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.

My friend recently slapped me on the wrist for saying that I only want to date gorgeous women. Apparently someone like me should be less fickle and know that real beauty was on the inside. I’ve been hearing this all my life from women who don’t think they are gorgeous and I don’t buy it.

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!!
