About TanGental
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.

You have a fab garden, Geoff, My dear old Dad would have loved it. We only had a mjni acre at home but he tended to it like a Mother does a baby…He drew diagrams a out every three years to iimprove it and kept it in meticulous order.I recall his roses being the most loved.. Such a lovely hobby. Yours does you credit…x

Always beautiful, Geoff. And here we expect a bit of snow today despite the crocuses popping up to say hello. 👋🏻

We have a sort of cold front threat but I hope any snow follows me to the French Alps next week

Can you feel my jealous vibes as I write to you from a house currently surrounded by our March snowstorm? I look forward to spring, but right about now I am doubting its existence!

You garden is a sight for March eyes in New England. We come in like a lion, and go out like a lamb. We’re still in the lion stage right now…

Yes we use that expression but recently March had tended to enter like a rather under cooked bagel
