    Writing A-Z: Z is for 'Zeppelin', a poem from my 'Unspoken Understanding' collection which was inspired by aerial attacks on Southend in the Great War. I hope you've enjoyed my A-Z. It's been fun putting it together.

    Writing A-Z: X is for Xylonite, a celluloid-like substance once manufactured at Brantham in Suffolk. I wrote about it in my book "Dedham, Flatford and East Bergholt: A Pictorial History". Here's a pic from there of the British Xylonite Company's band.

    Writing A-Z: V is for Visitors' Books, especially at Essex churches. I've signed over 400 of those, some of them many times! Here's a poem from my 'Tears of Poignancy' collection which was inspired by visits to redundant churches, especially at Birch and Stansted Mountfitchet.

    Writing A-Z: U is for 'Unspoken Understanding', the title of both my second poetry collection and one of my poems. Here's a poem from that collection about the 7th-century chapel of St Peter-on-the-Wall at Bradwell in Essex. It's well worth a visit!

    Writing A-Z: T is for several connected things - my poetry collection 'Tears of Poignancy', my poem 'The Essex Marshlands' and the village of Tollesbury, which inspired it. The two characters in the poem are me at 18 and 28, demonstrating how age can alter a person's perspective.

    Writing A-Z: S is for Southend-on-Sea, where I've lived since 1972. I've written about it more than anywhere else, including in 'A History of Southend' and 'Southend in 50 Buildings'. Here's a pic of one of the buildings - it's where I've worked for the best part of 30 years!

    Writing A-Z: Q is for Quendon. Slight cop-out because I've never written about it, but there's no other option! I've been there several times though, including as a cycling destination last summer. Here's a picture of the church that I took then.

    Something for car fans in South-East Essex!

    Writing A-Z: F is for Fryerning, where my parents were married, my brother and I were christened, and my mum and numerous relatives, ancestors and family friends now lie beneath the earth. The churchyard there is one of the few places I feel at ease. Here's a poem about it.

    Writing A-Z: E is for Essex - love of my life! I was born and bred in the county and have criss-crossed it via footpaths, bridleways, tracks, green lanes, roads, railways and rivers a million times. I have written about it in my book "Essex Events" and here's my love poem to it.
