#Travel #Journey #Poetry #Decisions
You’ve travelled straight down this road
for what seems like an age
heading for a destination, unplanned
life seems so uncomplicated
following the signs in blue
and passing the trees in green
when all of a sudden – a yellow alert
a fork in the road
One way to the peaks , the other to Wales
Decision to be made
Blue John or Welsh Mountain Stone ?
Roast Dinner or Fish and Chips ?
#Weather #Poetry
Ra passed by his friends the clouds
as the earth turned Northern skies from Day to Dusk
in travelling from west to east
newly formed stratus went pink in surprise
by ra’s disappearance to a temperature rise
out on eastern skies began the day
while in northern skies moon and stars they played
Salford (Via Crete, Zakynthos, and Kos), July 21st 2018
Have Albus backpack will travel….
When i’m travelling, what things do i take for a piece of home
(1) My camera kit
It’s my hobby, and there’s no better time to capture some cracking scenery with my Nikon DSLR.
(2) Diary, Notepad and Writing stuff
When im out taking snaps, it pays to record where i’ve been. I normally keep a travel log of the events whilst im away, and this usually finds its way on to here,
(3) Boiled Sweets / Jelly Babies
I Buy these at the Airport, and they usually last all week.
(4) Paperback / Kindle / Phrasebook
Reading Material for when the beach is out of bounds, the phrasebook helps me with the street signs and if i need any local questions. The kindle also acts as my music box and has a couple of video games on it

#life #travel #sunrise #breakfast #morning
I woke up early this morning, the local wildlife were up with the sun. I’m unaware of what they were discussing….probably breakfast, or maybe football ⚽️ . If anybody knows what rooks , blackbirds, song thrushes, and pigeons talk about over breakfast…please let me know
I spotted two aircraft travelling over the skies of Salford this morning. Don’t know where they were going, but I’m sure it was some place nice and hot. Sun is slowly making its way above the horizon in the east, soon it will be bright and sunny
The soft rolling traffic from the early morning Trafford road makes a somewhat pleasant accompaniment to the sound of the ticking clock. But in what’s now known as a twenty four hour society/world , there’s always deliveries to be made, early morning jobs to get to and work to be done
There’s a break in the quiet rumble of the traffic, as a Motorcycle rider mistakes one of the carriageways for a stretch of the Isle of Man TT race course. It’s awoken the pigeons kipping in the eaves of the nearby apartment block.
Another trail of white crosses the Salford skies as the rumble of early morning traffic continues. The broadcasters will be preparing the news items for delivery about now, whilst out on the waterfront, as the deliveries come in and out of the factories of Trafford park, and noise from The Trafford road begins to grow, feathered residents of the nearby basins are flexing their webbed feet , attending to cygnets and goslings all and pondering the really important issues of the day,
What’s for breakfast ?
particularly important
as things go, the way the tram lines
rails are aligned
as they have to be a certain distance for the
light rapid transport to be powered by
electrical lines
leading off to the destination ahead
Salford 4th April 2018
The world is immense – to most people
Over the water there’s places you’ve never been to
During your lifetime – you’ll experience many a new thing
Daffodils won’t be the only flower you chomp on as you
Let your little toes explore the water (with mum and dad’s help)
Enjoying the nice warm sand in a place thats new whilst
Relaxing under a colourful umbrella.
Down the road blown by the wind
rafts of snow travel quickly
in forms that move like starlings
forward and back, the snowflakes move
till the wind drops, and they land softly on the lawn
deftly floating it’s way out to sea
rickety branches travel across the water
in expectation they’ll
find their way through the salty sea
towards the sandy shore
Salford 19th February 2018
I can look back on yesterday
Ponder my actions
Examine my thoughts
Tomorrow lies ahead
but sat here in the moment
its so far away
Preparation – in a short while
for journeys to come
can ease any last minute nerves
The future can wait
till the sun rises again
when tomorrow becomes today
Peter smiled, as the postie dropped the
Envelope through the letterbox – no more
Rumpus waiting for taxi cabs
Movement around town – was now assured
Indeed , he could go all around the region for the same price
Today, he’ll check out whats happening – Tomorrow, he’ll be there (with his carer)
