Oh what we wouldn’t give To have another life One which has more sunshine Where no neighbours give us strife. Well here’s a little story Given with a pinch of pride, To tell you that you can indeed; And land the other side. Not only as the self you were: Bit all the missing parts,Continue reading “Road trip”

Drawing on
Hello yellow light and hopeful thoughts wherever you are. In these ambiguous months of daring to hope, but not wanting to feel any more disappointment, we stand on the edge of a life we might step into. For some of you, your path might have turned a new direction entirely, leaving you a bit floaty.Continue reading “Drawing on”
How to stay well in lockdown
Do you know what the daftest thing people say is? It goes without saying …. NO, it doesn’t. What we don’t hear, we make up. What other folk don’t tell us, we tell ourselves. The human brain is like a empty pool. We can clear it out, and make it shine , but sooner orContinue reading “How to stay well in lockdown”
May the force be with you
Dear friends. Another couple of weeks in. How are you bearing up? Are you surprising yourself with your resilience in this strange new world ? Or are you struggling with groundhog day?

Draw
Recently I started to go to an art class, as a member and not as a teacher. It is wonderful. Not only are the people running it wonderfully easy and friendly, open to you creating your own masterpiece instead of drawing their set-up; but the class members are as easy to be in a roomContinue reading “Draw”
