Your Time Is Running Out
The outbreak of war in the Ukraine has given me pause for thought, in more ways than one. As a child, I saw the mental, emotional and physical scars that my Polish grandparents and relatives endured after surviving World War II. But this time around, as an adult, I am not living those traumas second hand, I am watching them unfold in real-time.

The Biker With A Big Heart
It took several drafts to get the letters right. To dis-till her boy’s life into the two dimensionality of words on paper. To paint a picture of someone full of energy and love, so that the beneficiaries of his death—the recipients of his organs— would know just how lucky they were.

Megalithic monuments of the lost continent of Mu
Stretching from the Mariana Islands in the northwest to Easter Island in the southeast, the Lemurian civilisation is said to have thrived on the lost continent of Mu until about 12,000 years ago when it was supposedly submerged by “the great flood” and other natural disasters perhaps caused by the passing of planet Nibiru, which allegedly travels in an eliptical 3,600-year orbit around our sun.

Thank you for the love
Since day one you filled my sight with beauty: trees, flowers, smiles, eyes overflowing with love as they looked into mine. You made the most harmonious sounds continuously pass my ears: singing birds, running wind, breaking waves. You had me feel all the wonders that surround me: grainy sand, sharp rocks, hot sunshine on my face. You allowed me to discover a rainbow of flavours from the sweetness of honey to a bitter coffee. You put your favorite perfumes in my nose: flowers at the beginning of spring, humid dirt after a rainy night, salty ocean air.

A Frugal dream in Portugal 2.
Thursday 26th March Spring!!! The weather is still absolutely gorgeous, Spring has sprung and I heard my first Cuckoo on Tuesday and almost everyday since. The woodpeckers are hard at it and we have butterflies everywhere. It's wonderful, just as if summer has come three months early. One of the many many things we find so incredible about living here in the forest away from other people is the vast amount of wildlife we see or hear everyday. Wild boar, pine marten and so many varieties of birds and insects are all around us.

A Frugal dream in Portugal.
Introduction This diary is all about what we are trying to do here on our land. We came to Portugal to find peace, tranquility, and a healthier, better life. To get away from the violent, dirty and stressful lifestyle of the UK. We are Rick & Pat, we moved out to Portugal to live a frugal but better, simpler and peaceful life Our house is a very basic, semi ruin, up in the hills and forest outside Figueiro Dos Vinhos, where we work our land, enjoy life with each other and our dogs, and hope to make the smallest carbon footprint we can, We live our lives as simply as we can, we enjoy working out a frugal yet happy lifestyle, we're renovating our home as we go, we have a miniscule amount of money, we feed ourselves from the land and tend to live as frugally as possible, make our own wine, olive oil and drink water from our well. That doesn't mean we go without... we have a far richer, more varied lifestyle than ever before, it's all about real quality of life... and we have that in buckets full!!

Makeup Across The Ages
How did we as human beings get to the point wherein we spend billions of greenbacks yearly on cosmetics and it became the social norm for ladies to put on cosmetics normal Assuredly a female manner back in records did not virtually awaken in the future and determine to use eyelashes, lipstick, eyeliner, basis, and rouge suddenly? No, it changed into, like many things, a fruit of happenings from past times.

SERENDIPITY
In 2022 I am going to promote serendipity, connection, openness and inclusivity where-ever I go. With strangers in the park passing by. With cashiers at the local supermarket. With shop tenders. With old, young, challenged, family, friends, homeless, animals and any walk of life.
