I was talking to mum last night and was amazed at the age of 77 she has just purchased her first treadmill! Since losing Dad, mum has tried to keep active, she says that walking and activity helps keep the depression and grief at bay.

Do you ever have that feeling of loneliness? Do you ever feel alone? I know I do. I feel lucky as I have 3 cats - Molly, Mabel and Harry. I never meant to have cats but unfortunately - or fortunately! - I have many farmer friends who do not want the farm cats offsprings…I […]

I could not believe the news about the healthy, upcoming actor Heath Ledger. I always believe that the one thing we can offer people in death, is some dignity.
