Why do you blog? “Today we declared war on Nazi Germany…” and then tens of millions more died. Seven words. Yet positive words have held off war in Europe for 79 years this year. However, those words must be followed up by the right actions. People with the courage to commit to, and pursue peace.ContinueContinue reading “To Create Change”

My Mother?
Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses. Now that would be interesting. I’m a medium so interviewing my mother is still possible. Although this is a brilliant question, how many of you I wonder have the opportunity to do this today? IContinueContinue reading “My Mother?”
Bit Tired but Good
How are you feeling right now? Yesterday we went down to Glastonbury to catch up with a lovely man who used to be our vet, and meet his wife, a warm, funny, and caring person. We also met their son. If the security of this country is partly in his hands I definitely feel safer.ContinueContinue reading “Bit Tired but Good”

A Nest of Tables
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it? We repotted the house plants. Now they’re growing like mad things, which is wonderful, but we need to find somewhere to put them. Hence new tables. Frankly if I find a tiger strolling through the jungle that is our diningContinueContinue reading “A Nest of Tables”
Not Many
What TV shows did you watch as a kid? “Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin?” That was how Listen With Mother opened on the Radio. A nice comfortable, happy, programme of stories for children. Television was in its infancy. We had Andy Pandy, and the Flowerpot men. I loved them. We had Children’s Hour.ContinueContinue reading “Not Many”
Night
What’s your favorite time of day? I like the energetic peace and quiet. When the underlying emotionally chaotic vibe of the world quietens. I love being awake after midnight. It’s so quiet. The air is softer. I’ve never been an early morning person, unless you count 2 am, so I can’t really comment much. ButContinueContinue reading “Night”
