Poetry is by its nature very personal and often reveals more about the poet than any other medium can. Unlike prose, it is not so closely bound to the rules of language and grammar and can take wings and fly where the muse takes it. My poetry is largely of an autobiographical nature which includes events, people, places in fact anything that has impinged upon my life. My short stories on the other hand can be read as straightforward fiction although mostly they have a basis in fact. As for any wise sayings - some are mine - others come from my father and other wise people. Jokes, however, are few and depend largely on your sense of humour.

This little collection of poems, stories, outbursts and musings is put forward as an homage to Jerome K. Jerome. His book, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, published in 1886, is like mine, a series of humorous articles on various subjects.

The private lives of strangers can be fascinating, as these tales reveal. In them, the strangers are all passengers on the No 13 bus leaving Oxford Station at 1.15pm on a summer's day, arriving some 40 minutes later at the John Radcliffe Hospital. During their journey more passengers get on and others get off and they rarely interact. But behind each inscrutable facade are the joys and fears of complex private worlds and private thoughts. This is a book to dip into. It will, of course, help pass the time on a bus journey or even in hospital but it is intended to give pleasure to anyone who enjoys reading about other people and lives which may be exciting, sad or just plain different. All proceeds from the book's sale are being donated to the Hidden Heroes Fund of the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds which supports staff recognition, development and training across all the Trust's hospitals.
