I have always had a deep love and respect for poetry: TS Eliot's 'Macavity - The Mystery Cat' http://tiny.cc/9it0ex thrilled me as a child and later Shakespeare's sonnets http://www.shakespeare-online.com/sonnets/17.html and plays 'Othello', 'Hamlet', 'Macbeth', 'The Tempest', 'Richard III', 'A Midsummer Nights Dream', 'The Merchant of Venice', 'The Taming of The Shrew' and 'The Twelfth Night' introduced me to history, fantasy,…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQvs9tmzWtEThey say if you can survive the winter then you are meant to be here. It’s not so much that it’s an expedition worthy of polar or arctic preparations but Ibiza is financially a summer seasonal island ergo winters here are, economically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually testing.

I was having a lovely time in London anyway and it seemed like life had fired me one of its 'message received' signals. I smile about that day even now and as deep in my photo archives as it…

Prehistoric forest arises in Cardigan Bay after storms strip away sand
Prehistoric forest arises in Cardigan Bay after storms strip away sand
Skeletal trees of Borth forest, last alive 4,500 years ago and linked to lost kingdom of Cantre'r Gwaelod, appear at shoreline
I loved this story in The Guardian today - it is a good reminder that no matter what we humans think of ourselves, we cannot control the weather and that there is and will always be something much greater than us out there. It is also a reminder that the earth, trees, plants will be here in some way, shape or form long after we have gone. It is a timely reality check.
