Six miles and thirteen thousand steps reversed, the loop's still fine as this quite pleasant circuit is something wholly mine Takes around two hours with a few stops in between to savour once again the views amongst the best I've seen For this is Sussex and my home we share a synergy taking full advantage of each other's company

The grass on the allotment was very long indeed the no-dig plots were overgrown and needed thorough weed but after we had strimmed it it once again took shape so I don't thinks it will be too long now til we make it start to grow some produce for our table and for more to brighten up this place which both Sal and I adore
First, these limericks are not jokes with punchlines. I have chosen this form of poetry for its efficiency. It is poetry – it has rhythm and rhyme. The creative effectiveness of the limerick is the setup and the last line. In five lines, it delivers a message and its brevity allows the author to semantically say more with less, which is my purpose here.
And so it was with week of sun the holiday was true begun and this no brainer not to shun for it afforded hours of fun whether walking or a run many miles with evening done for cooling down and sunset come and no apology for pun afforded by the words now spun the rested and appeased become
Seven years of Star Wars days we've had this little chap the dog of many, many names so let's give him a clap Obi Wan Kinobi is his proper name of course hence 'May the fourth be with you' as he is strong with 'the force' But he has many others to numerous to repeat as he is a very special friend who makes our lives complete
Through a gap in the bushes I spied Shoreham town nestled there under the Downs twixt me and the sea safe there in the lea the bearer of treasure and crowns
These chalky trails on Sussex loam in these green hills above my home are quite the best so many times I will return as they are mine and with a joy I'll shout aloud this is my Sussex and I'm proud
Maybe May will find me on the beach once more as warmer days get warmer and summer waits in store Maybe May will be the one to see those doors flung wide for long days in the sunshine no more the place to hide Maybe May will see these things as they're the thing to do for the fifth month and summer are quite symbiotic too
She is perfect.
rufus breast
her back and wings
cloaked with feathers of burnt umber
She leaves a fledgling
that hops about her still body
I gather it up and place it
under a dense shrub
knowing its chances are slim

Was it my cat?
There are no signs
He too is perfect.
his sleek black and white form
graceful as a panther about the yard

It was back to the loop with a whim and a way as the sun was quite warm on this late April day and I was on leave and the hills were all green and the chalk of the trail is the best I have seen so I put best foot forward with this walk 'cos it's there reacquainting myself with this pleasure to share
There's a green ship in the harbour up the river quite a bit much further on than usual so I took a pic of it Rarely dredged of course these days the building silt means most will rarely venture up this far at Shoreham on the coast A far cry from my yesterdays when every berth was full so good to see the odd one still with time's incessant pull
The Johnny Depp Amber Heard Shit Show (literally) has me re-thinking wedding vows. After hearing testimony of the total lack of self-respect and any respect for anyone or anything on display here, I got to wondering about how these two ever got married in the first place.
