It was with this in mind that, at the end of November last …

The Greatest Fight In All The World / A Post About Meaning…

[Note:  The story that follows is, in part, about a boxing match.  Now I don't know how you feel about boxing.  You may love it, or you may feel that it is the height of senseless brutality.  I can see both viewpoints.  But this article is not *only* about boxing so, however you feel, read …

Rock tunnel in Ireland.
Tonight, I went to an opening at the #EdinburghPrintworks . . This is a series of monoprints by the very talented Anna York.
