Let's Appreciate
Posted on 1:53pm Wednesday 4th July 2007
At an event I was involved in this week one of the delegates made and impassioned plea to those assembled to pause and appreciate Herefordshire’s indigenous talent. At the time we were talking about establishing a Multiversity for Herefordshire – a locally distinctive form of higher education that has sustainable development principles at its heart.

The ‘Precautionary Principle’ is a well established scientific principle. It is a response to uncertainty, particularly in the face of risks to health or the environment. In general, it involves acting to avoid serious or irreversible potential harm.There may be no evidence to suggest there will be harm, but there may also be no evidence to suggest that there will not be.

Patriotism and other stuff!!
Posted on 10:02am Saturday 16th June 2007
Patriotism. It’s something different to everyone. Americans are very patriotic and are into big gestures and over the top emotions. (Something I expect gives cause most Brits to think we are all totally barking mad.) But then Americans don’t understand the ‘stiff upper lip’ that the Brits are so proud of, so I guess that makes us even.

Food Future
Posted on 12:29pm Thursday 7th June 2007
With increasing frequency we are being urged to re-connect with the source of our food, and gain a better understanding of how it is produced. Experts from different areas are agreed it will bring many benefits, such as: helping to tackle obesity ; linking farmers directly to their customers; and encouraging more environmental awareness.

Busy Times
Posted on 9:16am Thursday 31st May 2007
There are changes happening in my life, things that I will share with you when I next blog. They are big changes requiring a lot of attention to detail. That's all I will say for the moment, or perhaps I should say 'watch this space'.

Life Without Oil
Posted on 12:30pm Tuesday 15th May 2007
Close your eyes and imagine life without oil. Impossible? Well, according to permaculture guru Rob Hopkins we are on the threshold of ‘peak oil’- the point at which the maximum amount of oil that can be extracted globally is reached.

Change The Programme
Posted on 12:23pm Tuesday 15th May 2007
Sally Lawrence’s letter on the letters page two weeks ago, about being automatically given plastic bags even when she didn’t want them, got me thinking about habits. Habits are things we do when we’re not consciously thinking. They are like the default setting on a computer, the setting which it automatically returns to when it’s not given any other instruction.

Back to reality. . .
Posted on 5:24pm Monday 14th May 2007
We’ve been away for awhile. We spent three weeks in Florida visiting family. I stocked up on my grandbaby hugs hoping to store them up until the next time we can go and visit. While you were having lovely weather here in Hereford, we were having a few nice walks on the beach and enjoying a lazy afternoon or two by the pool. Sadly holidays don’t last nearly long enough and it was soon time to come back home.

My Walk to Work
Posted on 3:29pm Monday 30th April 2007
On Monday I decided to walk to work. My work-place, the Bulmer Foundation, is based in the heart of Bulmer’s cider plant in Hereford – my home is in Allensmore. It took an hour and a quarter – not exactly a hike but certainly more than a stroll.

Do you like hospital food
Posted on 4:17pm Friday 20th April 2007
The NHS spends 500 million a year on food and catering services. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said “let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food” so you would imagine that food in hospital would be an important part of the overall healthcare provision. I’m afraid that, in most cases, it’s not.

Travelling!!
Posted on 4:30pm Tuesday 10th April 2007
Hello out there!! Is anyone still blogging? I was away for a week and came back to see no new blogs posted and since I talk too much anyway, I thought I’d put my 2 cents in or rather 2 pence.
