If I had my way I would take you into my arms and warm you. The burning within would radiate and you would be comforted and enlivened by the flames of love. Cold and harsh is the world. I know this. We all crave […]

Does my writing capture the dreamy romantic way I view sex and eroticism? Does my writing convey that secretly I wish I were stunning Cinderella preparing to dazzle a Prince Charming with the tongue of a poet? I love fairy tale romances.
I am sad that summer is fading away so soon. I shall try not to add my voice to the complains of many that 2020 has not allowed us to live to the full. I try to focus on all the good that has been done, the unselfish sacrifices made and the compliance of the […]
I make Ben cringe telling him he is my Mr Darcy and that “Simon” was my Mr Wycombe. (I don’t need to tell you that they are two men who make an impression on the main character Elizabeth Bennett, in Jane Austen’s “Pride & Prejudice“.) Ben is very forbearing. Of course every man wants to […]
