Well, this one's down to you Pogue. Another of your imaginative Christmas gifts. A limited edition copy of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince. First, thank you once again. Unexpected and pleasing. What more could one ask of a gift? If you've never read The Little Prince then you need to know that this seemingly … Continue reading Been Reading

Songs to Pogue…what I’m listening to now.
Pogue, So I'm writing away the other day and I just needed music. A fix you might say. Which is unusual as I normally write in silence so I can hear the inspiration (even as I write this I hear you saying, "What inspiration"). I did say "hear it" and not heed it! Anyway, you're … Continue reading Songs to Pogue…what I’m listening to now.
The Observer
Dear Pogue, Here are some thoughts that have been prompted by reading the book I mentioned in the last "Been Reading". I was not very far into it, not very far at all, when I realized that there were two processes going on. I was enjoying the unfolding of the plot and the development of … Continue reading The Observer
Been Reading
Hiya Pogue, I've polished off my first book for the year and have now launched into the second. The first book was a Christmas gift, the giver knowing that I had read the first of this author's novels and enjoyed it. The book Now and Future Witches by Alix E.Harrow is a fantasy with a … Continue reading Been Reading
Monday Musings
So here's a question Pogue. Who is Normal Man? I had a friend when I was in school who, at the time Superman was having some popularity and tee-shirts with the iconic 'S' were being worn, made a tee-shirt with a large 'N' in place of the 'S'. Under the 'N' he printed 'Who is … Continue reading Monday Musings
Twice in a Week!
Pogue, You’ve had Songs To Pogue this week but I couldn’t resist out staying my welcome with a second tune. So I’m standing in my favourite coffee shop waiting for a Takeout because we’re currently not allowed to drink in. Then as I savour the aroma of freshly roasted coffee this noise filled my head.😍 … Continue reading Twice in a Week!
Songs to Pogue…what I’m listening to now.
Well Pogue, The first song of a New Year, a new play list and I’m going to bring you an artist I’m sure you won’t know. A song with some Indian influences because, well we are a blog without borders😎🎷🎼🎵 We will spend the year exploring different music and smiling. So here to start you … Continue reading Songs to Pogue…what I’m listening to now.
Monday Musings
So Pogue, My first post of the year, aside from my Musings of course, declared that we live in a world full of potential. It's all about us. Heaven is breaking in whenever the chance presents itself. Yet so many live such poor lives. Not necessarily monetarily poor, but obviously that exists. Rather with no … Continue reading Monday Musings
New Possibilities
Well Pogue, We have just celebrated Christmas which, apart from being a wonderful opportunity to over indulge, is the actual recognition of an event. The coming of Christ, or to unpack that just a little, God choosing to take the form of a man and to live a in the backwater of the world. Now … Continue reading New Possibilities
Songs to Pogue…what I’m listening to now.
So the years coming towards an end Pogue, I might only get a couple more musical moments in🥺. Best make the most of them and there is so much I want to share because, well, music is the heart beat of life (?). Ok a little dramatic but you get my drift. I looked back … Continue reading Songs to Pogue…what I’m listening to now.
Monday Musings
Hey Pogue, It's Monday morning. So, humour me while I take you back a few years. It's to something that you probably have no interest in. It's to a football match, a Champions League Cup Final way back in 2005, between AC Milan and Liverpool. Hang on in there with me, I know you are … Continue reading Monday Musings
Songs to Pogue…what I’m listening to now.
Pogue, Here something super smooth to slot into your day. Just find a quiet place and feel the music. Music with a mood on a Friday. Set you up for the weekend, nice and good. Like Sand by Marie Dahlstrom. Enjoy, because I am as I sit and watch the snow out of my window. … Continue reading Songs to Pogue…what I’m listening to now.
Monday Musings
Pogue, I came across this and offer it to you for your Monday Musing. I say “Namaste” because I like what it means, not because I’m a Hindu... A lot of people think I’m a Christian because I talk about Christian values, but the truth is I am really talking about Human Values... I’ve been … Continue reading Monday Musings
Songs to Pogue…What I’ve been listening to.
So Pogue, The last letter I sent you was titled ‘Affairs Of The Heart’. Well one thing led to another as things are want to do and before I had even put my pen down I’m remembering a song from back then. I know, it’s my curse, but it keeps me smiling. Why did I … Continue reading Songs to Pogue…What I’ve been listening to.

How’s things Pogue? New week already...and it’s raining here. So I’m stuck in doors 🚪 today. But that’s not an issue because actually I’m not. You see we all have a superpower but not so many of us use it. We are all gifted with an imagination which can be the most wonderful of things. … Continue reading Monday Musings
Songs to Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
Hey Pogue, How’s life? You know what we haven’t had on pour music posts yet? Think hard. I know we’ve had some great sounds BUT...we haven’t had any soul. Everyone needs a little soul in their life for sure. Especially that easy smooth type that has you sliding elegantly around the kitchen. So here’s a … Continue reading Songs to Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Dear Pogue, It’s said that we don’t appreciate things in our life until they are gone and there’s truth in that. We only understand plenty once we know lack, and companionship after we’ve greeted loneliness. I could go on with a list but I’m sure you’re there before me. But have you ever thought that … Continue reading Monday Musings
Songs to Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
The other day I found myself bopping up the street. The neighbours think I’m eccentric I’m sure...and that’s the kind ones! The reason I was behaving so was this piece of music that had come on my headset. It’s on my snowboarding playlist and I always play it when I go snowboarding. It just fits … Continue reading Songs to Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
Songs to Pogue…what I’m listening to now.
Pogue, In the continuing of your musical education I’ve chosen a song by Martyn Joseph, which came out on an album way before you were even a twinkle in anyone’s eye. It’s a heart felt song from a singer who always had something to say and a way of getting it over. Today’s song I’ve … Continue reading Songs to Pogue…what I’m listening to now.
Law 2. Vibration.
Dear Pogue, Well I hope you got your head around the first Law. Here’s the second. Everything, absolutely everything is energy, which includes you and I. That’s not just what you can see but also what you can’t see. Your thoughts are energy, your emotions and feelings are energy. The clothes you wear, the desk … Continue reading Law 2. Vibration.

Hey Pogue, Here a song that you introduced me to way back. You remember? So I thought I would revisit some of our previous music experiences and do a little Saturday morning nostalgia. Gotta make you smile. You were doing your A levels when you were playing this. That’ll bring back some memories. So here’s … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…what I’m listening to now
Musings on a Monday
Pogue, I wrote you about “The Gift” last week, then I read what someone else said and thought, yeah, he’s got it.Wic
The Gift
Dear Pogue, You and I have little problem giving each other things. Gifts. You'll agree that it's nice to receive something especially if it's unexpected. Flip the coin and I think it's always uplifting to give a gift that is well received and, I believe, brings as much pleasure as receiving one. But not everyone … Continue reading The Gift
Songs To Pogue…what I’m listening to now
Hi Pogue, Continuing my journey through little and less known artists and tracks I have come across this. And I'm liking it. Bonny Light Horseman. Go on, you haven't come across this artist, have you? He puts so much feeling in the song it really caught my attention the first time I heard it. Great … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…what I’m listening to now
Unharnessed Potential
Hi Pogue, How are you enjoying the new idea, the music posts? I met Carole the other evening and she was telling me how she had enjoyed the first few. She was really enthusiastic about the blog. Made me smile. Strange how I post you these letters and so many others read them, regularly. But … Continue reading Unharnessed Potential

Hi Pogue, Here’s a morning song to start your day. You know what they say. Win the morning, win the day. High five that! And, it’s chosen with our blogger friend, Nopassingfancy, in mind as how many posts has she written in the morning over several cups of coffee? I say again, win the morning, … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…what I’m listening to now
Songs To Pogue…what I’m listening to now
Pogue, How did you enjoy our first tune? Well here’s the second. It’s a favourite by Amos Lee that you may know. Flower from one of his early albums. If you like it you might want to try Windows Rolled Down from the same album. Two great tracks, and you get two for the price … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…what I’m listening to now
The Secret Chord
Dear Pogue, There was a time when I listened to the music of Leonard Cohen on a regular basis. My friends would joke, as we sat on late evenings, that it was music to commit suicide too. I must admit that some of his lyrics were rather stark and a little dark but he wrote … Continue reading The Secret Chord

Pogue, We have been sharing our thoughts in words for a while now. I thought I’d like to do it in music. We have a new category in our title bar! Today I’m listening to Vance Joy. Give it a try and feel what I’m feeling. You might have to skip the ads...sorry. Singing along, … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…what I’m listening to now
Soul Food
Dear Pogue, I was thinking how much I had just enjoyed riding my motorbike in the sunshine. I rode through miles of countryside and even saw a kite hovering above the road. As I reflected I said to myself: “This is Soul Food”, which may have been an expression that I had just invented, but … Continue reading Soul Food
