      Mar 9, 2022

      I used to hate it when contemporaries would say: ‘At our age…’ This observation always preceded some gloomy admission – that they could no longer dance the night away, get a good night’s sleep, enjoy sex, get a man to look at them twice or perform a

      Speedboat

      Mar 24, 2022

      Nobody died that year. Nobody prospered. There were no births or marriages. Seventeen reverent satires were written – disrupting a cliché and, presumably, creating a genre. That was a dream, of course, but many of the most important things, I fi nd,

      BECOMING INVISIBLE... And Loving It

      Jun 17, 2022

      ❛Here, your wrinkles look like a spider web, Gran,’ my eight-year-old granddaughter offers one day. We’re sitting on the garden swing together, and she’s closely examining my 59-year-old face. She traces the spider web under my one eye with a forefin

      Come the Renaissance

      May 20, 2020

      I’VE escaped from the Abbey. Am I skipping up the drive back to the house, swinging my guitar case and trilling I Have Confidence in Me? Not so much. Bit more Fidelio, if I’m honest: creeping, wan, unshaven, shielding my eyes from the unfamiliar sun.

      Aug 21, 2023

      By the time I was 25, there were only two things I remembered about Mumma. The first was that she smelled of watermelons, the second was that we were happy. We’d taken our father’s name of course, but a name is only half a story. The other half exist
