My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline.
I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy.
I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.
I was just reading about the massive Sahara dust storm now darkening the skies of the south. And the heat wave in the Siberia. Oh yeah, none of it good.
A brilliant, if tragic, sonnet, Geoff.

If only we would pay a bit more attention to the evidence. It’s amazing what we can do when we put our minds to it.

This is brilliant, Geoff, beautiful and poignant, a celebration and a diatribe in one. Every word is perfect.
