Enjoyed a really great day at the Hive in Worcester where there were many exhibitors including myself, showing spacey things, talking space and loving every minute of it! People loved my activity of putting a sticky dot where they thought the solar system is in the Milky Way. That was on Saturday, today, Tuesday there …

    Still reeling from the news of the passing of surely the greatest monarch in our history, it is timely to look to the future, to a future where peace is essential for the wellbeing of our planet, a future where space science may reveal more about Earth than we can ever dream of.     …
…blogging again!
Holed up indoors, riding out the extreme heat, seems a good time to continue with my blog. I have too many diaries and notebooks on the go as I have been keeping a diary although not updating this blog. There has been much in the news about women and work recently. I was a full …

Cake of various sorts featured a lot this week! At each final session at work there were mince pies…although, interestingly, these were left in favour of biscuits (homemade) or chocolate log and mincemeat muffins.

Monday Motivation was achieved by marching along with the Clangers to some wonderful Clangery marching music. I’ll try anything to keep moving and motivated when it’s too chilly for my evening walk. An exercise video from the Clangers would be fantastic! Upon stalling at traffic lights one morning, I was reminded of the benefits …
