In a none alcoholic capacity it is Tea, after all I am an Englishman. Fizzy Drinks I am not so big on as they give me wind. I do like … Continue reading Share Your World 17th September 2018
Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong. Hark! now I hear them,—ding-dong, bell- William Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act 1 Scene 2 … Continue reading Full Fathom Five

A bit of a concern considering that I … Continue reading Share Your World 13th August 2018
