An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Lunch at the Picturesque Lion Rampant Scottish Pub
On this day, my cousins, Penny & Dave, took me to a local Maple Bay pub for lunch to meet their friends, Joan and Darcy. After lunch, we went for a scenic tour around the Maple Bay and Genoa Cove area.
The Lion Rampant Scottish Pub. Lunch with Dave, Penny, Joan, and Darcy
G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

The scenery reminds me very much of my home. I do not have a coastline close though- so this is a treat.
