A BAKER'S DOZEN; inspirational characters and their impact in my world, with philosophical annotations is the culmination of project spread over almost a decade in which the author recalls a mélange of characters, sadly now all deceased, who have profoundly influenced him.
Exploring his subjects through the lens of The Great Thinkers, particularly those of Ancient Greece, Graham develops his theme from the perspective of what made them special and whether their own lives were 'lives well lived'.
With a focus on Black Country personalities including Wesley Perrins MP, peace campaigner Bert Bissell and Halesowen artist Ray Stimpson the coterie also includes those of more national prominence such as broadcaster Alistair Cooke, comedian Spike Milligan and eccentric writer Daniil Kharms.
Graham describes his latest work as ‘sauntering along life’s avenues to recount a medley of acquaintances that have left singularly affirming impressions of wisdom and virtue'. He says: ‘This has taken me a long time to pull together so I feel it is something of a magnum opus and a fitting testament to just some of the people who lives have greatly influenced both mine and others. I believe their examples offer lessons for us all’.

Lots more to come, folks ...
... so feel free to browse awhile and revel in the absence of a paywall. You are about to enter quite an eclectic website which we hope you enjoy - please do tell us via the 'contact' section. In the meantime, just to get you into the swing of things, here's a cat. Everybody loves cats, don't they? I hear even the Pope does; in fact he's a confirmed Cat-a-holic (with thanks to the master of silliness Milton Jones for that one).
Anyway, here is one such critter that begrudgingly allows us to live chez nous. Regular visitors will recall it was five cats and two dogs, but sad to say that since the last refresh we have lost Will-I-Um the Monster Puss and Gormless Angus the Mutt. They are greatly missed. But here is one of the pussies; this is Maisie the Minx. She is, as you can see, a bone idle slob like the rest of 'em. She is still lying on the same Aga and in much the same position as last time you saw her. The Aga is on. Just hold your ear close to the screen and you can actually hear her innards burbling.(*)
(* And I bet you just tried that!)
OK, SUITABLY FOREWARNED, PLEASE EXPLORE OUR SITE.
JUST BEWARE OF THE CATS; THEY POP UP EVERYWHERE ...
