 Update, 18 March 2023

Note to recent correspondents. For 10 years I write and create chronicles. Journalism on the hoof. The old fashioned sort rather like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Borrow Uplanned, never to any agenda. I just set out walking, or sometimes on a bus, and see who I may meet. And we have Socratic dialog I often chronicle. I also write quite good poetry and also do a LOT of photojournalism.

These activities take up half my waking hours for the last ten years. The other half living by using hand tools doing hard work outdoors.  My calling became the truth or the complete falsity on 'environmentalism'.

Presentation if for neurotics. Parents dying of grief trumps all neuroses. It is real
