Conversations

All comedy is based on tragedy. That is why we laugh at somebody who makes a mistake or trips over the carpet. We smile, thankful it is not us!

We cannot allow the worst in life to triumph so we must find a perspective to give us hope to carry on, and that perspective is Humour. So I hope that my ‘Conversations’ with you brighten your day a little or bring you peace in a troubled world.

The people I write about are thought of with the deepest affection and respect. They can be considered as ‘Nature’s Casualties’ of which I am most definitely a member and count myself lucky to have been amongst such a motley, and distinguished, crew. They include from Civil Servants to men and women of the soil. I have enjoyed both ends of this spectrum and learned much from all of them.

So happy reading everyone!
