To go on a pilgrimage is to travel to a shrine or sacred site, usually completing the final miles on foot. It is to pass along a path to a place of devotional, spiritual significance. But is that all there is to it? Is the destination the goal? Is the motivation simply to arrive? What … Continue reading “Pilgrimage”
Writing lines that will never be read, Words tumbling and jostling around in my head, A lyric named “what I wish I had said – but I didn’t.” Hearing a song that no one will sing, That elusive tune only silence can bring, Wishing I’d sung it like a bird on the wing – but I … Continue reading “I didn’t… ?”
She stood, proud against the sea blown gales, her heart forged in the melting pot of a chaotic planet. The Mountain.She held secrets, secrets given to her as the world was formed around her. Secrets which rose her head high above the land. Secrets she held inside throughout time, holding them close, guarding them as … Continue reading “Parys Mountain”
What turns “everyday normal people” into screaming firebrands of pent up energy? What has the power to split families, create rivalries, draw lines across the country and paint areas, ghetto-like, in one colour? What gives thousands upon thousands of people intense delight and gut-wrenching frustration on a weekly basis? What has created a universal language … Continue reading “FOOTBALL”
just wondering where this post will end up on my site – which page! I am a dedicated technophobe trying to make sense of this computerised world.
All I ever wanted to do when I grew up was live in a hedge. Seriously, all I ever wanted was to live in a hedge. It seemed so simple to a seven year old – thick hedges are warm and dry and comfortable. I dreamed of living in nature, watching the seasons change, finding … Continue reading “html = hedges, truly modern living”
Having spent time sitting contemplating the sheer magnificence of mountains, I was left wondering what it is about them that calls mankind towards them in worship. Why do we feel the need to draw and paint them, to write poetry and songs proclaiming their magnificence. Why do we struggle up the ascents simply to slide … Continue reading “MOUNTAINS AND MEDITATIONS”
April 2018 – Shrublands Farm, North Repps Hidden in the comfort of our metal gypsy wagon, I watch a pair of pheasants pick their way around the sympathetically camouflaged green painted toilets towards me. Stunningly marked, such creatures are better enjoyed thus – still wearing their feathers. It saddens me that this brace, these comrades … Continue reading “Beauty and our inner beast”
We had often talked of wild camping. To motorhome owners this is a foray into the savage, untamed wilds of lay-bys or car parks – without electric hookup! It is ridiculed by the macho backpackers who venture into the real wilderness….but hey ho, we can feel as though we are being brave in our metal … Continue reading “Wild Camping”
As “Conscious Folk” we have considered our impact on this planet. This is not a “is global warming man-made” discussion….where I sit right now mammoths roamed in a tropical jungle and an ice age formed the landscape. This is just a tiny piece about how after all that, people are messing it up. … Continue reading “Our tiny blue planet…”
Dear Traveller, one of the worst things that can happen whilst being away in the van is finding that also sharing the journey, sitting grinning inanely out of the windscreen, is a diarrhoea and vomiting bug. Murderous! Especially if there are no toilets nearby!! See, we have an agreement....no solids in the van toilet. Not that diarrhoea is solid but....you get the idea. How many holes can one dig without leaving the area looking like a mole army battleground? A toxic mole army battleground at that. The dreaded D/V struck us both whilst we were enjoying a peaceful weekend in the Suffolk countryside in an orderly and pristine campsite. Just making it outside at dark-o-clock to throw up right outside the van door is not conducive to a romantic break. Nor does it endear one to one's fellow field-sharers. Then there is the hurried trot (sorry!) to the camp toilet block ....again and again. Probably leaving a well-worn trail in the camp site's beautifully manicured grass. Never mind what we left in the impossibly clean facilities. Well....we came home. Having invented a new high number on the Bristol Stool chart, we did not want to share our new found infamy.

Wow, awesome blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your site is great,
as well as the content!
I think that what you composed was very logical.
But, think on this, suppose you were to write a awesome headline?
I am not saying your information is not good, but suppose you added a title that grabbed people’s attention? I mean What'
s the worst that can happen… – THROUGH THE GLASS is kinda boring.
You ought to peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create article headlines to get people to open the links.
You might add a related video or a related
pic or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve
got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.
You can certainly see your skills within the article you write.
The world hopes for more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to say how
they believe. All the time go after your heart.
