My son-in-law was feeling pretty rough this morning but had to go into work anyway as he is on a course. My daughter posted this on Facebook! "E woke up to the sweetest surprise this morning. In the galley (they live on a couple of canal boats)was a homemade envelope containing several pounds...

Does anyone on this forum suffer from tinnitus? I have had it for over 30 years now, but it has got worse in the last 10 years. I can hear it over the sound of the traffic when I am driving! I wrote this poem a few years ago. Unremitting Resonance (For The Suffers of Tinnitus) Pulsating...

My husband suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage in December 2006, which has trashed half his brain. The surgery perform on him at the time has damaged his brain further. We were not informed that it would be the case, before it was carried out! Although we were told that it would leave my husband...

My work is abstract and people seem to like it. Although it is nice to sell a picture, it is far nicer to create one for free to make someone happy. As my work it digital I can send it all over the world to the people who have asked me to create a picture for them. All I require is the colours...
