North Fife Oracle

The Oracle's Secret.
We are all formed by our view point. There many ways of training the mind and this book gives insight as how that can be achieved. My own perspective is from Buddhism which teaches the true nature of mind, it is not a belief system but an experiential process that gives rise to understanding.
Taste it and see, it's the only way.
Written for all ages, this simple parable delivers a profound message that can last a lifetime.
It is the story of a boy, a horse, and a dream.
For as long as he can remember, Taran Eldridge has dreamed of owning a pure white stallion from the Alder Stables.
He gets a chance to make his dream a reality when the village Elders announce a race to celebrate the Summer Solstice.
In preparation for the race, Taran seeks the advice of the fabled Oracle who agrees to guide him on his journey. The Oracle's Secret
.
This inspiring story will show you how to:

* Identify your heart's desires
* Create a powerful plan of action
* Overcome procrastination
* Eliminate the fear of failure

Discover the Oracle's Secret for yourself, and learn how to create the life of your dreams.

350 Letham North Fife

350 Letham North Fife.




There is no better teacher than experience and for all who took part in the preparation of the lanterns, 350 will be impinged. We are all required to be more mindful in our actions and consumption of oil, coal and energy wasting activity. A grass roots reaction to the way our conditioned existence is taking us has spawned collectives that advocate another view. Another way which is local, community based, self sufficient in foods, energy saving and mindfulness of our environment. Transition towns are a manifestation of this process.
In a small village outside Cupar in Fife, Scotland about 40 people, spanning several generations, gathered in Letham village hall on Saturday evening. After an opening speech and song we made candle lanterns and then processed together from the hall to the park in the cold, misty evening, with the lanterns bobbing in the dark from their willow sticks.

The shape of 350 had been sprinkled in flour on the grass before nightfall and we placed our lanterns on the lines and stood in silence around this critical number, thinking of those in Copenhagen grappling with how to heal this world.

The song: Be the Change

What will be left
When our children are grown?
Look what has come
From the seeds we have sown.

Pollution,
Resource depletion.

Wake up to our true selves,
Wake up to be the change,
Wake up to shine our light,
Find what can nourish and sustain.

Connect round the world,
We can learn how to share.
We’ve taken so much,
Now it’s time for to care.

Transformation
Of our generation.

Wake up to our true selves,
Wake up to be the change,
Wake up to shine our light,
Find what can nourish and sustain.

Wake up!

Three generations light the candle.



About to parade and mark the moment.

The Light.

This afternoon, standing at Blackearnside, Newburgh North Fife a view I see every day yet always different. The water was calm, cool reflecting the cold winter sky.

North Fife Walsall Photographs

Walsall pub, The Exchange, to the rear of my studio in Goodall Street.
View Larger Map . Upper Rushall Street, Walsall, not far off spit and sawdust yet an extraordinary public house, interesting characters, good beer, good fun. A life I left behind for North Fife.

A heated moment in a game of cards.

In and around Walsall pockets off derelict land were occupied by travellers, here with horse drawn vans as heritage whilst living in clean well appointed motor vans.

Atheist's Guide to Christmas North Fife

The Atheist's Guide to Christmas. It's not a bad thing to have another opinion. 42 atheist celebrities, comedians, scientists and writers give their funny and serious tips for enjoying the Christmas season. Last year, Guardian journalist Ariane Sherine launched the Atheist Bus Campaign and ended up raising over GBP150,000, enough to place the advert 'There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life' on 800 UK buses in January 2009. Now Ariane and dozens of other atheist writers, comedians and scientists are joining together to raise money for a very different cause. The Atheist's Guide to Christmas is a funny, thoughtful handbook all about enjoying Christmas, from 42 of the world's most entertaining atheists. It features everything from an atheist Christmas miracle to a guide to the best Christmas pop hits, and contributors include Richard Dawkins, Charlie Brooker, Derren Brown, Ben Goldacre, Jenny Colgan, David Baddiel, Simon Singh, AC Grayling, Brian Cox and Richard Herring. The full book advance and all royalties will go to the UK HIV charity Terrence Higgins Trust.The Atheist's Guide to Christmas

Angle Park North Fife

Rail Bridge over water. On my way home from Glenrothes last night I took the Newburgh road off the A92 via Charlottetown where I turned right to rejoin the A92 near Melville Lodge roundabout. A mistake, at Angle Park I was confronted by the deep flood waters, I retreated. The Howe of Fife is an ancient flood plain and if we get a continuation of Novembers 190% rainfall will become so again.

Where's Wally North Fife

Where's Wally. The incredible paper chase.
The "Where's Wally" series of books have been a great favourite for two broods of my children, the visual inspection required hones the minds observation powers and really is a tremendous exercise in visual perception.
It is the seventh classic title in the internationally famous Where's Wally? series.
The search for Wally and his friends continues through more astounding scenes in this new classic title in the Where's Wally? series. As Wally travels through worlds of dinosaurs, soldiers, clowns and so much more he leaves a tiny piece of paper to look for in every scene. Featuring a fold-out Muddy Swampy Jungle Game - with press out counters and tongue-twister forfeit cards - and a press-out circus for Wally fans to put on their very own show. This is the most interactive Where's Wally? title ever.
