Why I’ve adopted a craftivist for 2017

A couple weeks ago I saw this on Instagram My immediate reaction was wow, that’s brave, followed by there’s no way I can afford that, hope others can. I went about my day/life but Sarah’s request stuck with me. I spent quite some time musing it since. There are loads of reasons why £10 a month … More Why I’ve adopted a craftivist for 2017

Why I walk #CaminoLB

When applying for your Camino Credencial (a sort of passport/document to prove your legitimate pilgrim status) you’re asked to tick a box.

Kate Granger – rest in peace #deathbedlive #hellomynameis

This morning Chris shared that Kate died yesterday, surrounded by her loved ones. I’ve no more words than I offered in my last post, the comments and tweets discussing it clearly showed that Kate’s ripples spread far and wide. They will continue to do so.

The Human Rights Act is under threat, now I know very little about the law, but in my experience you don’t tend to know about the law until you need it’s protection. The Act for the Act campaign was established … More Act for the Act – it takes less than a minute! #ActfortheAct
