Learning from the experts

I had the opportunity yesterday to join a local nature group for a few hours, the intent being to explore an area of mountain grassland not far from my home. I was a little disconcerted to find myself the only amateur among a group of experienced and highly knowledgeable entomologists and ornithologists (all men!), but […]

Football and beyond

I may be one of just a handful of people who is unmoved by the the football World Cup which has just begun. I am unlikely to watch it, but if the England team does well then I will be happy for all its supporters, even though I feel more Welsh than English! It is […]

Leadership

The oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico is bringing to light many aspects of the character of man, some of them admirable, some of them less so. We may see the compassion of the many who seek out and tend the damaged birds and animals; we may see the dignity and integrity of some […]

On time and in trust

Many of the bird visitors from the south are getting ready to return home, having achieved their purpose of producing young in a temporate climate. I will miss them. They have been here a few weeks, but their departure is a sign that we are nearing the summer solstice and that soon the nights will […]

Winds of change

The energy of change everywhere is very strong at the moment, and I sense it particularly today. It is not just what I wrote about yesterday - imposed changes in attitude to the "me" and "must have" society as a result of the worldwide financial crisis - but it applies to our sense of self, […]

There is much in the British news today about the need for severe cuts and retrenchment which will affect everybody because of the massive debt the country has built up. I will be unpopular for saying this, but while I know I will feel pain too - quite rightly - in many ways I welcome […]

Cumbria yesterday

There can be few people in Britain, at least, who were not touched or shocked by the killings in Cumbria yesterday, on a beautiful summer's day in an idyllic rural idyll. It is a stark reminder of the uncertainty of life and of human nature. You who read this know, I am sure, that everyone […]

Happiness

I heard a snippet of a discussion on the radio the other night on the nature of happiness. It appears there are calls for our new Prime Minister, David Cameron, to legislate to bring in tools to make people happier. Someone else argued that it was impossible to be happy if you are unemployed or […]

When a situation becomes unacceptable

For a little while now we have been building up to an increasingly volatile international situation, coming to a head in the next few days and then in the next few weeks. Israel's attack on the Gaza aid convoy over the weekend may prove to be a catalyst in this, and also an opportunity for […]

Responsibility?

The blame game is well under way as President Obama says he holds BP totally responsible for the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, while BP has accused its American subsidiary running the rig as having failed. The American people are starting to blame the Obama administration meanwhile. What is being overlooked here is […]
