A Simple Kindess

You know what a simple kindness doesn't have to be a physical gift.


It can be a Facebook comment , a smile or even a tweet.


Simplicity matters.


Simple things.



The world doesn't have to be complicated does it now ?

Why can't more people be like that ?

Running With The Wolves

I am balancing my studies it's a hard act between going back to unjversity and balancing family, work and blog life . Last time I was in study was 20 odd years ago studying Heritage Conservation at Nottingham with WEA . 

Never one to belong to the student crowd when I was 18 I saw my friends go to Oxford and Cambridge the very friends I had sat next to in Latin class. Don't let the romance of this take you in as study was and still is hard for me.

I excelled at school and as such was put into the top sets but then I was in the big league a mouse running with the wolves. I levelled out against such excellence and as such I didn't make it to university I had no alma mater.

So now I am thrown back into it and I was gutted when at first I bombed out memories came flooding back of not quite making it the first time as my friends happily settled into the life of Porter Blues !

So I had one to one tutorial and I feel I'm back on track.

Running with wolves is easy once you find your feet !

Serenity Lane

I feel life is a blur as we all rush , rush towards Christmas !

It's an exciting time !

But sometimes I escape ...

To serenity lane ....

London By Lamplight

What happened when I decided to roam round London, inextricably linked with protests I ran into one of those but I didn't want to take a picture . The London I wanted to capture was the real London and a London in darkness is a very beautiful , hypnotic place.

Ooh and the angles just pure bliss !

Reaction to social media interaction

I think blogging and social media interaction quite frankly is what you make off it.

You by the very publishing of a photo , blog post or comment lay yourself open to debate. That is not to say people can't have strong opinions but it having the strength of conviction to justify your opinion.

People will agree with you 

People will disagree with you 

People will find solidarity with you 

People will take arms against you 

Times and opinions shift , social media is rather like a blue touch paper ! People will toss in an opinion and watch it rather like the fall of Rome .

I take it in my stride now and stand back from people reactions ...
