The Best Walk…

The Birthday Surprise…

by
We made an early start, setting off at 10. am. They said I might recognise the route, and a blindfold was debated.

A Surprise Six on Saturday…

I didn’t think anything was stirring in the jungle yet, but something made me wander outside for a look. It was raining, that slow, drenching rain and visibility was poor.

Today, the year of the Wood Dragon begins. A year of progress, growth and abundance, for everyone in one form or another. I often find the Chinese predictions very accurate, so as this Dragon Year is unique, especially if you were born in one, I wanted to learn more about it. The DRAGON Year for…
