Ben Mitchell has always written poetry-come-prose and songs, working all over this world of ours as a carpenter, scribbling things down in a note book or on the back of a bit of timber. Life has been eventful, filled with interesting experiences and colourful people. What you will find in these pages are examples of what my travels and the life he has lived, taught him. His mother never knew he was an aspiring writer. This book is a tribute to her and a thank you.
