A walk towards the winter
A walk towards the winter is a collection of poems about the journey we all have in life, as we get into our winter chapters. Often people have such significant challenges to deal with that they end their life early, people die prematurely, and fail to embrace the golden years, yet many of us get to live a full and fulfilling life. A walk towards the winter discusses the difficult challenges we have and hopefully will allow conversations to begin before its too late. Embrace this space. Check out the Poetcast videos
that shade of blue
Bumped into two American dudes in Northumberland National Park earlier this month whilst walking the dog. They were deep in conversation about suicide, and I overheard an inspirational conversation about one guy who felt imprisoned whilst he was young within the family group, felt imprisoned whilst he was married and felt imprisoned when he became a father. He believed there was only one way out until he met the man he was deep in conversation with and in love with. that shade of blue by Bob Robb 27 Aug 2021 or check out the Poetcast video

and then winter comes
A bit like nature through the seasons, through our life, we evolve. We start as innocents, and then develop and prioritise our values, learn from our experiences and others we share chapters with and the environment we inhabit. Many are transitioning through that journey towards retirement, with apprehension. But why? by Bob Robb 26 Nov 2021 or check out the Poetcast video
Its is indeed a short life we have when compared to history behind us. All we can do is leave footprints for others to follow. Be simply the best you can be by Bob Robb 13 may 2022 or check out the Poetcast video
The accidental blether (a recipe for a memory)
We all have memories of moments that happened during this journey, the friends we gained and lost, the adventures we went on, the meetings for the first time and the meetings for the last time. Sometimes memories are all we have left. But memories will never go out of fashion, lets embrace them, we made […]

Embrace the wonder
We’ll all have good times and challenging times. Everyone that shines a light on your journey through life plays a part in shaping you. We learn from every experience whether good or bad and happy or sad. Some of the worst experiences I have had, have made me more resilient than those good experiences. I once got sacked from a dead end job, for attending a funeral. I was bitter at the time, but frankly, that businesses abysmal decision, provided me with a career opportunity. So if you can, tip yer hat to everyone that has made you, into you. Even the ar$h~~~~.
