Mark and Hugh's Entertaining and Educational Articles

For more than a year from spring 2020 through lockdowns of varying intensities and beyond, writer Mark and cartoonist Hugh lifted our sometimes sombre spirits and kept us entertained with their time consumingly researched, cleverly concocted, relevant and thought provoking, informative and often educational, always entertaining and sometimes quite hilarious, articles and cartoons. 

Pictured at the top of this page is one of our favourites, Excalibur from Pond Life! You can read the story accompanying this one here.

Goodbye from Mark and Hugh - June 2021

Our island with a khaki slant
Stallions in the New Forest
History of the National Game
The miracle of tides
Shirley Williams tribute
Please don't feed the animals
The Europe we love
The weather, a force with which to be reckoned
Praise for the all involved at the vaccination centres
Birds of a feather
Hurst Castle
Send in the clowns
Food glorious food
The power of good - and tribute to Sir Tom
Old school, new school, young school
Dreaming of holidays
Miracle or
