I am just back from a rather typical ‘Julia shopping trip’… I gave my last pair of trousers to Maggie, who the Zen runners know because she did all the organising of hotels, travel, trips, everything I needed… She is a star. She admired my trousers and as I ‘cull’ my clothes regularly, so that…

All my life I have been someone who has been known for treading the ‘naughty path’… I remember being away alone in Tenerife one Christmas… I had just arrived and was getting my bearings… Which way to run? My neighbours suggested going down to the sea, and then taking the path to the left over…

Today I ran around the smooth beautifully kept cricket green with Anadi – (very early in the morning!) – for the last time for a few months… I have imprinted in my memory the vision of green, greenness, waving willows, smooth pitches, white boards… and, quiet peace countryside… The hum of London traffic in the…

I am on the train on my way into Central London… I have new jewels on my feet, pearls this time! The pavement was hot under my soles, as I walked to the station a sunny summer day… Beauteous feeling, rising spirit, freedom… Yesterday I wrote one line on a word document… My new book…

I stepped out into the glorious summer morn, ever so slightly reluctantly! My feet are now ready to run, as far as I want to and they are loving it… But my legs are now unfurling from relative hibernation for nearly a year and are doing their best to keep up with the enthusiasm of…

I lapped my huge grassy park again yesterday round and about loops up and down around… The big tractor was mowing the grass and so one field was super smooth summer cut green, and others were thick with clover, with patches that were damp delicious for my feet… And as I ran and felt once…

Trent Park, a magical fairy tale woodland delight… Dappled shade, dancing beams of golden sun, flashing like swords through the trees… Guiding me on my mission… The secret mission on earth, that I am only discovering and uncovering through living and listening to my intuition; following the clues… The secret mission that I came here…

We went to see the musical ‘Beautiful…’ yesterday afternoon… Anadi’s name for me is ‘Beautiful’ and so it felt a fitting show to go to ? In essence it was the story of Carol King, her amazing gift for song writing and singing, her relationship with her first husband and her courage in finding her…

I have just come in from stretching with Octavious; while I was there Nina our ‘dueña’, came to bring him his breakfast… He started to slowly make his way out; his day beginning. Nina and I had a chat which was a fun way to stretch, occasionally reaching for my toes when I remembered that…

Running in bare feet is a bit like having a puppy or a baby, it lends itself to connection and conversation… I met a man in the park yesterday called Jim. He was walking round the huge playing fields in Enfield with his black labrador Casandra and my naked feet opened the dialogue… We then…

I am sitting in ‘The Larder’ coffee shop, waiting for Anadi who is making his way from a meeting in central London… I have had a wonderful morning which has involved running round and around in circles… A joyous delight for me; as I say at the end of my vlog… ‘It takes all sorts…’!…

We woke at 5.40am yesterday – the morning sun creeping over the hills, softly softly – the day gentle and balmy, the temperature clement, like a fresh summer morn… But we knew the force of the sun’s rays would soon be beaming down on us, in vibrant yellow energy, hot, shining shards of light; until…
