You look ridiculous if you don’t dance
So you might as well
dance.”

    • Hiya! Elston-Hurdle is a great name. I looked up the etymology of Alston a while back, and it’s of Anglo Saxon history (so very English!) They presume that the name came from “All-Stone”, or the name given to a town’s stonemason, or stone-crafter. I’d bet Elston has something to do with that too.

      Thanks for commenting, I’ll drop by again 🙂

  2. I studied Philosophy in university, and didn’t know what to do with it after either, so I jumped on a plane, flew halfway across the world and opened a bar in China. 4 years later, I decided to give writing a go. Thanks for liking my post on Up<Side<Down. (:
    I'm enjoying meandering through your posts.

  7. Hello, greetings from Texas. Thank you for the like! I do consider myself an aspiring poet, a novice in the art. And so it’s particularly pleasant to begin with the support of fellow writers such as yourself! I truly want to thank you for it! Best wishes and I wish you extraordinary inspiration in your writing!

  10. If I eat your eyes, will I gain the way you see the world? Maybe then I’ll steal your brain to write down all the things I see.
    I love the way you sew words. I’ma tad jealous. Also thanks for reading a scrap of my blog (Hannarchy.com). It’s not much, but it’s mine and I love it.

  13. Thanks for dropping by on my blog. I’m fairly new to it all. I love having the time to be creative. At the moment I am trying to work out how to share some of my art and blog about it but haven’t come up with the answer yet. Some of what you are doing will help me I think. I also enjoy writing, dancing and writing poetry.
