Short Pieces

                                

Now and then I’m asked to write a lecture or a feature piece, and I’ve gathered my favourites here.  I also sometimes write on a subject close to my heart – fragrance, climate change, the history versus fiction debate and other subjects.  I’ve added some of those pieces here too. I hope you find them interesting.
