A Gay American Bishop
In the last few hours, America has elected it's first Anglican Bishop who is openly gay. Gene Robinson is now the Episcopalian Bishop of New Hampshire. So, does this mean that those quotes from the Bible that are always rolled out to 'prove' that homosexuality is against the will of God are now seen...

Full Loll
I have SO MUCH to do in the next three days. And I've been saying that since last week (except then it was in the next eight days) and yet my motivation and energy have just deserted me. I spent a wonderful weekend at a festival in Scotland, sleeping in a friends teepee in a gorgeous, quiet forest,...

Ooooh! We ARE All Getting Personal!!
Butthead launches an attack on Chris. MHW steps in to defend Chris. Butthead and MHW start sparring in the Comments section. HoneyKat creates a blog spoofing Butthead. Crabby pleads with HK to desist, to move on to more interesting ground. So here below is the definitive and final word on all this...

Chillin' in the Town
That was a LONG walk! We're blessed with sunshine and heat today, so I took my visiting family down the hill, up the other side to the castle, through the woods and up onto Ha Hill - an ancient burial mound - then on through the park to the swings and paddling pool, where the girls had a ball. We...

Guests, Priorities & Soup
I have guests arriving in less than four hours. They come as a package, a family of four, so I need to move out to let them move in. Which is fine, as they are such delightful people. Mike is from the Mid-West, has lived in the UK for over ten years, is a trained actor and theatre director, and now...

A Stream of Midnight Blue
Harry's just left, and the clock is creeping towards tomorrow. I sit at my spot-lit desk, the rain has stopped and the wind has dropped and the darkness outside is complete. The noisiest thing in this house right now is the hum of the laptop fan and the tap of my fingers hitting keys. (I once asked...

Home, Finally
And for a solid three weeks, too, which feels great! And it's looking like a busy three weeks. I have a book to finish in that time. I have a family coming to stay for a week, plus a couple of friends for a few days. I'm off to see ZZ Top tonight, a property auction tomorrow, and a craft fair at the...

A Woodland Dawn
I've been up since 5am, and I'm now between a long, beautiful walk in the woods, and our morning meditation session. Walking in the woods as the sun is coming up is a serene experience. I don't crash along, but rather take a few steps, quietly and respectfully, before stopping and looking and...

Sunday, Sunday
A weekend at Schumacher. Time for quiet contemplation of the events and learnings of the previous weeks, some study in the stunningly good library here, and some work on my book. (I broke the 40,000 word barrier at lunchtime! This means that, if I do no more in the next three weeks (highly...
