As I write there are many news items about hurricanes approaching the Caribbean and East coast of America. This made me wonder, is this news? Every year there are hurricanes that charge across the Atlantic hitting the Caribbean and East coast of the USA, we know and have known about these natural phenomena for ever […]
Putting your foot in it… guilty. Deliberately putting your foot in it… really guilty. How many times has the guilty verdict been announced by me to me, often! There are some broken eggs I can talk about. In fact some are in the public domain, shared with family and friends. As I reflect on this […]
When I was just a boy growing up the Welsh Valleys, me and my mates always loved going out onto the Graig behind our houses. For those of you who have no idea what ‘the graig’ means, it was a piece of common land that went from my village of Aberbargoed across to the next […]
“Who do you say I am?” When I’m describing someone, age, height, and colour come to mind then I move onto characteristics, nice smile, sense of humour, shy etc. Sometimes when I have had someone described to me I’m misled when I eventually meet the person, they don’t fit the description, forcing me to make […]

Have you seen the white man? I was ‘up country’ in the mountain region of Sierra Leone. It is a country I love and have many friends who live there. It is also a country that suffered from many years of civil war and insurrection. The people suffered terrible atrocities at the hands of ‘rebels’ […]
With hindsight we could make this world a better place. Our decision making would become sharper, life would be fuller and we would all be better off with the wisdom generated by hindsight. Life would be great. If only! Many times I have said ‘If only with hindsight’ …. Would it only be wrongs I […]
I have two passions in life (that is apart from my family)—following Jesus and Welsh Rugby. One of these passions brings me unbridled joy and a purpose to life, the other brings me ecstatic joy in the moment and a fair bit of disappointment along the way. I do believe that being a Welsh Rugby […]
