So the big news on the happiness front this week is that I have been offered my very first book-signing. I didn’t have to beg or grovel or anything like I expected I might have to do or lets face it, be prepared to do. It’s not in London’s Oxford Street or New York’s Time… Continue reading I have my first book signing!

True Love Ever Does Run Deep
In the 1980’s there were two artists by the name of Marina and Ulay. As many artists (and writers!!) are, they were poor and lived out of the back of a truck. They lived their lives and relationship through their art and this culminated with their much thought our separation. They came up with… Continue reading True Love Ever Does Run Deep
Let Me Help – Doing more than feeling sorry for those in need.
I’ve written before about being A Good Samaritan. I spend a lot of time thinking about those in need. Whether it is homeless persons or those fallen on hard times in other ways such as ex-service people. Even my first book was called Let Me Help before it I re-wrote it and got it published… Continue reading Let Me Help – Doing more than feeling sorry for those in need.
100 things I love about you

You are what you live
Have you ever given pause to thought about national stereotypes and the perceptions that strangers may have of you because of where you live?

Germans can come over as hard working and… Continue reading You are what you live
Why are the 7 days in a week? The story behind the names of the days of the week
Have you ever wondered why the week has 7 days in it? It is so entrenched around the world even in areas not influenced by Bible teaching and yet no one really questions why this is.

The story behind the names of the days of the week
A love-letter to Grandma
Everyone loves their Grandma don’t they? They’re possibly the most special person anyone lucky enough to ever have one has ever had, along with Granddads of course! Grandparents have all the joys of having young children but don’t have the responsibility of discipline. Today one of my Grandma’s would have been 86 years old which… Continue reading A love-letter to Grandma
Oh no! I’ve been diagnosed as being Gluten, Dairy and Wheat intolerant.
Firstly I like to think myself as a very tolerant person. I never get angry or argue, I don’t think I have ever hit anyone even at school. As long as people leave me alone then I don’t really care what they identify themselves with. If I don’t like something or someone I just have… Continue reading Oh no! I’ve been diagnosed as being Gluten, Dairy and Wheat intolerant.
U and Non-U
U, or should I say you, might think I am off my trolley with this blog title or maybe my carefully worded prose has finally given way to text-speak. However U and Non-U is actually a book title from the 1950’s written by a legendary aristocrat Nancy Mitford that was all the rage amongst certain… Continue reading U and Non-U
