Taking a look at the airport departure board
often a dilemma for the most seasoned traveller
unless of course you’re waiting for the right moment
rolling up for the open portal
in time to land at your destination
soft white sands and warm summer waters
taken in the blink of an eye

For years that place in the middle of the sea was
a folly, a place for the well to do’s to admire from their
nice windows of the lakeside apartments
today, its so much more than this – it’s
a place where your imagination can go mad
somewhere you can land your boat and pitch a tent
you’ll think you’re back to your schooldays – some say its better
Could you over come your fears ?
On the day I took this photo – on an island in Greece , i
Undertook a feat, i’d never accomplish
Rallying up a number of steep steps to
Achieve a goal – it made me feel
Great knowing i’d reached the summit and
Enjoyed a cool drink in a nearby Taverna
Manchester (Via Rhodes) , 5th November 2018
As the fire took hold of the wood
I watched magical trails rise high in the air
Releasing colourful patterns in the sky
Rhodes ancient buildings painted
Over by Beautiful light
Created by Ignition – rising over walls and
Keep of the old city , bringing smiles to
Excited children and adults alike
Taking vacations on the island
A reflection.
Sat a cafe bar on a greek island, enjoying fish and chips
taking in the breeze off the azure blue sea and
observing the comings and goings of the day – when
reactions are heightened by two feathered locals
kept company down the marble path by their owner
! i’d tell you what they were – but i reckon you would guess!
If you were
Searching for an idea of paradise – this is it
Lovely long white sands surrounded by azure blue sea
As for food, fish crustaceans and coconuts a plenty
Note – looking for an alternative ? you’ll have to go exploring on a raft – there’s
Deserted waters surrounding this place – Nothing for miles

Remember that piece I wrote about the message washed up in a bottle ? I’ve given it a little thought and wrote what might have been on that rolled up paper!
Sat, as I am
on this deserted isle
I’m sending this message
to make someone smile
Being stuck on this island
isn’t much fun
even though theres blue skies
and lots of sun
so I’ve drawn you a map
and hope you might see
to send out a crew
to rescue me!

A San-San poem – Origins rooted on the Greek Island of Crete
On holiday by a grecian water
I saw a flying insect having some tea
it flew for the pollen from flower to flower
occasionally passing a grecian sun or daughter
it was happy to pass through the flowers this bee
till it was time to head for home
where it spend a passing hour
away from the sun making honeycomb.
Taken from merchant ships, by
Rascals of the seven seas
Every pirate worth their salty sea legs
Admires the prize of jewels, silver and gold doubloons
Some keep their precious horde hidden
Under tropical sands , deserted shores – only
Revealed many moons later by a younger
Explorer, following the pirates charts and maps
location : brain and spinal injury centre, salford

welcome to my little island….
its a follow on to last weeks island exercise where we’d landed and set up a community on the island. After landing and knowing nobody was coming to get us, I reckoned on small settlements made from wood and bamboo, and the solar cells from the rescue boat could power vital equipment (!)
we would live off what we would catch produce and forage, fish, crabs fruits and berries.
