Take a Seat and Pick Up a Book

Take a Seat and Pick Up a Book

It's Roald Dahl's birthday today - he would have been 100 years old and on the radio this morning they were discussing favourite parts of Roald Dahl books. Just a couple of weeks after Willy Wonka was in the news after the sad death of Gene Wilder it had me thinking about the film. I [...]

When All I Need’s a Hand to Stop the Tears From Falling

When All I Need’s a Hand to Stop the Tears From Falling

I heard Emeli Sande singing Next to Me on the radio the other morning as I drove to work and the lyrics resonated with me. You won't find him drinking at the tables Rolling dice and staying out 'til three You won't ever find him being unfaithful You will find him, you'll find him next [...]

Look Who’s Coming to Dinner

The beauty of SL for me has always been about people. I have met people from countries that I will probably never get the opportunity to visit.
