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. The trouble began on a Monday, as all good trouble does. Jack was patching a fence and humming tunelessly when h...

A Whistle on the Moor

The wind swept briskly over the course moorland, carrying with it the scent of heather and the distant call of curlews. Amid the patchwork of green and gold, a lone figure stood, flat cap firmly in place, his gaze set upon a scatter of woolly dots grazing under the ample sky, though one, inevitably, was nibbling suspiciously at his bootlaces.

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
