The Random musings of a nobody. “Dagenham Dave”, is slang for someone one stop short of Barking (mad), though more contemporarily refers to any wayfaring and carefree person. Dagenham is a town to the eastern side of London (Luds Dominium) that was first recorded in a Barking charter in 666a.d. as the town of Daeccanham. Daecca is an ancient man’s name meaning ‘bright’ or ‘famous’ . Ham is short for Hamlet.
Dave is short for David, Hebrew for ‘Beloved’, My Surname ‘Wenborn’ derives from old English meaning of the Winding Stream.

1/ Book Reviews.
They’re not reviews as such- to recommend or asway, I neither seek to promote nor condemn, more my personal reflections on the books I read. In that respect it’s a subjective thing.
2/ Short Stories and Tales
Short stories borne from imagination, dreams, thoughts and wanderings. Too large to be written in my journal of shadows.
3/ Full Books
Books that were once published elsewhere, I have full copyright on these, and of course given here freely.
4/ Magazines and Articles
Small snippets and articles that may or may not have appeared elsewhere, and information not included in Journal of shadows.
5/ Poetry
A small selection of poetry. Like song, I create as a means to an artistic diary.
6/ WordPress Challenges
Wordpress (where this website is hosted) offer up a daily prompt for people to answer, sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t.
I do not accept donations or offers, bribes etc, and do not advertise or am paid to promote anything either. All donations should be sent to either of the following ;-
Zarach ~ Helping Children living in poverty
Street Talk ~ Helping women trapped in prostitution and trafficking
