Whats at the heart of your Christmas?

Christmas is often painted as a time of pure happiness and contentment; for many this is the case – it can be a truly magical time.  However, Christmas isn’t always everything we hope it to be, for some the reality is... squabbling over TV channels, excessive time with in-laws, indi...

Remembering

It’s that time of year again… “Remember, remember the 5th of November” – a time when we light bonfires to remember and celebrate the foiling of the infamous ‘Gunpowder plot’ to blow up King James I and his government.  On the very night Guy Fawkes&rs...

Crazy Times, Crazy People

What goes on in the world never ceases to amaze, shock and sometimes scare me. Donald Trump becoming the president certainly raised eyebrows last November, yet he continues to keep everyone on their toes with what he might do next.  His latest spat with Kim Jong-un doesn’t fill you with ...

The pivotal month in the British calendar

August is a month where the normal rhythm of life is disturbed in a pretty big way; what’s more it’s always been the case. The reason is ultimately to do with food. Following a few months of warmer sunshine, August historically saw the ripening of grains making August a very intense pe...

Sunday School is Sunday Cool..!

  What does the term ‘Sunday School’ mean to you?  Old fashioned and outdated?  Pointless and unnecessary?  Our local and national daily newspapers are full of reports of increased crime rates, addiction and depression becoming worryingly common in the younger genera...

That all important list…

Bucket & Spade - CHECK. Sun cream - CHECK. Sunglasses - CHECK. The Summer holiday season is fast approaching and many of us will be looking forward to getting away for a bit of relaxation. Before we leave on holiday there’s always so much to do – things to pack, fridges to empty, ...

Greater resolve... once again

No doubt, by the time you read this I will already have broken at least one of my New Year’s resolutions. Some years I barely make it to day two. Sound familiar? It should - a quick Google search tells me that 80% of resolutions are broken during January and only 8% of resolutions are actual...

It’s all about Love

For years I remember checking the post on the 14th February for any cards someone (anyone!) might have sent me. Then one glorious day I actually received a card.  Frustratingly it was anonymously signed with a question mark.  I’m still none the wiser! It is strange looking back ho...

‘Spring into Life’

Yellow daffodils along a green grassy bank, pink cherry blossom on the trees, bright blue skies and frolicking white lambs in the fields…Springtime brings a wonderful array of colour stemming from the beauties of new life. It’s so amazing to watch the flowers bloom, see new animals be...

Would you vote for this person?

People who run for political office (local, national or even international) make all sorts of promises. Like “If you vote for me or my party then we’ll solve this problem or improve this service”. We hear and read about them all the time and no doubt many of these promises are ma...

Fancy A Walk?

After the long cold winter we’ve had, it’s nice to start seeing glimpses of warmth again. The sunshine and better weather means invitations will start coming thick and fast of “do you fancy a walk?”  With varying degrees of enthusiasm, partners will be persuaded (or no...

Surprise

Most people like good surprises.  You know, the ones that are thought through, intended to give pleasure, show us that someone cares, understand what makes us happy and knows what we like.  However sadly there are those other surprises in daily life that are not planned and we could reall...

Managing Anxiety And Stress

In our busy, stressful modern world, life feels frantic and under pressure.  Being contactable 24/7 means that we’re never really off-duty.  Work emails ping to our phone in the evenings and any smidgen of time gets soaked up scrolling through Facebook.  Our brains are always f...

When WORDS get in the way

A condition which seems to afflict most groups of people when they’ve been together for any length of time is that they begin speaking in a different language.  You’ve heard it. People ‘in the know’ using special words when talking about their particular area of experti...

Gazing Skyward

As I write this, we’re enjoying a long spell of blue skies and hot sunshine - hopefully it will last the holidays!  Each evening, nature has treated us to spectacular displays of colour as the sky has gradually turned various shades of orange, red, pink and purple until the sun finally di...

Just start reading!

As the summer holidays draw to a close it will soon be time for children to return to classes and start their new school year. I’m sure you remember that nervous uneasy feeling of going back to school after the summer, getting back into the old routine and getting out of the relaxed habits fac...

Forecasting the future

I’m sure you all saw the news about category 2 hurricane ‘Florence’ that hit the US East coast in September with winds of over 100mph, causing widespread devastation and flooding for over 10 million people. The above paragraph may well be accurate, but it also maybe completely wro...

A future king is born

Royal fans across the world were delighted at the recent announcement that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expecting their first baby.  It was only in in April we saw the birth of Prince William and Kate’s son, so excitement is building again as we wait to hear details of the next roya...

HALLOW…E’EN?

​Yes, we’ve just had that time of year when terrifying faces come to the door… and that’s just the people who bothered to answer! Halloween has grown in the UK, both in popularity and commercially over the past few years. Facemasks, costumes, lanterns and sweets are all sold and ...

Let in the Light

Let in the Light January can be a tricky month in terms of mental health. The sparkle and magic of Christmas is over and lots of people find themselves suffering from SAD (seasonal affective disorder). This is thought to be caused in part by a lack of sunlight and causes symptoms similar to depres...

A Day To Remember

Do you think of February as a glum month full of dark nights and cold weather? Think again! A quick Google will reveal it’s a actually a month full of quirky International Awareness Days - so why not do something different this year? You could plan an alternative February 14th by dusting off ...

Predicting the weather

Weather, in a country that has such a lot of it, seems to be a bit of an obsession. What’s more, it often involves a rhyme or saying. “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb”, basically means March starts off cold and stormy but turns to spring at the end.  Or th...

World Health

Every year, the World Health Organisation has a special campaign day: World Health Day. This year, on April 7th they will draw attention to the millions of people worldwide who have limited access (or even no access at all) to life saving health care. Caring for the sick and injured is a noble cal...

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

Like me, you have probably never been faced with the situation of having to make a ‘Mayday’ call?  For those who like boats it is part of the training to stay safe, in fact for over 80 years it has been recognised as the international distress signal to be used by people in &lsquo...

Going Away

Have you ever tried to get away from it all, travelling to some remote location in the hope that you will have some privacy for a while?  Fifty years ago this month, two men were preparing to go somewhere no-one else had ever been before.  Their names were Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin a...

Choosing To Care For Our Planet

There’s been a lot of public attention on the issues of pollution and climate change recently. Ever since David Attenborough and the BBC ‘Blue Planet II’ programme highlighted the enormous global problem of plastic pollution in the oceans, many people have tried to change their li...

Finding answers to life’s BIG questions

If you’re anything like me, you’ll recall a time before computers, smartphones and tablets; a time where information wasn’t readily available in a split second. ‘Back in the day’ if you had a homework topic on the French Revolution and needed to know who Napoleon Bonap...

Sunday School is Sunday Cool..!

What does the term ‘Sunday School’ mean to you? Old fashioned and outdated? Pointless and unnecessary? Straight-laced and dull? It may be that Sunday School isn’t what you thought it was.  Our local and national daily newspapers are full of reports of increased crime rates, v...

Light After Dark

Climbing the steps of the plane the rain continued to fall, the sky dark and threatening as it had been all day.  After what seemed an eternity sitting on the runway, the plane finally lifted off the tarmac and we climbed steeply into the black cloud.  Within moments the plane emerged thr...

Trick or Treat?

I’m sure you enjoy receiving treats.  Perhaps some chocolate when you are on a diet, a meal out, some free time, or a day of relaxation at a spa.  From time to time we all like to spoil ourselves.  A treat is a luxury, it can uplift us, it creates a moment of hap...

Looking forward to something great

January is the number one month for booking summer holidays with huge surge the week following the Christmas break.  It’s not hard to see why; the days are short, summer seems a long way off and many of us are drawn to thoughts of sunny days and golden beaches – very different...
