About this listen

This is a sanctuary where I keep my reflections and musings about my countryside upbringing in Derbyshire, England. I reflect on village life, school days, growing up and most things inbetween, including parts of life which we all face such as “The Joys of Ageing” and “Getting through” difficult times.

    If you are in any way a twitcher, this one is for you.

    In this poem I take a look at the many birds that visit in and around my garden and the delight my husband and I find in watching them. From the Bluetits, to the Thrush and Blackbirds, not forgetting the Owls who call in the nearby woods at night along with the Buzzards and Hawks that soar above. They all bring us joy and a special kind of peace as we watch them on the feeders and in the nesting boxes.

    Watch With Mother
    Feb 11 2026

    I’ll bet that many of us of a certain age can remember “ Watch with Mother” and the various characters we met back then!

    Simple programmes, peaceful, no horror or gore, just simple rules of life for simple times. Happy Days!

    Isn't It Ironic?
    Feb 4 2026

    Irony is a fact of life and we have all experienced it!

    From the fantastic summer holiday which we have looked forward to for ages, being rained upon whilst the sun shines back at home, to the guy you have idolised for months who turns out to be a real disappointment.

    Often the simple and spontaneous things turn out to be the best things and not the ones we get time to build dreams around, but when all is said and done, you just have to laugh at life’s ironies.
