I was going to share an old song with you by an all time favourite band. Clint Eastwood once commented that the success of his cowboy films was due to the fact that everyone wanted to be a cowboy at some point in their life. The free spirited gypsy of the high plain, answerable to … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I am Listening To Now

My Tribe
Tell your story. Shout it. Write it. Whisper it if you have to. But tell it. Some won't understand it. Some will outright reject it. But many will thank you for it. And then the mostmagical thing will happen. One by one, voices will start whispering, 'Me, too.'And your tribe will gather. And you will … Continue reading My Tribe
Monday Musing
Morning Pogue, I’ve had a week off from writing letters because, well, I just hadn’t got enough thoughts stored away to commit anything meaningful to paper. Sometimes the well runs dry and I need a place of silence to replenish myself. Know that one? Anyway, you asked me a question and my mind has been … Continue reading Monday Musing

Morning Pogue, I enclose a photo I took recently for you to look at. This is a woman who I met recently when I was trekking in Nepal, up in the foothills of the Himalayas. She lived in a village that had only one central source of water, was cooking over an open fire and … Continue reading Monday Musing

Hi Pogue, Another letter of home thoughts from abroad. I’m still on the road and moving through Bhutan, a country that is a complete contrast to it’s close neighbour Nepal. There is a sense of serenity and order with none of the apparent signs of being underdeveloped or the overt poverty that I had witnessed … Continue reading Monday Musing
This day…
Well Pogue, If I told the roads in Nepal weren’t the best I’d be cutting the roads some slack. Honest. We had a seven hour car journey yesterday back to Kathmandu. In England, three hours, tops. It eventually took fifteen hours. Now we were travelling on the main road to Kathmandu but having gone, maybe, … Continue reading This day…
Monday Musing…on a Tuesday 😳
Morning Pogue, I’ve been off the grid doing a trek in the Himalayas. Just a small trek but I was really away from the world and it was nice. Whilst trekking we visited a number of mountain settlements and observed the way the people live. They still cook over open fires, collect water from a … Continue reading Monday Musing…on a Tuesday 😳
