The Keys! The Keys!

Yesterday, all my troubles weren’t so far away. To paraphrase The Beatles. I actually said the words “you couldn’t write this.” Then I decided to. It happened like this I felt moved to pop into our town centre for a walk around as it’s an indoor shopping centre and it’s warm, which the UK isContinueContinue reading “The Keys! The Keys!”

Stricter Now

Write about your approach to budgeting. It used to be lax, but in the last few years we’ve really cleaned up our act. Partly because we have more awareness of the needs of, and sense of responsibility towards, the planet. We’re now far more careful what we buy, and how we dispose of it, makingContinueContinue reading “Stricter Now”

Yes: I’m Spirit

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you? Patriotic means division. The world is my country. It’s people are my people. The animal kingdom is my honour and privilege. I couldn’t give a toss about skin colour, I want to know if you’re kind. I couldn’t give a toss about gender, I willContinueContinue reading “Yes: I’m Spirit”

Good Question

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law? I think the worst I’ve done is drive a little too fast but I always pull my speed back as soon as I realise. I’m ex emergency services, I know too much to drive like an idiot. I did once take a book as a very young teenagerContinueContinue reading “Good Question”

They were always a dichotomy, dad needed the sea, and freedom, mum wanted to be near family. She’d won the battle. They never had a let up of pressure, my dad’s health had startedContinueContinue reading “Getting Old 🤣”

Social Media

If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? I would like stronger controls around the use of social media. When I say strong think something that would make a fully grown elephant look weak. For too long these companies have got away with allowing violence and abuse ofContinueContinue reading “Social Media”

Stuff, Money, and Nonsense.

Comparing the life of a blogging friend from the Philippines, to my experience of life in the UK. Very different lives, both have positives, but one clearly wins on natural living and family connection.

The BIG Question

It’s modern and filled with light. It’s on top of a hill with a fabulous view. It has eco heating and lighting and is self-sustaining. There is a balcony from the living room on the first floor. It has two master suites with walk in wardrobes and en suite bathrooms. Plants love it. There isContinueContinue reading “The BIG Question”
