The mountains are so raw and unyielding; and yet so embracing and inviting… This is our fifth visit here and we have more measure of them now… We know how to work in harmony with their energy and presence; to get up early in summer months before the sun has risen over their peaks and…

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…

Today has been a lovely day, a special day… A day filled with joy and love and connection. All days have this within their essence… Each day we live has the potential to be a special day, a day filled with love, connection and joy. The key is that we stay at all times connected…

Winchmore Hill became a party street today, a big wheel right in the centre, and a stage on the green, Morris dancers in the street…Art… Music, food, clothes jewellery, gin! Everything in abundance and people crowded, packed together, enjoying the summer’s warmth… Perfect for the occasion. I could hear the merriment outside the peace of…

I arrived at Bank tube station and walked out slap bang into the middle of London town, my feet bejewelled with pearls for the occasion; the pavement so hot in places I was glad of cool shady slabs that greeted me in the shadow of the tall elegant buildings, reaching for the sky. 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 imagine I brought writing and running in with me, as I have loved to do them all my life and it’s never changed, ever… I was too scared to follow the writing path when I was twenty… I had left school after my A levels and worked for my coach in his very innovative…

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…
