The sort of friendships that last a lifetime...

Hi everyone

This week I was very fortunate to be able to see Calendar Girls at the Wadebridge Town Hall. It was a production by the Camhayle Theatre Club and it was excellent. I felt as if I was one of the members of the Knapeley WI sharing in the ups and downs of village life. The story of the pain and sadness of John Clarke’s diagnosis of leukaemia and the celebration of his life with the nude calendar by the ladies of the WI was poignant and truly memorable.

There were many lessons to take away from the evening but for me it was about friendship; the sort of friendships that last a lifetime. As Christmas approaches and we become buried in things to do let’s not forget our friends, the people who are always there for us holding our best interests to their hearts. These are the people who know when we are down but putting on a face for the world, these are the ones who tell us to go see your homeopath you need a remedy!!
Thank you to all our friends and we will be there through the good times and bad because that is what friends do.
 
Wishing you all a good week.

Bye for now

Today as I was walking in the woods...

Hi everyone

Today as I was walking in the woods in the rain with our dear dog Meg, I was reminded to live in the moment. Meg was having a lovely time sniffing the piles of fallen leaves, listening for things to chase, following trails left by other animals; she wasn’t worried by the rain or the chill in the air. Meg doesn’t have lots of baggage to drag around with her, she lives for the moment she is in and enjoys it. A lesson for me and for us all I think.


The woods were beautiful today, the autumn leaves washed with rain were even more colourful and the quiet was so restful. I am glad that I didn’t miss it by being bogged down with my stuff. Thank you Meg.

Wishing you all a good week.

Bye for now
