There is so much focus on skin colour, race, gender, and religion, yet beneath the skin we are identical. We are comprised of the same working parts. We care about our families especially the children. We want to be safe, well, and happy. So how do so many divisions exist, manufactured by the few, leakingContinueContinue reading “One Beneath the skin”

You Are Me
I understand the innocence of childhood Because long ago I was you An innocent with my whole life in front of me Safe in my cocoon with my family Playing happily in streets Splashing in the rain Paddling in the sea And shrieking as the waves washed over me As you used to But youContinueContinue reading “You Are Me”

Botanical Gardens
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting. In Birmingham. I cheated, it’s a city.

Local coffee andContinueContinue reading “Botanical Gardens”

I woke up to this beautifully sunny view this morning, yet logically I know it will be very cold out there, 66 winters have taught me that. So I know for a fact that appearances are deceptive in this case. Somehow, knowing this, we will still look at a human and make immediate decisions aboutContinueContinue reading “Face Value? – Three Thoughts”
They’re cats!
If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be? I do believe that animals understand us better than we think, and they’re also capable of completely ignoring us. Mummy hugs Two-way comms People will tell you that cats are not affectionate, they’re independent and don’t need us. That’s not true. We’veContinueContinue reading “They’re cats!”
