For those of you who know me on Twitter, I am concerned and passionate about climate change and what is going to happen to our planet if we do not reverse the trend of consumption, increase in green house gases, which most of us have heard as carbon dioxide, and reduce our waste and “carbon foot print”. That means how much each [...]

Posted in Debate, Environment, Thoughts, Uncategorized, tagged Country, Dog, Enjoyment, Exercise, Fitness, Nature, Peace, Walking on August 19, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I enjoy walking and decided on my evening walk tonight to express a few thoughts as to why I enjoy this form of exercise. You know how you just do a thing sometimes, thinking you know why you enjoy it, but have never sat down to fully explain why to yourself, let alone to anybody else.
That’s what I [...]

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 to [...]

The glass bowl for floating candles, not used for awhile, had centre stage on our dinning table this evening. At 20.30 I looked out of my window to see if people in our neighbourhood were observing this hour [...]

September has always been one of my favourite months of the year- the second favourite being May. For some, this month may herald a time of fading hopes of a summer that never was and the chill of the fresh late summer, early autumn air which feels cold, as winter will soon be upon us once more.

Today, I want to write a little about cleaning. Boring you say! Yes, cleaning is tedious, repetitive and time consuming.

After all, as Christians, surely we are custodians over God’s wonderful planet and living creation-if [...]

One moment it is there, the next it has vanished into thin air.

The clouds of pain can gather quickly with the rising storm,
