| Because I write exclusively for posterity
and not so much for any publication,
most of my writing is from my
own experience and written in
the first person. On the one hand it
means I'm not bound by
the usual restricting commercial
constraints, like keeping a sly
weather - eye open for a possible
publisher |
Here's a florilegium - a literary bouquet
of 75 florets or flowers - simple little
reminiscences and retrospective thoughts
about my family, my friends, my experiences
and my opinions about the world looked back
upon after a long life. It's a complete mish-mash
of pieces dealing with a wide range of subjects
some of which go back years, but practically
every one of them is accompanied by a photograph
to spice it up a bit. The 'Florets' are arranged
in sub-menus with bunches of twenty-five
pieces of writing accessible from each page.
Up to now there are one hundred short essays
available, but I plan to keep adding to them
as time goes by. A few of them are extracts
from letters which I have written over the
years - some are diary excerpts.

This freedom also allows me certain latitude
in matters of strict political correctness
and style. So I have deliberately developed
a rather aureate style to amuse myself as
much as entertain others.
