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.

Did you send Dog up a chimney??

Been meaning to ask for ages, do you both plant for scent, colour, structure or the whole three? I like the grid planting idea might have to adopt that idea when space is an issue.

Currently for colour as the Vet has her 30th her in July; rarely scent as Mrs LP has very little sense of smell

I remember reading about the last shin dig for the vet. Les has the same issue with smell. Enjoy your spring flowers🌼

WE try to reuse as much as we can; many go to tool racks and compost bins and the broken ones to ash for feeding the plants
