The Essay
Created in 2017
I’m not good with words and I hate writing. If you don’t believe me, ask Mr Jones, my English teacher. He sets us essays. When I hand mine in (when I do them) he says, “Tom, Tom, Tom, when are you going to develop your ideas? Look at this. Eight lines. It’s even less than last time.” © Copyright Peter Wrigley 2017
Bus Lady
Created in 2017
Alice Drinkwater was 78 when she started her first internet business. She ran it from her tied cottage where there was no broadband connection and no mobile signal, no mains electricity, no gas or mains water. Alice was stubborn, determined, astute and creative, and her energetic nature belied her age. © Copyright Peter Wrigley 2017

During a period when I had absolutely no idea what I should be aiming for or what the future held I was pondering this emptiness whilst... "No, but God does." ... (C) Copyright Peter Wrigley 2016
The Mark
Created in 2016
This story was prompted by my wife noticing what she thought was a mark on my jeans but was a button on a pocket flap. She said, "I thought it was a grey smudge." Simultaneously we both said, "Grace Mudge." An hour later I had the story line. The historical context is factual but the story and characters are fictional. (c) Copyright Peter Wrigley 2016

Walk from Lundy Cove
Created in 2016
South West Coast Path walk in Cornwall: Lundy Bay NT Car Park to Kellan Head and return. I had walked this section of the coast path before as part of a longer walk from Polzeath to Port Isaac. On that occasion I had been thwarted from exploring the beach at Lundy Cove by the high tide. Low cloud had drifted in from the south west, bringing rain and veiling the landscape. This time I had planned my walk around an exploration of the beach and it depended on the state of the tide. Clear weather would be a bonus. © Copyright Peter Wrigley 2016

Rooted
Created in 2016
The ability of trees to use the Winter season to their advantage is amazing. During their dormancy they save energy, not making new food. Some deciduous trees even remove nitrogen and carbon from their leaves before they shed them, storing them as proteins in the roots and inner bark to help fuel spring growth. The lifespan of trees is increased if they are allowed a period of dormancy... Winter quiescence--resting but ready...What a parable for us when we find ourselves in a waiting season... © Copyright Peter Wrigley 2016
Bodigga Cliff to Portwrinkle, Cornwall
Created in 2015
Bodigga Cliff, east of Millandreath, to Portwrinkle, Cornwall. This walk was defined by the eastern limit of a previous walk from Polperro and the western end of a walk from Cremyll to the top of the hill above Portwrinkle. The coast walk itself was broken up by a detour around a cliff fall and by a bus ride. The cliff fall near the Monkey Sanctuary above Keverall Beach has resulted in the closure of 1¼ miles of the South West Coast Path, most of the detour being along a road. Boring! ... © Copyright Peter Wrigley 2015
The Boat
Created in 2015
The boat was unbelievably small. I stared at it, pulled onto the stones, as vulnerable as a seal pup. Its white hull was just out of the reach of the waves that crashed into the tiny cove. Everything seemed small except the waves; small boat, small cove, small catch and small man. I watched as the fisherman stretched into his boat and pulled out a few crabs. Was that all? I could not believe that this man had risked his life at sea for so little reward.
