A Busy Holiday

Putting Things into Perspective

Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in our lives, but a simple event can soon help us realise how lucky we are.


I’m just coming to the end of another week off work and as usual I’ve probably been busier this week than I usually am. It’s been a week of seeing family, straightening my garden out and spending most of my time writing articles.

I say I’ve been straighten my garden out, but I really mean making a mess. Why do we have to make a mess before we make things tidier again? I’m now stuck with a garden of mud until some turf is put down again and my dog loves digging in the earth and getting muddy.

And why is it you can never get hold of workmen when you need to? It’s either them not turning up to give a quote or not turning up to do the work. Sometimes I think it would be quicker for me to do it all myself.

But at least I’m safe and my family’s safe; there are some things I take for granted and our safety is one of them. Read this week’s article and see how you would feel if you had death threats made against you because of your beliefs. It would certainly put my muddy back garden and missing workmen into perspective.
