The Power of Nature
The exhilarating roar of the waves fills your ears, the spray makes your cheeks glisten and you can’t tear your eyes away from the powerful beauty of the water…
Cross cultural relationships
In the light of my recent post about Marrying into a different culture, today we’re finding the beauty in love across the barricades. It seems that my family’s embrace of other cultures has had far-reaching consequences…

Yummy Mummy
In support of Yummy Mummy Week, 10th – 18th March 2012, in the UK, I’m sharing this picture of cake with you. The instructions said “a cake…” but, hell, who stops at one?
Beauty or Beast?
Back in Britain, Canada Geese always had that exotic cachet of having flown in from some far-away land. A little part of Canada right there in our midst!
It was amusing to discover that your average Canuck doesn’t hold them in such high esteem.
Birthday Boy!
For today’s “You’re Beautiful”, I can’t help but focus on the miracle of life. The fragility and need of a newborn that pulls on the heartstrings like the most adept of puppet-masters, and the wonder of watching a child grow – those sudden jolts of realization when, for an instant, you are acutely aware of just how far they’ve come.
The most precious things
It can happen any day. There doesn’t have to be anything special going on. But there’ll be that heart-stopping, cloud-clearing moment when you’re suddenly infused with happiness as you realise that you have all you need in this world, right here with you, right now. And that moment is just perfection…
A quiet moment
Where do butterflies go to die?
You know winter has arrived when you find the delicate, desiccated corpses of summers butterflies lying scattered, like confetti, on the beach… the stencils on their tissue-wings drained of vibrant colour, stark and tragically beautiful in their uncommon stillness.
