This blog was mainly about my time living in Madrid and my return to London
in 2010. I will not be updating or adding to it from March 2013.

Welcome to the Cryptwriters blog "Work in Progress"
Here you will find a selection of our work: poetry, prose and other Cryptwriters-related works.
The Cryptwriters group grew out of an earlier project at St. Peter's called Voices From the Crypt initiated by Anne-Marie Glasheen, which ran from 2007—2008. When this project ended the suggestion was made that I should start a regular writing group to be set up at the Crypt. With a lot of help from a lot of kind people including Inspire, the London College of Communication (which provided the initial funding for the project) and the Cryptwriters' regular tutor, Gale Burns, the group was born. It held its inaugural meeting on 16 October 2008 in The Crypt of St. Peter's Church, (from which the name is derived) just off Walworth Road, SE17, where we still meet today.
The ethos of The Cryptwriters is best explained as follows: We meet every other Thursday to read, critique and encourage each other in our writing and, under the expert guidance of our tutor, Gale Burns, to develop, attune and calibrate each individual's writing ability to the best levels we can attain.
Cryptwriters can be contacted by telephoning
020 8291 4108, emailing either Stephen stephenrayton@yahoo.co.uk, or Gale josgale@jgdburns.org.uk, or why not visit our Facebook page and leave us a message?
Please feel fee to browse, comment, follow or join us and add some work of your own. And remember to recommend us to your friends.

OK, RA, I have come from Ancient Egypt and lived all over the world.
I have many names in different cultures and there are as many ways to cook me.
The word Okra above links to an information page which tells how healthy and good for you I am.
So, after the cryp shut you went to 24 hours Tescos and did some further research.... you are good.
Just stick to one principle, do not overdo them. Al dente.
No, this was before the Crypt, and in Penge, a Turkish+ (may even include Polish) delicatessen opposite Sainsburys. I was actually hunting for an optician, and thought of your fingers. I knew of the shop and thought they might have some. It was only half a block further to walk.
Did not actually buy LFs, only avocados.
Should I be flattered? You think of my fingers, and photograph green, hairy, tired looking veg?
AND THEN, you choose an avocado... Must think of revenge.
Three avocados, actually. Sort of Three Graces dilemma. Which to choose? They weren't hairy, anyway. Clean shaven, or never hairy, who knows? Maybe not old enough to be hairy. Where does the hairy image come from? Another species of Okra?
When I was buying the avos I had not done the research on nutrition and health benefits of Okra so did not think of buying, only photographing. No slur intended. I'm sure your fingers are delightful.
I have never done any research on nutrition and health benefits of okra. Must do it, though. You are still not on FB, what a shame. It's king of boring there now.
That link under the picture is very comprehensive. All you ever wanted to know about okra, and more.
Nice of you to say so. Have you forgiven me for altering your layout? They are taking their time with the emailed reset password they promised; maybe they don't want me back.
Forgiven. Finishing red cabbage salad, as we speak.
There you go again. Dribble, slaver.
This may be resurrecting an old subject, but I just found this food related poem by Isobel Dixon: Root Verses. http://www.thesamplerpoetry.co.uk/page12.html
