Lighting the candles and pouring the lotions.
Switching off TV’s and shelving resentments,
Checking on children asleep in the darkness,
Creeping   up hallways   like teenage lovers.
Stairs and hopes creaking...

I Love Sweet Tender, Kisses That Beg More

I seek not perfection nor world's bright gold
in my waking, I beg pardon from thee
each new day, across fertile fields I strode
I drink black coffee, add honey...

A big welcome to you all who’ve travelled from afar
By plane by boat and motor car
For a reunion here in Hodson bay

Dedicated to: Terrence Michael Sutton & his wife 

I've been to hell and back since I was last here 
Now pondering none of previous pitfalls and fears. 
Seemingly waking up each day from a dream...

Of European descent, from whence they came

Across the borders to settle, re-establishment

Angles, Saxons and Jutes – Anglo-Saxon be known

Conquered lands, such roads have served, that of the Roman Empire

Yet under attack, strong order we lack

Helpless...

Don't cry my dear, your tears will make
me weak; Be strong, those tears will break
me from inside; Don't cry my dear

so nice to sit in towns garden to relax

In Suffolk where the barley grows,
Its said that folks have seven toes, 
And 'round some parts of Sutton Hoo,
They've grown an extra finger too!
They're banjo players one and all, 
And tractor drivers but that's not...

You have been accused, no more do we need
Point the finger at mother and daughter
Two Sutton girls with no chance to be freed
An impossible test, trial by water
They think you are spawn of the devil’s...

Itchy Fingers?

I don’t mind dying in a nuclear war.
As long as it’s quick, not a lingering bore.
It’ll give the elite a chance to see the cloud.
Kill off the plebs in a crimson shroud.

1600 Sutton Lane had not seen people for years
expect mice, raccoons, maybe squatters
why do this?
Why? Why? Why?
