Who am I?

I'm just a simple soul who enjoys sharing my thoughts with others – I’m, but a Nobody.

I have literally opened up my soul in my writings. Those who read my books will come to know a bit about me. Those who thought they knew me would also know more about me.

I am simply what I am, or I begin to be that. I live in the present. I only remember the past and anticipate the future. I love to live.

Henry David Thoreau

An Amazing Lady of the UK

Have you ever met a lady from Putney
Who lives in an exquisitely-furnished, Victorian mansion
With an Eden-like garden of cherry, apple and fig trees?

Have you ever been invited to her Oxford Road home
And feted to a totally scrumptious meal
Of pudding, Briyani, Masalla chicken and Cornish pastries?

Have you ever been asked to try her home-made liqueurs
And spend a few hours sipping bottles of her fantastic collection
Of Apricot Brandy, Crème de Cassis and Crème de Framboises?

Have you ever felt her sincere friendship
And come away from her pleasant company
Of warmth and new-found camaraderie?

Well, I have, and for the very first time
And I'd like to shout "Wow!"
She’s treated me so well.

My friend is one...who takes me for what I am
Henry David Thoreau
