The Warminster "Thing"
The small garrison town of Warminster, once known for clothiers and wool, is home to a mystery of unexplained events. From strange sounds and mysterious lights to unidentifiable objects (or UFO's) in the sky. Located just 15 miles away from Stonehenge and west of Salisbury Plain, Warminster earned the title as the UFO capital of the UK.

Halcyon and On and On
One of my favourite songs is Orbital's 1993 nine minutes and twenty-seven second track, Halcyon and On and On. The song came out just before my time. I remember hearing it in the car a lot or on films growing up.

The Tool Not The Shelf
Anyone who knows me is aware I am NOT a fan of AI in the arts. Why would I be? I'm a writer. I don't want my words, my ideas, my voice, stolen and credit to someone else who didn't have the patience to write in the first place?

I yearn for a society that has been and gone Or perhaps it never came at all And maybe it never will But it’s there Deep in the depths of dissociation

Was Is Worth It?
Well, well, well. It's been a month since Labour's landslide in the British General Election. Removing fourteen long years of Conservative austerity, corruption and greed. At first, it felt like a breath of fresh air.

To Breathe Again
Took a while, but I'm over it. At least, I think? Maybe... soon-ish? I mean, the bed doesn't feel As empty anymore...

Bad News In A Happy Place. Top Story - July 2024.
We never go out for breakfast - lovely. I wonder, what's the occasion? Between us, salt and pepper. Eggs, sausages, and toast.

Happy Summer Solstice
Ah, summer is almost here! Unfortunately for me, I live in the UK where summer is humid and suffocating, and there is no air-con, none. Nevertheless, this will not deter me and my fellow heathens from flocking to Stonehenge to celebrate summer solstice.

Parade of Planets
I think it is safe to say the first half of 2024 has delighted us with some wonderful celestial sights. With a solar eclipse in April. The Aurora Borealis in May...

Tales of the Aurora Borealis. Top Story - May 2024.
Who knew a solar storm could be so beautiful? Purples, reds, and greens shimmering in our skies like dancing ribbons. Hypnotic and enchanting, the Northern Lights have had us humans in complete awe for centuries. Which got me thinking, what did our ancestors think of the Aurora Borealis?
