A Picture of Sustainability

My submission for Caydoo competition, titled The Man with the Plan, really should have won but for the small  matter of our sponsorship that weekend get away would have been mine!  Seriously, a large Swedish man in a totally ridiculous wrapped GREEN Smart car with foot prints all over it that's gold medal caliber.

2017: We'll Pretend You Haven't Been

By Bryan VN -
 Hello and Happy Christmas Writing to you this year from Cheltenham via Avebury were in addition to the largest megalithic stone circle in the world the pagans were out in force playing drums and praying to stones it was in the local parlance(probably not)-massive! Topping off the trip, nearby Silbury Hill stands as the largest man-made mound in Europe comparative in height and volume to the roughly contemporary Egyptian pyramids-in England! Speaking of piles of ummm dirt, 2017 was once again full of them in the news. Still despite the many backward, ill informed, neonationalist, greedy, intolerant, misogynist types in the world, plenty of progress was apparent. Even in Saudi Arabia, were in addition to other reforms, women can now drive cars by themselves-how 21st century! While the public policy response to the real eminent threats from climate related disasters like hurricanes, forest fires and drought serve as reminder that we are all sharing the same planet and need to do bett...

Ho HO Hello It’s that time of year again wishing you and your people a merry Christmas and all the best for a happy and healthy new year.  Here with some of our whereabouts and what not for the year.  Writing to you from Shipston on Stour, deep in the horsey heart of the Cotswolds, where the yellow Jurassic Limestone houses and classic country living make for a nice change from our busy Lewes lives. We’ve already taken in our pantomime, Beauty and the Beast, at the Oxford Playhouse, and Christmas Eve movie, The Hobbit, with the pleasure of being with some good people(+food) we're feeling pretty blessed. The Year in as few words as possible: Following on Marian and Rosie’s inspiration William, now 10, has picked up the cello.  With a great deal of support from his mom is now making some beautiful music that we’re always glad to hear. He’s pretty good and this activity looks to be sticking so we’re pleased for that and with group session, lessons and pending Gr...
