The Hospitable Scots Bachelor: November 2011
http://hospitablescotsbachelor.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
The Hospitable Scots Bachelor. Friday, 25 November 2011. All my adult life coffee shops have been very important to me. I write in them. I read in them and, as regular readers of this blog will know, I have been known to form relationships in them. I cogitate, ruminate, meditate and (once or twice) mediate in them. Sometimes I even drink coffee in them. They are a basic essential of my life. The best thing about Coffee Shops though - let me whisper it ladies - that someone wonderful will walk through the...

The Hospitable Scots Bachelor: SELF PUBLISH..............SELF HELP!
http://hospitablescotsbachelor.blogspot.com/2014/02/self-publishself-help.html
The Hospitable Scots Bachelor. Tuesday, 4 February 2014. SELF PUBLISH.SELF HELP! As a struggling self publishing author you don't expect another writer to make things more difficult for you - still less one lucky (? Enough to have been picked up by a conventional publisher, but that's just what this year's Costa Book prize winner has done. At least that's what I think. Why should they be any more of a risk than a conventional novel? You are probably much more likely to come across an "original voice" in ...

The Hospitable Scots Bachelor: December 2011
http://hospitablescotsbachelor.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The Hospitable Scots Bachelor. Monday, 19 December 2011. THE COLOURS OF CHRISTMAS. One of the things that springs to mind when I think about childhood Christmases is the vivid sense of colour associated with them. There is the red of Santa's tunic, green for the Christmas tree and, of course, what every ten year old's heart yearns for at this time if the year, great expanses of white outside the window - as long as it STAYS safely on the other side of the window. We read cynical, supposedly humorous arti...

The Hospitable Scots Bachelor. Thursday, 20 September 2012. SCOTLAND'S SOUR LITTLE SWEETIE. If they have an aptitude for anything it is for arrogance and impertinence and right at the moment the chief culprit is the Deputy First Minister, Ms Nicola Sturgeon. Her current obsession is enabling gay couples to marry in Church. Nanny.sorry Ms. Sturgeon says:. We are committed to a Scotland that is fair and equal.we believe it is the right thing to do! This is despite the fact that 64% of the people who respon...

The Hospitable Scots Bachelor: February 2012
http://hospitablescotsbachelor.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
The Hospitable Scots Bachelor. Friday, 3 February 2012. Of letting this moment. Slip out of my grasp,. Of surrendering it to time,. Might just be bearable. If it could be vouchsafed. That each time I return to it,. Down through sullen years,. It has not yellowed,. Like old newsprint,. Become foxed, fogged or tainted. With the aura of dead things. Grant it, instead. The vibrance of a shard of glass. And let me forget that. Each time I look. That shimmer and sparkle. Will lead me on. To the inevitable wound.

The Hospitable Scots Bachelor: THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET
http://hospitablescotsbachelor.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-other-side-of-street.html
The Hospitable Scots Bachelor. Thursday, 8 November 2012. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET. For my dear friend Lyn Clements). Was that you I saw last night. On the other side of the street,. Wearing a far away smile. And light on your feet? Was that you I saw last night,. Untouched by Autumn cold? All heartbreak in the past. Now the story's been told. Was that you shining back at me. Between the street lights and the cars,. Suddenly so young again,. As untroubled as the stars?

The Hospitable Scots Bachelor: June 2012
http://hospitablescotsbachelor.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
The Hospitable Scots Bachelor. Wednesday, 20 June 2012. Apologies for the gap in my posts (might have been a relief for some though). I am afraid that I do not even have a good excuse. It's not as if I have been doing anything particularly exciting - like travelling the world or single handedly saving the rainforests! Seriously, though, I was greatly cheered and jolted out of my lethargy by a story about the aforesaid dolphins in my local newspaper. Every year in May they visit the mouth of the River...

The Hospitable Scots Bachelor: March 2014
http://hospitablescotsbachelor.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
The Hospitable Scots Bachelor. Monday, 24 March 2014. The Kindness Of Women ( Poems)". More obnoxious self promotion to start the new week. My humble little volume of poems, titled as above, is now available as an ebook on Amazon. And, somehow, it isn't enough. For her to know that,. Though lost for a while,. They are still nearby. She wants them all back,. The moments and memories. And those who made them. She wants them all back,. Secured together and shining,. Before her dazzled eyes. Do What Thou Wilt.
