the present of time - December 3, 2022
By Mary Haines
There is a subtle pressure that encourages us to spend money to be happy. I may sound bah humbug, which I don’t really want to do. Rather, I would like us to be able to celebrate the Christmas season without it costing the earth and eroding our mental health.
grief - the price we pay for love - September 21, 2022
By Mary Haines
Dying during the covid pandemic, it was only last month that we said a final farewell to my 96yr old mum, celebrating her life with a service of thanksgiving. Echoes of what was said about her resonate with the comments being made about Queen Elizabeth II in the wake of her recent death.
control - July 27, 2022
By Mary Haines
We may not have control over the circumstances we find ourselves in but we can have control over how we respond to them and how consequently we treat one another and how we live out our lives to make the world around us a better place to be.
naomhòg, the prayer boat - June 10, 2022
By Mary Haines
It is not necessarily an easy option living the canal way of life but we have appreciated the wonderful community spirit and there is such a breadth and depth to life on the Cut and surrounding areas. I am not naive, I realise it won’t all be rosy but it’s an adventure and an opportunity to do something new and see parts of Britain that to date we have never seen.
