New stuff on this web site.
The purpose of this page is quite straightforward - to draw attention to the newest seven or eight additions or revisions to this web site. By that I mean the major additions or revisions. Not the tweaks and fiddlings about that go on all the time.

Light Verse Although David Attenborough is still warbling on, I thought it was high time I replaced my ancient tribute to him in a poem I called Trials of Wife.

The First and Last Letter to his Wife The First and Last Letter to his Wife from Thomas Griffith, the latest addition to the More Words section, is a fictionalised epistolary account of a real event that took place on the old Smalls Lighthouse at the end of the eighteenth century.
