What things give you energy? Nothing saps my energy more than the violence and unkindness in this world. From social media, through being unable to trust our police forces, to inter-family spite, school bullying, bullying at work, genderism, colour prejudice and on and on.

Longer than a weekend break, but shorter than emigrating. UsuallyContinueContinue reading “Celebrate?”
