Magical Moments


One of my most memorable ‘magical moments’ of 2007 happened last springtime.

From November to May each year I rent a converted stable block in a very small village on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment. The village comprises of 1 ancient Saxon church (St Faith’s), a couple of cottages a herb garden and my stable block. I am also surrounded by countryside and right next to an ancient footpath leading down into the valley to the ruins of an ancient monastery that was once a significant site of medieval pilgrimage. I love living here each year and use this time to reflect and re-energise myself.

I remember when my kids were born and I’ll be honest, they looked to me like over-baked potatoes. In fact, all newborns look like potatoes the only people who don’t see it are those photographers who stalk the maternity wards trying to make a financial killing selling over-priced pictures of little over-baked potatoes and the little over-baked potatoes sleep-deprived, drugged-up mummies. It’s true!!
