Dinka, Martin, Mandy, Pauline, Martin, Rupert and Rachel, made the rendezvous on the South Quay, at the Southern Docks, outside the Nelson Museum, Great Yarmouth for an understated, hardly planned reconnaissance walk. I'd discovered the walk last year, alone with the dogs, and rocked up at the Hipperdrome seen the show and said, blast, gotta… Continue reading Great Yarmouth walking

Trump news at 2am
I'm up at 2am for some reason. As I write up the adventurous day to commemorate Heligoland and an unusual gathering of Kelletts that is not a funeral, I catch up on breaking news, which being international, is thankfully not the politicing of Brexit, but rather the 'larger than life', rainbow colourful, and sad at… Continue reading Trump news at 2am
Trump on Climate change

Deiter and the girls for were all women, all… Continue reading Socratic Dialogue Training London – Reflections
East Coast line walk no 1- OultonBroad to Beccles along Angels way.
Mischa laughed when I told her. "So this is your way of relaxing and changing your life so its not so busy?" Somehow I just so needed to walk, and alone with dogs. A 10 mile flat walk on a stunning September day, what could be more perfect? Two things - a delicious picnic (polytunnel… Continue reading East Coast line walk no 1- OultonBroad to Beccles along Angels way.
