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. To commemorate both of these anniversaries, I decided to write this blog around the theme of this maritime disaster. A topic that still ievokes passion today, as it did back then in the previous century. It is the subject of class: social class and [...]

I recently asked a core supporter of Tareto Maa, as he had recently re-visited the project over the New Year, what had changed since his first visit in the early days of the centre’s birth and emergence. He said quite simply this: ” Then it was more like visiting a group of girls in a family, [...]

I have loved reading Stephen Fry’s book Moab is My Washpot and have only about 70 pages to go to completion. I can identify so much with him, really I can. This blog isn’t a book review. I don’t doubt I will say more about this early autobiography in a later blog. No, this piece of writing [...]

I was lucky enough to see Mathew Bourne’s production of Swan Lake at the Saddler’s Wells theatre this last Sunday. A very different Ballet from the one I normally would see.

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 [...]

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 [...]

OneVoiceIfreedom Having deleted this post accidentally last week, let’s have a another try now. This blog is to announce some important changes, for me anyway, as to how my posts will continue to be written and organised.
