Introduction

During a fortunate life in a spectacular country, faced with the usual complications of everyday existence and human behaviour, thought given to observations, memories, personal opinions and various out of the blue ideas finally led to the creation of this short book of verse.

Sitting quietly in a corner for an hour or two, the casual reader may find a few items of interest as has the author in similar situations over many years - often in the most unexpected places.

Covering a journey from youth to old age adds variety to the poetic stories to be found in this book perhaps best described and discovered by simply taking a little time to read it.
