I’m sitting watching Michael Portillo ride the trains of Viet Nam. He’s arrived in Hanoi and is showing viewers the bunker below the Metropole Hotel and telling of the 1,000 people killed in the US bombing of Hanoi. Only a 1,000? We’ve already had the stats that more people in the US have died … Continue reading Death and Glory.

Ten days on.
Well I can’t complain. I’m still Covid-19 free as far as I know. I’m out for my walk with Harry daily and I’m seeing neighbours albeit at a distance. No further health issues. Toby is fine though the surgery now closed for all but emergencies & I need to order pet medication on line. … Continue reading Ten days on.
Coronavirus 1
I’ve just been out for a walk with the delightful Harry. All is quiet. It feels like a Sunday. Only two others seen walking (in the distance) and a few cars but strange, really strange.

It’s been a while!
Is anyone else just feeling exhausted. Climate change, Brexit, uncertainty generally. It’s a wonder we haven’t all gone mad by now. Tonight I headed off for my sound bath. Unfortunately we were double booked and the Pilates class got in first. Hey Ho! The fact that that is my response rather than my usual rant … Continue reading It’s been a while!
Transformational Leadership! John Malcolm Melling & John Chisholm Cole.
Don’t panic folks! This isn’t going to be too heavy, just some musings after the final send off for a friend committed to the service of others. A new experience last Thursday! I attended a Quaker memorial service for John Malcolm Melling, a lovely man I’ve known for over 15 years. I was a … Continue reading Transformational Leadership!
