A holiday on the Isle of Wight

There are a great many wonderful places to visit if you after a great holiday in England. Personally, I have grown to love the English countryside with its green rolling hills and endless winding country roads. It really is a most engaging scenery that greats you wherever you go.

A truly fabulous place to see while you are on holiday has to be the Isle of Wight, just off the south coast. Isle of Wight Holidays are fantastic whatever you choose to do or see while there. You could go and visit Cowes for the famous sailing or go and see the Carisbrooke Castle Museum in Newport. There are so many things to see and do on the Isle of Wight. You could choose to stay in the Utopia Spa or The Hermitage Country House and be pampered and have a great time. It is all up to you.

Or you could go and spend some time in the Fort Victoria Country Park, which is sure to entertain the whole family. The possibilities are endless as you travel around the island. Perhaps you would like to visit Yarmouth or the Tennyson Monument in Freshwater for the poetically minded. Whatever you decide to do while you are on the Isle of Wight you are bound to have a great holiday in this most English of destinations.

Poetry is alive

I was very pleased the other day when I received the first submission for the new and revamped Ancient Heart Magazine. It was a very good poem by someone called Stuart who became the very first poet to be published by the magazine's new incarnation. I am hoping I might get a few more submissions in soon. So, get scribbling you poets out there!

Funetics

The other day I came across this wonderful program called Funetics. I will tell you a bit about it. Funetics is an early literacy program that parents can use to teach their pre-school children to read through engaging games, activities, songs and fun. This excellent program has been developed by top educators, incorporating research-proven instruction based on phonics teaching theory.

Thir program really iss a great way for parents to get their kids ready for kindergarten; which is always an exciting time. Funetics is a wonderful program for teaching pre-school children and well worth looking into.

Ancient Heart Magazine rides again!

Have a look at Ancient Heart Magazine to see what it looks like. I know I vowed to never get going with the mag again but I just couldn't help it. I love poetry too much and I enjoy editing a magazine. But, I have made serious changes and the twist is that the new incarnation of the magazine is in blog format and submissions are to be made by posting a comment on the last published entry/poem. This way I am hoping to cut down on all the administrative chores that took up so much of my time with the magazine previously.

Have a look as we now have our very first submission in. Ancient Heart Magazine rides again!

Sometimes, whilst browsing the internet you come across a great site and you just want to share it wit others. I am sure you have done this as well. It is even better when you find a site where you can actually make a few bucks in an easy and reliable way. I found such a site and it is called Get Paid to Try. If you sign up with this site you can earn twenty dollars just for signing up. Click here to begin and you will see what I mean.

This great site has loads of offers that you can take and you can try out new products and services and earn money for doing so. There are short surveys to fill out and much, much more. The great thing is that they send out your cheque as soon as you request it, no messing about.

I signed up and found that there were plenty of offers to choose from and that these offers were constantly being renewed and added to so there is always something new to do. And it is a very nice way to earn money. You can just pick and choose what you want to do and earn a few bucks in the process. Great stuff!

Over

A marvel of tenuous delight,
Supreme agony turned frenzied bliss.
Love waits and age and dies
Only to re-emerge a sensual phoenix;
A sphinx of belonging,
eldorado of the soul,
Something at least that is not this.

Written a poem

Written a poem the other day. Why, is that news these days? you might ask. Well, sort of. I don't write much poetry at the moment as many other projects are taking up much of my spare time. In due course I hope this well change again as poetry remains my greatest passion. There is just something about it that appeals to me on a very deep level. I will post the poem in question in the next installment of this blog.

Mr Larkin

For a number of years now I have been meaning to look into the work of the poet Philip Larkin. I really like the dry wit of some of his poems and the fact that he was a librarian at Hull University makes for a sense of familiarity as well. That famous poem about parents and the way they bring up their children is, of course, a winner. But I would like to get to know some more of his poems. A project for the summer..
