About everything and nothing, talking to myself but hoping someone else might be listening…….
Another big change we have been trying to implement as a family, to help the environment (see my previous post) is to eat less meat. Eating meat, especially beef and pork, has a massive impact on our environment and the single biggest way we can help the planet is quite simply to eat less of... Continue Reading →
Many of the choices we make in life are purely due to convenience. We lead such busy lives and we are always on the lookout for things that could make our lives easier, to enable us to do things quicker so we can fit more and more into our day.

Our next adventure took us to Santa Barbara as we had granny over from the UK for three weeks and managed to escape from the children for a night.

I haven't written a post for a while because life has been moving at the speed of light, but I felt I had to write today because I am feeling in such a positive place and I was thinking it might rub of on you (if you need/want it to!). Where to start, I guess... Continue Reading →
Today I supported my brother at a funeral of an old friend. A funny, kind, caring man who left this world too soon. We were told how, through all of his suffering he never complained and remained a real rock to his family. I remember him fondly, spending time at our house when I was a... Continue Reading →
