    About this ebook

    The purpose of writing these poems was a way of utilising the spare time that I had which came about after retiring. I felt it was a useful way of communicating my thoughts and emotions and a way of continuing to engage or activate my brain and prevent the cells dying, as it is often said “If you don’t use it you lose it”.
