About Sproutings

Sproutings is where I post new ideas, new growth. Here you will find observational stories, short fiction, sometimes poetry. Sometimes I write to make sense of life with an acquired brain injury.

Years ago I became known as E.regnans, after my favourite tree. That is the Swamp gum, or the Mountain Ash, or the Eucalyptus regnans - tallest of all flowering plants and native to my part of the world - Victoria (and Tasmania), Australia.
