Time to Rest, Sow and Reap
It is funny how quickly time has been going. It seems only yesterday that I decided to create an organic garden on my doorstep. Yet almost three months have gone by since I started on the project in my back garden. It seems as if it has been raining incessantly ever...
A Prayer for an End to Violence
In my last post, I wrote about hope from the heartbreak of 7/7 after the London train and bombs on 7th July 2005. Today I was sent an email about a memorial service held for the 52 victims of those bombs in London. The victims were remembered by their familes and...
Hope From the Heartbreak of 7/7
It is already 2 years today since the bombings in London on 7th July 2005. The picture above shows the peace flower created on the first anniversary of 7/7 last year in Regents Park. As we today remember those killed and injured on that fateful day, it is heart...

There’s a New Man in Downing Street!
A new man has entered 10 Downing Street today:-) No matter what you think of Gordon Brown and his political leanings, you have to admire the achievement of his life long ambition. What burning ambition are you going to fulfil in your life time?!

Consumer Power is Here to Stay – So Have Your Say
A few weeks ago I wrote about Masterfoods were planning to introduce an animal product in its range of chocolates including Mars Bar. This sneaky plan by Masterfoods caused quite a stir with the company receiving over 6,000 calls and emails and 40 MPs even signing a...
People in Your Life are Precious, so Appreciate Them!
I am back writing and in the swing of things once again. The last 3 weeks have been rather surreal after the tragic death of a very close friend. This was only a week after we had spent the best part of a week together. So the last month has certainly been a life...
