Today you have a bonus bunch of four pieces added.
“Largo, Glasgow Fair,1954” is a Boyhood Tale, which is true.
This is a quick read that may bring back memories of Scottish beach holidays when the Sun always split the skies and the sea was warm!
“Dermot the Pig” is a tiny little ode, a poem for Matthew and Ethan. Guess what its about?
“Francesca Allegra” is an ode for our Italian Tutor. Francesca is very special. What a girl!
“Topolina and Nerone” is a cat meets mouse tale. They meet in their dreams, so nobody dies!
This is a 10 minute “read to at bedtime” story.

“Halloween in Aberdeen” is a romantic tale set in today’s world.
“Sealed” was concocted by the Muse, raking around in my past experiences.
I hope you like them.
Any chance of Feedback?

“Hoppity Horace and Henry George at the Birthday Party” is a short story for parents and grandparents to read aloud.
“Pinocchio and Cuccinella” is also a read aloud story, with an Christmas theme.

Although I sing and have an eclectic taste in music, sadly I do not play and instrument.
My friend Donald sings, plays and composes.
How clever is that!
“From a Wheelbarrow” is an open prose poem written as a challenge set by Donald.
“Quiver Ma Knees” and “And the dark rolling seas” are two songs written for Donald, as a return challenge.
I await the outcome.
(A revised version of this website may include MP3 files, so perhaps we may hear Donald sing these songs for us?)

“Diamond Minds” is a fictional story based on my parents. It will however, ring true for anyone left who knew them. Or so I hope.
“Embers” is a different tale, of a love that endured over many long years.
Both are short 12 minute reads.

Yes, do forgive my Germanic Capitalisation!
“High Stepping Boy” is about a toddler ‘escaping’ by climbing a stair.
“Maid in Scotland” was written to mark a birthday and records some special memories.
“Fabulous” tells of the dangers of shopping, for the older man.

Perhaps these should not have been uploaded together?
“Spot Check” is a children’s story about Dupree the Dalmation and Bonnie the Whippet.
“Plaice man” is a story about deep-seated sibling rivalry set against in a Fish & Chip Shop.
“Plaice man” is an adult story, but not too dark, more like Eastenders!

I have added “My best friend” an short open prose poem which tells of a great loss.
To balance it, I have added “Il nuovo migliore amico”, (The new best friend), which tells of a new beginning.
Yes, it is in Italian, but have a look, it should be understandable, I hope.
Both are short.
