RIP Davy Jones

There are times when we are not completely surprised when someone famous passes away.
Tonight, when I heard that Davy Jones had died, I felt numb and that a part of my childhood had died too.
 
I remember, when I was in my early teens, he came back to visit his hometown of Manchester.  This was reported in the local paper - the Manchester Evening News.  I was so excited that he was this close that I decided to take action to meet him. 
I had a lot of guts back then and remember calling up the newspaper so that I could speak to the journalist who had written the story - I used up all my change at the red telephone box near my house to get through to the news desk. 
But I managed it! 
Only to find out that I had just missed the man of my dreams - Davy Jones had gone back to the States.
Total devastation!
The journalist offered to forward any letter if I wanted to send it via himself. 

I wrote and wished and hoped.

I couldn't believe it when a short time later a hand written envelope was posted through the door.
Inside was a picture of Davy Jones himself - A black and white photograph of him riding a horse through a wooded park and smiling at the camera.
On the front of it he had signed it in blue/black ink.

'To Krysia,
With love,
David Jones'

I was made up!

I was one of a million spotty, infatuated kids who had a crush on the cute chap in a band
but he cared enough to bother.

It's a sad, sad day today :-(

Write in order

It's been a while but it hasn't all be a waste of time. 
I have been thinking
and planning.
In fact I've been doing so much thinking and planning that I got myself into a write (get it?) tizz. 
It got to the point where I didn't know which way I was going.
The thing is, that there is more than one subject that I am interested.
However,
those of you who may be interested in Holistic therapy, won't give a hoot whether or not I defeat the evil entity that has taken over the world, forcing us to survive on macaroni cheese and pencil shavings - especially if it is in my own pc.
I have therefore had to defrag my head and get my scribble files in order.

This I have managed to do and am starting with this blog.  As an online note pad/planner/diary/offload-things-that-really-grate, I'll go on and keep all up to date with other projects that I have lined up.

I would like to say a massive THANK YOU to a lovely lady I have never met called Angela Booth who has helped me organise me organise my writing day.

Onwards and upwards... Got lots to do now.
Will keep you posted
