Glastonbury Tor - Spiritual Centre of England!

UK: My Father’s “Celtic Cross” Has Arrived! (27.7.2026)

I ordered this sometime ago from a small business in the UK – who sent me a wonderful postcard of Glastonbury and a bundle of free incense. Although we are modern people – and not religious – we may be described as “spiritual”. The Celtic Cross, I believe, is pre-Christian, and that the Christians may have encountered it amongst the Pagans – and decided to co-opt it into their religion. All the Celtic Cross means is that the seasons (in the Western-world) are separated into four-seasons. The cross represents this – and this only. A cross like this can be found within Viking and Anglo-Saxon cultures. Christians, for centuries, used two-fishes, and an “X” with a “P” (a Greek character) – and various other symbols (Christ is depicted as using a “wand” at one-point) – but never a “croos”.

Good-Bye Dad - Thanks for the Ride!

Torbay: My Father’s Funeral – Good-Bye Dad! (12.7.2026)

I refuse to set-foot in a Church that possesses such a hypocritical attitude. I will not compromise my political or spiritual view. All they care about is milking just one more penny from my father’s reputation – which cost people nothing when he was out waving. Cromwell had the right idea – as did Marx and Lenin – separate Church from State – and completely defund it. No political power, property, or influence. Torbay Social Services and the Management and Staff of Simpson Ward (NHS Hospital Torbay) are all criminals as far as I am concerned. They should be arrested and tried for Crimes Against Humanity – and this includes any official who assisted this criminality. The British Labour Party (Starmer-Burnham) and the British Establishment – has earned my eternal scorn.

Brixham Down Wind Mill Road!

Brixham: A Photographic Strole Down “Windmill Hill”! (3.4.2026)

Gee had to park the car at the top of Wind Mill Hill – as that was the only place a parking-space was available not patrolled by militant locals who still seem to think WWII is ongoing. I jest – but one or two were a little bit prickly – commenting about “Townies” and “City-Dwellers” with “their big cars”! And so on. Still, at the end of the day, we are the visitors and we will be gone tomorrow. After carrying-out my duty – and visiting my various family relatives – I thought it would be a good idea to make a record of the journey down the hill from the parking-spot to the rented house. The view was quite beautiful and I hope I have captured our journey on foot down a steep Brixham hill – although we could not actually find a “Wind Mill”! Come to think of it – we are supposed to be near the Brixham Army Cadet Centre – but we never found this place either!

Dad - Torbay Hospital 1.2.2026

Paignton: Hadleigh Court Care Home – Care Quality Commission [CQC] Latest Report – “Requires Improvement” – Do Not Send Your Relatives Here! (7.2.2026)

The now “all White” staff took exception to my father’s daughter in law being “Chinese” – and his two grand daughters being of mixed heritage. As old and disabled as he is, my father would get up, wash, get dressed, and order a taxi to my mother’s home to see us (here, my father expressed the will-power that saw his father land in the first wave of British troops on D-Day – and survive) – as he did not want Gee, Mei-An, or Kai-Lin subjected to the normalised racism that was now rampant in the home. As my father stood his corner – a semi-paralysed man in his 80s – the Manager of Hadleigh Court issued him with an Eviction Order – laughably asserting that he is “racist”! Recently, on a routine hospital check – the Manager of Hadleigh court refused for my father to be allowed back into the home. Hadleigh Court was assisted in this by the equally corrupt Torbay Social Services – so nothing new there. As a result of all this, my father is in Torbay Hospital with Social Services refusing to let other care homes take him – as we are a family “prone to complaining”! And that is where things stand. South Devon is a fairly backward area and so the impoverished masses are easily controlled by a few rich people and their Authoritarian lackeys. They do not like the workers standing up to their oppression – but standing up to oppression is what we do best. Do not allow your loved one to be plunged into the dungeon that is Hadleigh Court under this current Manager and staff regime. Hit the capitalists were it hurts – in the purse. It is the only pain that matters to them – as they do not care about the very real pain that their greed and racism inflicts on us. Still, we do not want sympathy from others – as we are all in the same boat – and we certainly do not want your money. We, instead, express our solidarity to every worker who is currently suffering oppression and violence at the hands of the capitalists – an oppression that has not been reduced under the rule of a right-wing Labour government. My mother – Diane Wyles – who is in her late 70s, is bravely fighting a rear-guard action against the corruption of the UK Authorities. Whave each other – tha is all that matters!

UK: Moses Waveman Addresses the Nation! (25.12.2025)

My father is something of a local celebrity around the Paignton area. Why? Well, about 15 years ago he started waving at passing traffic and attracted a cult-like following. Even the Guardian, Mail, and Telegraph all hunted him down for an interview. He is viewed by locals as a Gandalf-figure – who pisses off the local hotel managers, police, and even members of the local lodge – if you catch my drift. On occasion he has been one wave away from an ASBO – or whatever the anti-social orders have been called – but as he is not making the noise, there’s not alot the nay-sayers can do about his tactics of undermining the status quo. The above post has just been published on my Dad’s blog for those who sre interested.

Paignton: The Gurkha Curry! (27.8.2025)

This is a very sought after place with tables having to be booked weeks in advance. The cuisine is Nepalese (Gurkha) and is exceptionally good. The children enjoyed the rice and poppadoms – and it was a good experience for them. I was shocked to learn that the average price of a burger nowadays is around £8! Can you believe that! Even curries are not that cheap nowadays and so I am grateful we were guests and not hosts. As my mother is bed-bound abs could not attend in person – we ordered a curry to take home for her! We had a wonderful time surrounded by our family.
