Imagine if we Didn't Feel Pain

Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares
Posted on Tue, 11 Feb 2020
Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares is an example of everything which is wrong with the human race. I enjoyed this piece about the little conflicts that occur inside our heads and reasons behind them. I can lose myself in the mug section in Homesense...

A fine tribute to these incredible animals, to think they were once a staple part of our diet. I enjoyed the slippery, fluid movement throughout. A shimmering length of muscle, who needs legs?

Hi Rhiannon. Thanks for your comment. I agree with you, some people cannot accept help or are so far gone that they don't know how to ask for it and yet those connected with them would have done anything to help.

I can really relate to this and the pleasure you derive from walking in the forest. I think the Japanese refer to it as a 'forest bath'. I wonder if there could ever be a return of some of the creatures we've lost now that we have too many deer...

Posted on Fri, 27 Sep 2019
Hi Rhiannon. This reminds me of the cosy nights in, indoor heat and nice things to eat and all the glowing shades outside. We're so lucky aren't we, to have warm, clean houses and such a choice of food. Every season has its grey days, you're ...
