Welcome
This is a place for me to share my thoughts and experiences, my meanderings and musings as I walk through this wonderful world, finding faith and a sense of place. It springs from a desire not to lose those experiences, thoughts and insights which surface through my often chaotic mind.
Rather than a standard blog I am going to develop and transform this site into a digital garden. This format avoids the pressure of having to craft well formed and finished articles, the idea of which stresses me out. It gives me the freedom to post half formed thought and ideas, stuff which I can then return to if I wish and add to later.
You’re welcome to look around and sit for a while. Feel free to wander around, check out the menus or just follow the hyperlinks.and discover the corners of my mind.

The Garden Gate
On Digital Gardening
I keep coming back to this concept/idea. For someone who aspires to publishing my meanderings and musings online it’s odd that I do find writing a struggle. I am looking to create a digital space which is not driven by the winds of social media algorithms or artificial intelligence but a quiet space where there is opportunity to sit and think, to cultivate and hopefully be pleased with what grows here. Like my garden at home I hope there will be plants that will nourish and plants that just delight the eye.

I have started to write new posts after many months. Initially most will focus on my pilgrimage during May 2026 on the Via di Francesco from Florence to Assisi. You can find out more about this by following this link
