I hope when I die I am mourned more by the poor than by the rich.
I hope my coffin is carried by friends and not by soldiers.
I hope the clocks keep chiming for the world only spins forwards.

I hope that an Easter mass is celebrated not state-sanctioned pomp and pride.

The rain seems to have coincided with an upsurge in the number of native American musicians in the city centre, although I think last year some of them were playing ‘The Flight of the Condor’ and claiming to be from Peru.
You’ve seen nothing like the weather in the Isle of Man in the last 48 hours. Storm force and severe storm force gales and torrential rain have forced ferries to be cancelled, and there is more severe weather forecast for tonight. It prevented us from visiting the adjacent island (England) today.
Between the Mountain and the Moon by Luka Bloom – jazzy folk sounds coming from the Celtic mist. Track 4 very gooey.Fire, Sleet and Candlelight by Coope Boyes and Simpson and others. Miserere – Allegri – kindly bought by someone who looked at my wish list

Walking across the campus of the University of Stirling before 9 o'clock in the morning in Freshers' Week is an opportunity for quiet reflection. You can almost hear the grass grow and can certainly hear it being eaten by the rabbits.There is a sense that everyone has been unable to face the day due for…
