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.
Your garden has such a calming effect. I want to go to England and just sit in your garden. And cuddle Dog of course.

The video made me feel as if I was right there. I was tempted to call Dog over for an ear scritch. And the fox is still around! Wonderful peaceful break to my morning.

We’re working out where to let the lawn grow while we decide on the bulbs we want to plant. Well spotted!

I thought, maybe, Banksy had been making preliminary outline drawings.

Lovely, and thank goodness for some decent weather at last.
Do Mr Tod/Ms Vixen get on ok with Dog?

What a serene, gorgeous place, Geoff!
I love the desert, and it has its own range of colors and beauty. But seeing all those vibrant shades of green… it felt thirst-quenching. Hugs.

I agree totally. Every environment has its delights even if some are apparently harsh. But our little rock stuck in the way of the wet wet Atlantic weather is pretty soft and spongy most of the time.

Looks like spring. It used to snow once every 5-10 years where we live, but we had another dusting (the 5th or 6th time this year) earlier this week. You provide us with hope.
