Following on from my thoughts on the last post, I have had time to discuss and make some progress, at least in the ideas stake. This is what I have come up with so far. 1) Photography has  been a real plus and some images have been spotted by others for good works and greater [...]

Went to bed last night and gave my posting of yesterday evening some thought. Revelation: I actually feel guilty if I am successful, richer or more powerful. Keeping humble and meek is after all a more virtuous option? Today, I read all about Michael Gove and the King James Bible he has given to every school. I have recently been [...]

Needed to write in a spontaneous way. So here I am and here this is. Have been figuring a few things out. I try not to write about myself, it seems for me personally a bit self-indulgent, but feel the need to do so to work some things out. By having it written down it feels orderly and I might [...]

This is my 100th blog post on WordPress and the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic on her maiden voyage.

On Wednesday this week, I had a marvellous time and a challenge.  I am training for the GEAR run in King’s Lynn on the 2nd May 2010. I have never been a serious runner- the last time I did anything like this was for a few weeks with some Norwegian nursing colleagues in 1982 while I was living [...]

Six months ago, I wrote a blog about what I hoped would be my goals for the next six months and whether I had achieved or stuck to them. I wanted to simply look back and recap on what they were and the results. I grew some lettuce and planted some onions and carrots. The lettuce [...]

Yesterday evening was very exciting. I nearly didn’t go. It had been a surprising up-hill week in someways. It shouldn’t have been. I had only been working since Wednesday. But that was the problem. Having enjoyed a lovely long weekend, I just could not get back into work. Anyway, I decided to go with Mr E [...]

I thoroughtly enjoyed creating the pictured floral wreath for a funeral tomorrow. It felt pleasing to have not lost my touch since my floristy training over 10 yrs ago. There is not much time to do this kind of work very often. I thought back to my days as a florist student in the shop [...]
