Family Photos

Some family photos from Britain and Ireland… My dad had two funerals, one in the church he attended for 43 years in Middlesbrough and one back in his home parish of Skerries before being buried in the family grave at Lusk. As you can see from the photos from the reception – I have a [...]

Daddy

My father, Richard Joseph Lambe, passed away peacefully on Tuesday February 16th. He was a quiet, hard-working man, a keen gardener and his greatest achievement remains his family; five children and three grandchildren. All of his children were able to say goodbye to him before he went and at 92 years old he had a good [...]

Naturally when I went home to England this time I took a lot of pictures of my family:

But I also got hold of some old family pictures too. It’s interesting to see how we have changed and how we haven’t…

Happy New Year! I got back to Japan on the 30th with the nastiest dose of jetlag I’ve had yet but managed to pull myself out of bed in order to replace my demolished phone and then see in 2008. Problem was when the old phone got smashed to pieces all my contact numbers and [...]

Loose Ends

Right well, Masaya has added his piece to my attempt at a translation in yesterday’s post… And after that I’m wondering if this might not be better:
At Year’s End
Wrap things up well
And what you unwrap

The Land of Eng

My flight home started promisingly with the Captain announcing that we would be arriving at Heathrow early but about thirty minutes into the flight a flight attendant came running down the aisle shouting “A doctor or a nurse!” Shortly thereafter we had to fly back to Tokyo for an emergency stop and some poor chap [...]

Joseph Reader – Poet of the Trees

Friday, March 9, 2007 4:16 Comments Off

This is my nephew Joseph who as it turns out is a brilliant poet.
The following verses (which form part of a collaborative work he has been working on with some other young poets) are all his own work:

Phone Call

Wednesday, February 7, 2007 3:58 Comments Off

I just had a phone call from my mother in England, which always worries me a bit because she usually doesn’t call unless there’s a very serious reason. It turns out my Uncle Jimmy in America has died. He was 86. I never met him, but I think that’s even sadder in a way because [...]

Happy New Year! I’m back in Japan (ah to sleep twixt my own familiar sheets once more) and back at work (ah…) and back at my blog (did you miss me?). Scary stuff today – I asked one of my junior high students what she did over winter vacation and she said “I read your [...]
