You will get the impresion before too long that I love words. I produce writing because I consume writing – you know, the words that others have written. I know plenty of folks are just into the consuming, but what I consume inspires me to produce. It doesn’t necessarily inspire me to produce all the […]
Read More Dryden Links: Lessons in MarriageMy Dad enjoyed his allotment. My Mum enjoyed cooking. I know they enjoyed these things because when I have an image in my head of what they enjoyed doing those activities spring effortlessly to mind. It would be interesting to see what my daughters would say their parents enjoy doing. What I do know is […]
Read More Dryden Update: Review and PreviewHello. My name is Christopher. I am the one who puts words on this blog. Most of the time. Among other things, I love food in good company.

Read More At The Half-Way Point: A Dryden UpdateI know May is already up and running, but it’s still worth posting this to briefly update you with what’s been going on. As you might have noticed, what’s emerged from April is a series of Prayers for Change. That was birthed out of a conversation with a friend who was embarking on a project […]
Read More You May Begin Your Paper – A Dryden UpdateIt occurred to me that apt is probably a shortened way of saying appropriate. The sentiment behind both words are similar – it’s fitting, it’s on point, it’s right for the context. It occurred to me when I was reflecting on life at the moment and how March went.

Read More Apt for April: A Dryden UpdateThis blog is not automated by robots. As yet I don’t think there is available technology to produce entries automatically and post them.
