Sunday Story - I'm dying for a pint

I’m dying for a pint

I cannot wait til Saturday

Its been a hundred days or so,

Without the heaving crowd

And the amber nectar glow.

I cannot wait til Saturday

To see my mates again

And all that noisy banter

Among those so-called friends.

I cannot wait til Saturday

I’ve been locked down don’t you see

My freedom and a well-earned drink

Is my simple little plea.

I cannot wait til Saturday

You don’t need to push or hurry

All civilized table service now

And we can still go for a curry.

I cannot wait til Saturday

Social distance is my middle name

I promise I’ll be careful

I know it’s not a game.

I cannot wait til Saturday

Look I’ve only had a few

And I can tell you categorically

That you haven’t got a clue.

I cannot wait til Saturday

I’m itching for a fight

Just need some drink inside me

To convince me that I’m right.

I cannot wait til Saturday

I’m sure I’ll be OK

I’ve managed work and shopping

So I’ll risk it anyway.

I cannot wait til Saturday

Look I’m telling you I’m clean

I know I’m in your space now

But you know I’m virus free.

I cannot wait til Saturday

Blue lights are everywhere

You might think it’s irresponsible

Not to me, I just don’t care.

I cannot wait til Saturday

I’m dying for a pint

Now maybe you’ll be dying too

All because I didn’t mind.

Well hello there......

Hi, I’m Alex. Just over a year ago I was hospitalised with sepsis. It knocked me for six and forced me to rethink my life priorities. My recuperation gave me a new perspective and a realisation that I had been given the gift of time. You can read my fuller reflections here: https://epichr.co.uk/2019/12/09/adventblogs-its-time/ . When I emerged from hospital I was dealing with a complete change in outlook (no more high powered job for me) so my youngest child* decided that I should become an awesome author, and we set about writing a book. I have to say that the process of collaborating with youngest child gave me so much joy, as well really aiding my rehabilitation, and boosting my mental health. 'Stories matter' is a way for me to share the stories we create together and at the same time to try to do a bit of good for others. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and excited to see where this journey takes us. * Creative...

Woole and McClaw - Invest-eggation over - case closed

So did you guess whodunnit? I won't spoil it if you haven't been following the egg-citing weekly goings on at Foghorn Farm, you can read the whole story below . Now that we have reached the end of the Great Eggscape, I thought it might be fun to think how we could bring the story to life. If you could pick actors to play the characters who would you choose? I was thinking Jason Statham or Idris Elba for Woolfe, and what about Sanjeev Kohli or Martin Compston playing McClaw?? And who would make a great Frank Fox, Henrietta Hensworth or Sebastian Shuttlecock...? Obviously it will up to Pixar or Disney to decide, but please retweet with your ideas! Woolfe and McClaw are now off for a well earned rest. Lockdown is being lifted so where will their adventures take them next.....? Woolfe & McClaw: The Great Eggscape WARNING: This story contains eggs-crutiating egg puns! Chapter 1 – Agents scramble to the rescue The phone rang. In his eagerness,...

Woolfe and McClaw - Chapter 4

This week we are getting to the half way stage in our story. We would love you to submit more of your pictures to bring the words to life. Talking of pictures we have been drawn to the brilliant Grayson's Art Club on Channel 4. Armed with only 3 felt tips and a sheet of A4, I had a go at the 'View from my window' challenge. Surprisingly I wasn't picked! Woolfe and McClaw deserve to be represented by some of the considerable drawing talent that is out there. Take my latest effort. This is Bobby Bacon -looks more like he's wearing a onesie! So please, please keep your drawings coming in, and give Woolfe and McClaw the illustrations they deserve. Now, where were we? Last time Agents Dave Woolfe and Brian McClaw were invest-eggating the egg robbery at Foghorn Farm. They had interviewed the chickens, the sheep, the Bacons as well as Pumpkin and Kye Stables and found not so much as a dicky bird. In Chapter 4, Dave and Brian begin to piece together what few clues they have...
