Broad Thoughts From A Home: November 2014
http://broad-thoughts-from-a-home.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Broad Thoughts From A Home. Sunday, 30 November 2014. Almost exactly two years ago, I met Santa. No, you didn’t read that wrong. It was, truly, only two years ago. Let me set the scene. It was a grey, gloomy, rainy Saturday – one of those days where you get the impression that it’s never going to get fully light – in late November 2012. For reasons which I won’t trouble you with here, I was spending the day, on my own, in Stratford-upon-Avon. I thought, I won’t need to bother with that part of it. Santa ...

Broad Thoughts From A Home. Friday, 10 July 2015. NO MORE WOE FOR JULIET AND HER ROMEO - WRITING THE BOOK YOU WANT TO READ. It's more than thirty years since I first saw Franco Zeffirelli's wonderful 1968 film of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. There wasn't a dry eye in the house at the end, and I came away thinking: This is the world's greatest love story - so why does it have to end so badly? A lot of them didn't really appeal, but one which did catch my attention was Write The Book You Want To Read.
