  • Peter's Honey Biscuits
    In his neat little, white painted, house at one end of the village of Trimble, Peter the friendly elf was looking through his cupboards. He had run out of his favourite honey biscuits and he was checking to see if he had all of the ingredients to make some more. To make sure he had them all he had written them down on a list was crossing them out as he found them.
  • Easter Hot Cross Buns
    Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns!
    One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns
    The crocuses have been out for a couple of weeks, the daffodils along the roadsides are blooming, Easter is early and it’s a long time since you could get one hot cross bun for a penny never mind two.
  • The Tickler
    When Alice Weatherspoon fancied a bit of fish for her tea, she didn’t go to the fishmonger’s or the chip shop, she went down to the river to catch her own. Mind you if the river warden were to catch her fishing without a licence it would have cost her a pretty penny, the fines were ridiculous and could be as high as £2,500.
  • Carlin Sunday 2 Carlin Recipes
    Do you remember Carlin Sunday? Carlins seem to have dropped out of favour nowadays. But when I was a lad in the northeast of England, we used to have Carlin peas also called Maple peas, Black peas or Pigeon peas once a year on the Sunday
  • The Battle Of Stamford Bridge
    In 1066 the battle of Hastings wasn’t the only battle that King Harold Godwinsson fought. Less than twenty days prior to that famous battle, he had no choice but to fight another battle in the north of England against an enemy that was as strong and equally as determined to wrest the throne of England from his grasp.
  • Writing For Beginners
    You have a story in your head and you would like to write it down. You want to get it out of your head and onto paper either for your own satisfaction, or for others to read and hopefully enjoy. Maybe you want to write some bedtime stories for your children, or grandchildren. It could be a hobby or local history that you are well versed in and want to write about, or even that great novel that everyone is said to have inside. You have the information, you want to write, but you don't know how to
  • Ivarr The Boneless Ragnarsson
    Ivar known in Old Norse as Ivarr “Beinlauss” possible meaning, bone-loose or bone-less. (Could it be that he suffered from brittle bone disease or was he simply double jointed or could he have been exceptionally tall and loose limbed). What ever his disability was, if it was indeed a disability, it certainly did not affect his mind.
  • London Bridge Is Falling Down
    London Bridge is falling down,
    Falling down, falling down,
    London Bridge is falling down,
    My fair lady.

    So goes the old nursery rhyme that most likely records the destruction of the bridge by Olaf the Norwegian Viking.
  • Was Robin Hood A Yorkshireman?
    As a boy I was brought up on tales of Robin Hood and his merry men, as were my children and now, with a new series on the small screen, my children's children. We also lived for ten years in a small Yorkshire village near to Wentbridge called Little Smeaton, hence my interest in the Yorkshire connections to Robin Hood.
  • Tutimaios The Pharaoh Who Lost A Country
    Tutimaios (Tutimaeus) (Timaus) (Dedumose1)
    Tutimaios according to Manetho was the Pharaoh that lost his country to the foreign invaders known by many as the ‘Hyksos’, although the Egyptians themselves would have used the term ‘Aamu’ meaning in rough translation ‘Asiatics’. While we are on the subject of names in those far off days Egypt would not have been the name of the country. The occupants of the rich fertile lands of the Nile Valley would have called it Kemet, Kem, or the Black Lands.
  • It Comes To Us All
    I received an extra gift this Christmas. In addition to the usual jumper, multi pack of socks and underwear, I received a car washing kit. You know the kind of thing, wash- leather, sponge, shampoo and polish. I think someone was trying to tell me something. Never mind, it was a handy present and I put in one of the kitchen cupboards for safekeeping, I was sure to find it there.
  • Do You Write Short Stories
    If you like me are a member of a writers group, you will probably end up with a lot of very short stories that after a few readings will sit and gather dust in a file. You know the kind of thing, one or two page short stories that are just the right length to be read and discussed in a fifteen-minute slot.
  • Alfred And The Cakes
    For years the Danish Vikings had plagued the various Saxon kingdoms, creating havoc by pillaging and burning. They robbed the monasteries killing the monks and stealing the church gold. But in recent years things had changed, instead of simply raiding, the Danes had come to conquer and stay.
  • Poems For Children
    I write a quite a bit of prose, mainly short stories. A lot of them, but not all aimed at children. But poetry is a different matter, while I have always liked to read and listen to all sorts of poetry. I had always avoided trying to write it, mainly because. One; I hadn't a clue how to go about i
