What a joy to come across this is utterly wonderful CD of 20 recordings: some are songs, some are poems, with and without music in the background, some are funny ('Perfect Fit' and 'Somewhere in the Library'), some are heart-breakingly sad ('Breakages') but all of them have hope and all of them are clever and...

I've been away for two days and blown the diet. Forgive me Helen, my fab healthy eating guru friend. It was the marmalade that made me do it. Here is the little mini message that was on the underside of the mini marmalade pot I opened each morning at breakfast. (Yes, I know, opening the... Continue Reading →
I came across this in my daily reading the other day. It's from the Old Testament but Matthew in his gospel has Jesus say it, not once, but twice which means it ought to be underlined three times in our Bibles, especially because what Jesus actually says is, 'You don't get this... you haven't understood...

Church is realising that there are other people also on sun loungers (but being the imperfect people we... Continue Reading →
This is an image I often draw when I'm in conversation with people about serious stuff in their lives. I ask them "is this how you experience life?" Responses range from 'you've got be joking/chance would be a fine thing/is it heck? And I agree with them, it's not generally how I experience life either... Continue Reading →
How do we hold ourselves together when we find we hear within ourselves competing voices some of which talk loudly and which appear to take us in opposing directions? Okay, so I don't mean 'hearing voices' in a bad way. I simply mean that all of us have different roles going on in our 'one... Continue Reading →
Oh what agony and anxiety we would all be spared if only we knew they were going to win! I watched parts of England's game with David last Tuesday. I'm not really a football fan but it was big deal for beloved so I kept him company as best I could. He paced up and... Continue Reading →
