She sees me off to go shopping

Loving wife of older man

He’s fit though, he’s no also-ran

He strides out never stopping

Inspired by her so fond and waving

Thinks with each step: my life she’s saving


Without her I’d be long ago lost

She’s given me children, constant love,

A home, a place to be proud of,

Framed in her style. To me, the cost

Was nothing except what’s good to give

Love – an easy way to live


In my life of simple rapture

I spread my net - and what a capture!

Scottish Theatres

A National star the errant Dane,

Film star to be, and no plain Jane...

Dish of the Day

I had greatness thrust upon me

When I came to Plat du Jour

I would not have laid odds on me...
