About The Book Head Porter’s hopes for a quiet life are dashed not only by the return to Old College of one of academia’s most controversial Fellows, but also the revelation that the Knights Templar may once have left behind something quite important in the College grounds. As Deputy Head Porter and The Dean mount […]
Footsteps of the Templar – ‘A Peculiar Type of Morality’ — Lucy Brazier
I am finding more and more public houses in the UK, where they sub-let their restaurants to offer multi-cultural cuisine. There are chinese and indian outlets (for instance) offering food to eat in and take-away and I think it’s a fantastic idea. It creates revenue, whilst offering variety at the same time. It’s right for all cultures to ‘mix up,’ that’s what life’s all about. TBH©
Last year was my biggest adventure. It seemed to last forever too. I learned so much about the world and ‘humanity.’ There are some beautiful people out there. A few years ago, I did not think anything could restore my trust in human nature, following a chain of incidents that are difficult to forget. In fact – they still continue but it is about putting our energy ahead of all that.
I love to write. Though, it is not my main activity, as I cannot bear sitting at home all day. I love to travel too and am a sucker for ‘community.’ But during these cold months we have to consider our safety on the roads. I travel with two tiny dogs. They matter. Evie feels the cold – she is still a puppy. It has been hard for me to see all the people I want to see over Christmas and the New Year. So, I have kept it tight … It’s been, well, ‘quirky’ and fun …
I do know, I have to get a book finished. It is not easy to write as it is about my journey and to do this I have to re-live parts that are uncomfortable. But I hope it will help others. Like everyone, I do have a ‘personal’ life too that is my own keeping. I learned that putting too much on the internet encourages those ‘two out there’ who already have a voice to use the material for their own purpose. A dreadful and horrid thing, but it does happen. Where positives are turned to negatives from an ivory tower – stuck in darkness. I must protect those I love who get pulled into it. It is just not fair.
I love to come here, to read blogs and chat with others who have their words and hobbies. WordPress keeps me sane. Less is More – I will be back in the Spring with more news! So a big Happy New Year.

I hope you all had a great Easter break. Thanks for the people who’ve got in touch regarding BellEvaUK. It’s a little website for those who started out like me -to get together and have a community point to share art, music, news and blogs etc.
However, due to a property project I am not going to find much time between now and summer to put my ‘all’ in to it. I’ve still been online. Mainly on YouTube building play lists of music to keep me going with the paint brush. I’ve been popping on and off here and media to see what my friends are up to.
I had an operation on my jaw on February 3rd. I was told to take it real easy for a few months. However just a few days after, I was cleaning and emptying my apartment in Warwick for the new owner. I’ve had the place for a few years. It was tenanted and looked after itself. But as the tenants left I decided to sell it. There’s not a lot of equity there but it’s part of letting go of the past.
It would be fair to say I’ve had a rubbish solicitor and what should have taken a few weeks to complete is now into its third month. I would advise anybody who purchases a leasehold property (most multi-apartment blocks are) to check the fine print. They’re not the easiest things to get rid of. Then much to my dismay, I discover somebody going way back to 2007 took a loan out against the property. This really did throw me into a pickle. It’s all getting resolved but talk about red tape …
Amidst all of this I sadly lost a close relative. It’s true that ‘sometimes’ everything seems to come at once, doesn’t it!
But apart from that all is good. I am going away for a couple of days later in the month with Wetnose Animal Aid. It will be heart rendering at times – but good to spend time with Andrea. I will let you know more during our trip.
I’m off to Warwick next week. It’s great to have the lighter nights back. The winters are too long. Have a nice weekend.
