Visitors to our blog site will have noticed the recent change in our blog header and I'd like to explain why we have done this. The pictures and quote at the start of our blog reflect our feelings towards this planet, the people, and the animals and plants and our shared existence.

The photos on the left and right are just two of the extraordinarily beautiful places that Frances and I have seen our our travels. The middle photo of the factory represents what we are doing to our earth. As a society we have led ourselves to believe that we can manage the world, that we can have everything we want and that everything we want is either within and that the world is ours for the taking. That we are the masters. What is becoming increasingly more apparent year by year is that these worlds are mutually exclusive. We are allowing ourselves to be led to a future that will never exist and we are running out of time to wake up and realize this. Somewhere along the way we have lost our direction and our path is now leading us down a dead end street. Our first priority must be to look after our planet Earth because without it there is nothing.
