The Sabbatical, By James R.A. Herriot. Part 5: Epilogue. If you were able to travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? During the second Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, James Herriot decided to collate various of the journeys he and his wife (Debbie) have made during their life together as a journal for the grandchildren. Reminiscing about their favourite places, James also includes suggestions for good books, his favourite music, as well as fine wines consumed with family and friends in the various locations.Travel with him from his beautiful home town of Berwick-upon-Tweed to Australia, New Zealand, America, Italy, France, Spain, Croatia, Turkey, and others, plus some closer to home – all 52 having their own story to tell. Sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, his observations are always thought-provoking. The Sabbatical will help you to reminisce about places you have visited – or possibly encourage you to visit them for yourself."The Sabbatical: A Year of Travel During the Pandemic" is Copyright ©2023 James R.A.

Perhaps the relentless, repetitive melody and rhythms of the hands remind me of a frantic mind and the need to stop and observe when we are quickening our breath, when it is shallow and tight, to then let go and remember to breathe deeply and with ease - Breathe like a tortoise and live for 400 years, maybe

Red Balance - The Lights Are On

Red Balance - The Lights Are OnThere is a moment in everyone’s life where it is time to stand up even if you feel that you are not ready for it. Can you imagine Michael Corleone refusing to lead the “family” after his brother ´s assassination? The song is a rock story about those scary moments where you feel that you are in the middle of a stage, in front of a crowded and unforgiving audience; there is nowhere to hide, The Lights Are On!!
