Over the past few days I have slowly and carefully moved our winter's supply of wood from one shelter to another. The roof of the first shelter is in dire need of repair and could crash down on my head at any time. That is not conducive to mindfulness. My exploits were witnessed at times … Continue reading Mindful Wood Stacking in Avren

The Avren Weekly Lottery
Let me introduce you to our weekly village lottery. To enter, every Tuesday evening I drag my entry ticket (Number 5) to the end of the lane and place it carefully by the side of the road.

The Things We Do For Love…of Running
Today's run was not particularly enjoyable in itself, but it was helpful in my quest to at least maintain a habit and a reasonable base level of running fitness.

Well, it wasn't that dramatic, it's just that … Continue reading The Things We Do For Love…of Running
