Our dog is certainly a mongrel, when we got her as a pup we were told that she contained the following: Bichon Frise, Staffy, Husky and Malamute. As a result she does not shed much fur, she loves the snow but until recently she was in desperate need of a trim as she is starting […]
It was the 4th of March, and I was working at school. Some teachers started to talk about a possible closing of the schools, some said that it wouldn’t be possible, that last time the school closed was during the second world war.

I was asked recently, “Do you believe in heaven?” As you walk through the airport terminal signs, images, smells and crowds of people carrying their luggage bombard the senses.

On a dark clear night, staring at the milky-way, it is staggering to think of the awesome place we call space.
