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 was [...]

For those of you who know me on Twitter, these are the results of my week long exercise of how I spend my time. I wanted to do this to see how I can fit 16 hrs of study in a week from next year with the OU.
It was a very interesting thing to do [...]

Hi to all my friends.
300 pages into Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman and the book is finally holding me in it’s vice like grip, about 133 pages to go. Hoping to finish it in two days. It has been one of the longest fiction books to read. Since finishing my studies, it has taken me ages to get back [...]

At first we were hoping to go away for the weekend but for various reasons that was not on the cards. Then Mr E saw an advertisement for a sustainable living exhibition at the Forum in Norwich and he wanted to go there instead for his birthday day out.
This blog is just to say how simple [...]

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. Approx six months ago, I set up a new blog OnevoiceIfreedom to highlight, research and write about my deep interests in human rights, [...]

Oh, daffodil and bells.
The garden blooms and swells,
With new buds, a new life,
The birds are flying,
as high as kites.
Oh Easter, rejoice now rejoice.
The birds sing in chorus
winds whisper a love song,
of new and old tales,
young lovers take hands
and walk along the Easter dawn.
Be fresh in our hearts,
on Easter tide,
of noon and sun,
and joy with pain.
Along the [...]

I was looking foreword to lighting my candles this evening to celebrate and recognise Earth hour at 20.30. 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 [...]

A mini-post for today.
Life generally feels so much better these days and I thought a few observations about this feeling would be worth posting this morning. Stress is something that has plagued me a lot in my life, that learning to handle it better did seem essential only a few weeks back. There is one thing [...]

From its outside appearance, from the road, the British Library could almost be mistaken for a red brick supermarket, small un-assuming and rather plain building, sitting next to St Pancras railway station. You entre the main entrance and you not sure what to expect next. And then, much to your surprise, you realise you have only just touched the [...]

Yesterday I went to Cambridge.
There have been plenty of visits there, but today I thought about this trip differently. It has been a hard few weeks and for those of you who know me on Twitter, you will be aware that I am currently off work due to stress. Cambridge was a chill-out day, a de-stress day for me. I was in [...]
