For the last few weeks, we’ve been very struck with the thirst for beauty throughout our society. We are suffering under a deliberate ‘uglification’ of our world, and this has significant repercussions for our day-to-day and our futures.

Join us as we discuss beauty and its role in our lives.

Minus two…

It was only a few months ago that I posted about our youngest daughter starting university in a far away city

That has prompted our other daughter to spread her wings and leave the nest as well.

We are now part time empty nesters, but this could easily become a full time occupation the way things are going.

This has left us with.. spare time and energy -lots of it.

My wife has taken to quilting in a big way, which at this point means the dining table is not for dining anymore, but more worryingly half the garage has been swallowed up with quilting stuff. (mental note -I must get another motorcycle before its too late).
