After nearly three miles of running along the beautiful sandy sea weedy ‘middle beach’ of Studland Bay, I reached the end and saw a line of traffic queuing to the edge of the water; a tall man who had run past me as I was running along the beach, was waiting there too with a…

Every year I experience a little death during the festive season of December. Whether I am at home in the UK or anywhere else in the world, I tend to feel similar feelings and have similar thoughts. I would personally rather avoid them, if I could choose, but it seems that either the weather, the…

As I sit here writing I can hear rain, persistent and heavy… All I’ve heard is rain since we arrived in England last Wednesday… But it lends itself to a green lush land, and is an enjoyable and different experience for us – as well as for my feet.. Although Anadi has laughingly asked me…

Anadi and I ran together for a last run on our endless beach… The playa with a timeless feel to it, so easy to cover the miles… Today we spotted six other barefoot runners, brown bodies, brown feet blending with the landscape; and as we ran we watched the beach get busier, the surfers starting…

I believe there is a subtle change in the air. This year, I feel completely relaxed and not at all worried or stressed about preparing for Christmas. Usually by this time I would be frantically writing Christmas cards and wrapping Christmas gifts, but I don’t feel the urgency. And I can see the same sense…

This week I thought I would share with you a little about a presentation that I gave earlier this week. It was the last session of 2018 for The Business Haven, a networking group based in Portishead, and was followed by a fun Christmas lunch. The lunch included a draw with many wonderful prizes, donated…

A perfect storm is an event in which a rare combination of circumstances drastically aggravates the event. The term is used by analogy to an unusually severe storm that results from a rare combination of meteorological phenomena. (Wikipedia) Have you ever found yourself in a situation where one thing after another seems to be going against you? It can really zap…

This year for me has been very topsy turvy. What I mean with this is that I have been living in a dimension where everything is amplified, my emotional and psychological life has become very unstable, possibly as unstable as I was during my teenage years. My friends ‘the hormones’ are throwing me back in…

Anadi and I walked off the plane into the wet grey of an English summer day in July… The airport tarmac felt warm beneath my feet, and wet too of course… But fun, a bit like the joy of jumping in puddles, play time – stepping out into wild wet windy ness… And I noticed…

I am feeling a lot of emotion at the moment. You might have seen my previous blog post about the importance of precious memories, and perhaps you have followed my posts during the past few weeks as I experienced grief, and the stark contrast between life and death. On the pagan calendar, the wheel of…

I returned from my intervals on the beach yesterday morning and Anadi and I wandered through the pueblo to sit and enjoy our customary Spanish breakfast of tostados y aceite y tomate y cafe con leche… We decided over breakfast to go on an ‘outing’ to explore Medina Sidonia… When I first started to learn…
