It is said that moving house is one of the most stressful times in life - I concur ! It isn't so much the physical 'moving' of possessions as such that is stressful, it is more to do with the endless form-filling that change of address entails. There must be a seem-free way to change address these days ... but where it can be found, that is the question ? .

It's often said that 'Rome wasn't built in a day', and it probably wasn't, neither was Buxton - but it seems like the town has been 'under construction' for ever !There's the Swimming Pool (top photo above) which has had more "Re-opening Dates" than I can remember, the latest date given is June 1st (though which year could be open to debate).Then there's the Railway Station (botton photo, above)

The phrase "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" never made much sense until this morning. As I was walking home I had not one large labrador bounding towards me, but then another came not far behind. I recognised these unleashed dogs as one of them had already left it's muddy paw marks all over the front of me once before - it left such a mess on me that I had to go home and get changed !Anyway, once bitten

Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me.Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me.There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury.There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry.Oh, I have a flame; feel it touch my heart.And down at my core is the hottest part.I can burn without fuel.If it should become too cold

"Happy New Year", to one and all, I hope 2011 is all that everyone wishes it to be ~ I think we are all due a decent year with no catastrophies taking place, nothing untoward out of place, just a year of living as life should be would do for me.All the Best, no matter what 2011 may bring...

Two photos I took whilst out Nordic Walking this evening ~ the top one is a UGO {Unidentified Grounded Object} and below is the Moon, tomorrow there will be a Lunar Eclipse that should be visible with the naked eye.

Some photos taken whilst out walking this Sunday morning. The one of the Samudra Buddhist Centre was taken as it is probably the smartest 'shop-front' in Higher Buxton.Unfortunately, the Craft Supplies 'white van person' needs to think about pedestrians when leaving the vehicle obstructing the pavement - not only making able-bodied people walk into the road to get past it, but denying a safe

Visited Chapel-en-le-Frith last night. Travelled down on the 199 Airport Bus and had a walk around the Capital of the High Peak before catching the train back to Buxton. The photo is one I took from the train, by all signs today (Friday) is going to be a very reasonable day indeed after the tumultuous few days of monsoon like weather conditions.

Tuesday sure is a titillating kinda day... spontaneous yet conforming to the 'norm' in many ways.The Fair gives way to the Market Stalls, the rain persists, the Swan and Goose continue to get it on and there are Antique Cars aplenty in the Pavilion Gardens.Yep ... there is a double-dip recession in progress and nobody's fool is alive,well and kicking in a river near you ... .

Tomorrow sees a flying visit (pardon the pun, I won't mention Iceland - oops too late !) to London to hopefully achieve two things. One - to take part in some filming, and Two - to take part in an Event concerning Working Age Poverty, which is pretty topical in the current political campaigning mixed with the backdrop of global recession..

I never thought I would see what I saw this morning. I left Buxton on the early morning train, it was raining as the train pulled out of the Station but as we got further along the line towards Dove Holes ... it was snow, and was white over !Usually it is the other way round :-).

I really despair at the wisdom of carrying out Site Maintenance on a Social Website at the weekend, Facebook has been down for hours today - although there is an apology when attempting to sign in, there could have been some advance warning at the very least ... don't you think ?

The more one does something, one would think the reliability of that 'something' would be reasonably good ~ not so with train travel this year. Last night's "escapade" was quite different from the more recent hold-ups, in that the train broke down just outside Manchester and there appeared to be some electrical fault with the doors .... unfortunately there wasn't very much communication between

Dear allAt the meeting on Monday 15th March at the Old Hall Hotel in Buxton, we heard a talk from Anne Walker about her long-standing and considerable involvement in the work of Amnesty International (AI). Anne is also a long-standing member of the British Humanist Association and Greater Manchester Humanists. Anne gave us a very interesting and detailed talk. She started by asking us what we

Visited the Dentist on Monday, the Dentist told me I had a 'dead' tooth and that he could save it but that I needed a long 40 minute appointment and in the meantime I could have a course of antibiotics to "calm things down".Well, the "calm" never came and the pain got worse, so ahead of next Monday's appointment, I got in to see the Dentist this morning. He gave me two alternatives, either get
