When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why? I’ve gone way back for this image of a young Prince Charles, because this is when the man I admire for his successes launched who he was going to be. Instead of drinking and complaining his way throughContinueContinue reading “The King”

What makes a good neighbor? Yes I used to watch it! Seriously though, if you get on well with your neighbours you’re very lucky, especially in the indoor society, repel all borders, parts of the UK. We’ve not been so lucky since we left London, although that may well have changed. When we first movedContinueContinue reading “When They Become Good Friends”

What could you try for the first time? Except I can’t think of one. Maybe not suffering fools gladly? Sometimes I could do with a little less tolerance. We had a situation recently where the way we were treated was rather horrible. It was quite a shock to be honest as it was with anContinueContinue reading “Loads of Things”

What principles define how you live? Love this sky When you get a hole in the clouds like this I always feel like I’m looking into another world. As if it’s an opening into a magical realm. I grabbed this photo when I was trying to capture the northern lights the other night, hoping they’dContinueContinue reading “Spirit”

What have you been putting off doing? Why? Housework. Decorating. Cleaning the paintwork. Going into the garage. That’s my husband’s space where the tidy image he presents gives way to the truth. He’s messy. I have days where cleaning comes easily and I keep going for as long as I can. I know to makeContinueContinue reading “Anything Boring”

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)? Kind of sums it up My big mistake was believing that there is any such thing as a grown up. That places any number of pressures on your natural development. This is why I don’t believe that old age is aContinueContinue reading “Big Mistake!”

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to? Firstly that’s $1.3m. I’m intrigued what it translates to in other currencies. I don’t think I’d give it to anyone, that can make people feel awkward. Were I to share it with those close to me I would like toContinueContinue reading “That’s the Million Pound Question”

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. It’s not about failing so much as the cost of publishing a book, the fact that publishing houses won’t often touch new writers now, and my complete inability in any way, shape, or form, to put what I do into words. I knowContinueContinue reading “Writing Another Book”

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? I used to worry in case there was something I should be worrying about and I’d forgotten what it was. I also suffered from undiagnosed acute anxiety. Whilst I had lovely parents with much to recommend them, through no fault of their own their livesContinueContinue reading “Stopping Worrying”

Who are your favorite artists? God/creation/nature. Whichever way you look at it this world is a work of art. Theoretical physicist and mathematician, Frank Wilczek, argued that beauty is the fundamental motive behind the universe, and that if there is a creator they are an artist. His book “A Beautiful Question” is worth reading. YetContinueContinue reading “Just One”
