..... the madness of the Red Hearts has passed, the style promoted by the media I mean, ......
I believe in giving my heart away as I give wee/little red hearts away to BHP's all year through rather than just selling Valentine Cards ..... ...... and
pic 2 .... the Valentine flowers I bought for Joan on Monday so they would have a good two weeks of life before she has to go away again.
pic 3 ...... Snow at Wilson Mansions ...... the most for years and it was tough getting to work but ....... it has all gone and we have sunshine on a shivery day at the moment.
pic 4 ....... today is the first Saturday I have had as a free man and here I am taking deep breaths ...... but the photo is of Ian who I met in the New Piccadilly last Saturday to create new ideas-tools-books-games ....... so stimulating EVERY time we meet up.
pic 5 & 6 is of PB.
Patrick and I used to work together in East London, see below, and I have not seen him for at least 12 years - seems to me.
He left us in East London some 26 years ago(guess) to train as a Youth Worker(fact) and after a stint in the field conducting hands-on Informal Education - then he went to Paraguay, with Rosie his wife, to give himself to meeting the massive needs there .........
..... 12 years later, and three children, there is a move for them back to the UK and including a wondrous Level Five with me in the New Piccadilly .......... how do you catch up on a quarter of a century of lives lived?
He is a great man and anyone who is looking for a Youth Worker with great skill and experience ...... and more ......
One quote from him stood out.
Something like this::
"The shock of culture shift from UK to South America
was nothing compared with the shift from middle England
to live and work in Inner City working class London".
PB you are beautiful .....
