Howey Doing: Cillit BANG Goes Another Hero!
http://howeydoing.blogspot.com/2014/05/cillit-bang-goes-another-hero.html
Tuesday, 27 May 2014. Cillit BANG Goes Another Hero! Someone to Believe In. Something Worth Arguing For. Sure, he made promises he couldn't keep: "No job's too tough! Well, as it turns out, all this was pretence. A few days ago, a good friend of mine, Bungo McDoggeral, sat me down and explained to me that 'Barry Scott' is actually a fictional cleaning products enthusiast with no established provenance whatsoever. But why would they choose someone without any credentials Bungo - it just doesn't make sense!

Howey Doing: Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse - Investing in My Head
http://howeydoing.blogspot.com/2014/06/gressenhall-farm-and-workhouse.html
Monday, 2 June 2014. Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse - Investing in My Head. I visited the Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse for the first time in ages today. It is a place that I remember fondly, and I wasn't to be disappointed. As you can see from the photo above, it was a lovely day to explore. It is the first day of June and as the sun follows rain, the sap is rising and the buds bursting. Gressenhall 'sings' on a day such as this! Before I share a visual 'tour' of some. A Quick Impression of My Visit.

Howey Doing: Tea and Me
http://howeydoing.blogspot.com/2016/01/tea-and-me.html
Friday, 8 January 2016. Tea flows through my veins. It stimulates my palate, satisfies my thirst, adds a welcome element of ritual to my daily life. It also stimulates my intellect. I am an Open University graduate. My first ever essay had the following intriguing title:. How English is a cup of tea? Earlier still, during the Eighteenth century the Twining family became synonymous with the brew; so much so that the following poem was composed:. It seems in some cases. Kind nature has planned. During the ...

Howey Doing: Handsome!
http://howeydoing.blogspot.com/2015/08/handsome.html
Saturday, 8 August 2015. Even as late as in the Britain of 1964 the sixties weren't 'swinging' for most folk and handsomeness hadn't been invented. If you have any doubt about this take a look at the gallery above. All of these puglys were playing football in the professional British leagues in 1964. Ugly bastards! Wily schemer, Sir Alf Ramsey, duly noted this innovation and, whilst retaining face-aches, Nobby Stiles and Jack Charlton, appointed the immaculate Bobby Moore as England captain. As you will ...

http://howeydoing.blogspot.com/2014/08/finding-wander-as-i-wonder.html
Sunday, 3 August 2014. Frabel - Finding Wonder As I Wander. Here is a short piece based on some notes I took as I wandered along an isolated lane in the south of France* (click on images in order to enlarge them). Nestled within a gently sloping valley. Is a house named ' Frabel. It is a 'g. Te'; a holiday cottage. The nearest settlement is a village called,. Without orientation, I choose to go leftwards. The first thing that captures my attention are the sunflowers left behind from another summer; h...

Howey Doing: Untangling The Twists
http://howeydoing.blogspot.com/2014/04/untangling-twists.html
Saturday, 12 April 2014. My dad died when I was eight, and my second dad died just before I turned eleven. My mum re-married and I had another step-dad by the time I was thirteen - but, although I didn't hate him, I couldn't bear to let him get near me emotionally, as I was convinced that he would die too. so I pulled up the metaphorical drawbridge and hid behind my fists. One of my poems about this period in my life-course ends with the line - ". and I was only as young as I was allowed to be." ...I swu...

Howey Doing: Feeding An Emotion
http://howeydoing.blogspot.com/2014/01/feeding-emotion.html
Thursday, 9 January 2014. I have been asked to write a 'pen portrait' describing my eating disorder: namely, my compulsion to binge in order to feed an emotional need, rather than to eat to satiate hunger. Here it is. I suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a child and, as a result, I sought two forms of escape: one was compulsive exercise, the other was comfort eating. Whereas I grew out of the obsessive fitness the association in my mind between food and comfort has persisted. I'm at an age n...

Howey Doing: Dicing with Death
http://howeydoing.blogspot.com/2015/02/dicing-with-death.html
Tuesday, 24 February 2015. I wrote this short piece recently for the 'Church Crawlers Anonymous' Facebook group. As it generated a good deal of interest I thought I would share it with a wider audience here. Anyway, I'm pleased that this artefact is referenced on the excellent Portable Antiquities website and has been held by many hands over the years during my educational sessions with the public. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What is this blog about? Here ...
