Gemini 2017 I didn’t feel like singing ‘Happy Birthday Mr President’ for my Gemini post. Although I had something lined up to say about number 45, I was going to wait for Cancer time (mothers and children) to post about Manchester. But I haven’t, as it is much more important than any wandering president. I feel so sad about Manchester, and …
Going to hell in a handbasket?
Aries 2017 Despite the news, I am still hopeful about the world. The weather here has been great and I have been posting tulips on FB as an antidote to the news – maybe it helps.

Our broken democracy
Cancer 2016 Lately, I often hear myself asking “what the hell is wrong with the world?” There is an overdose of sad, horrific and bizarre items in the news.
