I wrote to my friend before going off on holiday to Cardiff as follows: I shall carry the following text in the middle of my head "Love and peace is the centre of everything' To which he responded, text below, It is clear then that you carried nothing! If everything came from nothing at the beginning of the universe then the centre of everything will also be nothing. If love and peace are the...

Attacking my lingering addiction for sugar – LONG Article- not by me!
I know this diary is primarily to record my own events but occasionally I do find something that jumps out of the page of me, maybe because I'm ready for it, but I find in this case a certain compulsion about reading the whole article from beginning to end.

Some major changes are going to take place in the next two to five years and as you can see below there is some wonderful building going on, on what used to be a car park and a wood. I cannot record a less romantic view from the window of our room. I suppose it qualifies as a city...
Trip to Swansea
Wednesday was the day that I allocated to go to Swansea by train and enable Francoise to have a swim in the Olympic size national swimming pool which is part of a very ambitious Sports Complex in Swansea. We caught the 10.40 train from Cardiff Central to Swansea, a journey of about an hour. The cost for us both using our Two Together card was £18.70. It was very pleasant to take a break from the...
