The Woolly Wisdom of North Yorkshire

Image
There’s a saying in North Yorkshire: “If it’s not drizzling, it’s probably raining.” For Jack Trelore, humble sheep farmer and part-time philosopher, it seemed there was always a cloud overhead – quite literally. His farm sat on the edge of a moor that rolled away into heather and fog, with his sheep, wife Mary, and sheepdog Bess, and the odd hiker for company (not necessarily in that order, of course).  was a practical man, fond of strong tea, strong opinions, and, above all, order. But where there is order, there is always the lurking threat of chaos. Enter Molly, a sheep of such unbridled spirit and insubordinate fluff that the neighbours whispered she was the reincarnation of a circus performer. From the day she arrived, a tiny, belligerent lamb with a shock of wool like a haystack struck by lightning. Molly had made it her mission to challenge every expectation.

WELCOME

Hello and welcome - How are you today and what's your story? There are many parts to all of us, though there is probably a theme running through us. I am a grandad and over 65. However, I didn't feel - in my head or my heart, that I was creative till much later in my life. Nowadays, I get excited about the new things I discover about myself. Exploring the universe, things seen and unseen. Learning to love all things/ people, (and myself). Writing has become a thing with me, be it short stories, poems and a couple of novels. Inspired through events, experiences, family, friends, and work.  Retired from general employment, but busy with private clients as a Well-being Coach (NLP master practitioner). Do come in - and explore a little further - who knows what you will find? Contact John at: innershell.01@gmail.com
