'BE THE CHANGE THAT'S NEEDED, OR ELSE NOTHING CHANGES/CREATE BEAUTIFUL TINY TERRACES ON A BUDGET'
"Only" Having a Bare, Concrete Slabbed, NARROW, Paved Area, Needn't Be A Hindrance To Creating A Beautiful Space To Enjoy.
This Is The Story Of Someone Who As A Result Of Suffering Poor Health, And Restricted Mobility. Was Unable To Manage A Persistent Problem That Was Damaging Their Immediate Environment, And Affecting Their Ability To Enjoy Their Home, Or Even Invite Or Accept Visitors. And Although Their Neighbours Witnessed The Problem, Which Also Affected Them Obliquely. The Culture Was One Of Complete Inertia "Someone Else Can Deal With It."
Listen And Hear What The Challenge Was, And Not Only How It Was Resolved. But Also How The Transformation Inspired A Change Of Perception In The Minds Of Others Residing Within The Same Environment. Who Felt Ill Equipped, Or Unable To Undertake The Task At Hand.
Often In Life, It Takes One Regular Person To Give A Damn Enough To Take Action. One Small Step At A Time, They Create A Landscape That Many Consider Impossible, Or Even Mock At Their Attempts. However, As The Change Occurs, The Observers Then Realise The Potential They Have To Create Change Also. And Finally They Begin….
Just When You Thought This Video Was Just Going To Be About Gardening!

'THOSE NORTHERN LIGHTS LIED' OR 'DOES THIS NEEDLE YOU?'
'THOSE NORTHERN LIGHTS LIED' OR 'DOES THIS NEEDLE YOU?'
The Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis is the latest instalment of many celestial dramas. Only these weren't real. I'm certain of this.
It's tempting to become beguiled at this moment in time, by strobe displays in the night sky, when so much seems uncertain, and life has taken an interesting turn onto a road to god knows where.
It's puzzling…..trying to make sense of how we could fall so fast… again! Is this not yet another trap? And if it is, then what does this mean about us collectively?
This morning after expressing my dismay about the recent light display that was witnessed across the UK and most of Europe, I was asked the question "If you don't believe anything anymore, what do you believe in? And how do you experience joy?" It was a challenging question to find an answer to. But I found a parallel example in answer to that question, that makes sense to most everyone.
If you've come this far, Thank You for joining us🙏🏿

'I HAD NO CHOICE' & 'RENDEZVOUS TO LEIGHTON HOUSE - IN HOLLAND PARK, LONDON W14'
'I HAD NO CHOICE'
*It's 1992
*It's 10:30PM After Night School
*You're On A Train-Platform
*A Man From Your Course Calls Out Your Name For Help!
*He Is Being Harassed By A Group Of Men
*You Are Several Meters Down The Platform From Him
*You Are A Woman Alone
*Mobile Phones Are Not Ubiquitous, You Can't Phone For Support
*The Only Route To The Station Office Is To Pass The Group Of Men!
*And......The Station Office Staff Have Clocked Off For The Night
*What Do You Do?
One Of Us Recounts This Chilling Moment. And What She Did.
*Would You Have Done The Same?
'RENDEZVOUS TO LEIGHTON HOUSE - HOLLAND PARK, LONDON W14'
Victorian Painter Frederick Leighton (b.1830-1896), Famous For His Painting Of 'FLAMING JUNE.' Commissioned Architect George Aitchison To Construct A Studio Home. It Was Completed Between 1866-1895.
Throughout His Childhood, Leighton Travelled Extensively With His Family, And Lived In Germany. Later He Developed A Passion For Moor Architecture Found In The Countries He Visited And Resided In - Morocco, Lebanon, Egypt, Algeria, Turkey, Syria, Spain, Italy And Greece.
Though Leighton Enjoyed Throwing Social Gatherings And Kept A Coterie Of Artist Friends, Some Of Whom Were Pre-Raphaelite Painters Who Lived Close By. He Was Largely A Private Person, And Speculation Thrived About His Orientation. None Of His Personal Journals Indicated Or Mentioned Anyone Romantically Significant To Him Either. Rumours Abound That He And Dorothy Dene, His Favourite Model Who Sat For Flaming June, Were Lovers. A Beautiful Painting He Created Of Her Hangs On His Bedroom Wall, As Do Other Portraits Of People Close To Him. His Single Bed In His Sparsely Decorated Bedroom Doesn't Indicate Anything More Than A Place For Slumber......And Nothing More. His Easel Filled Studio, And The Arab Hall, Are Redolent Of His Emotions, Focus And Meditation.
Like Many Historical Figures Of Note, Their Family Backgrounds, Activities, Patterns And Alliances, Offer A Great Deal Of Information That Is Useful To Understand Their Positioning, The Sequence Of Events In Which They Lived, That Surrounded Them, And That Followed After Their Lifetime. None Of Them Were Just Born And Became Handy With A Brush, Or Whatever Tool They Employed To Form Expression. And Then They Just.....Expired. So, Further Reading Is Recommended To Gradually Unravel Their Hidden Mysteries. Some Are Easily Perceived, Whilst Others Are Cloaked. But Once Fully Revealed, They Offer A Tapestry That Weaves Further Into....
This Is One Of A Number Of Rendezvous To Leighton House That We Hope You Enjoy.
🙏🏿

'WE ARE NOT FREE - IF WE CAN'T GROW IT, MAKE IT, OR FIX IT' & 'UPHOLSTERING FOR THE FIRST TIME!'
Making Money Is Simply That. Contrary To Societal Belief, Money Is Not Equal To Freedom. There Has Been A Psychological Earthquake During The Last Four Years, As Many Scramble To Protect Their Money And Assets. Many Have Criss Crossed The Earth As They Attempt To Transfer And Secure Those Assets......In Other Investments. Not A Cent Must Be Lost Or ELSE! Is This Freedom?
This Question Is The Road Less Travelled. Because It's Disquieting, Chilling Even. The Face In The Mirror Affirms The Cliche Of Having Devoted Your Life To Something That In The Final Analysis.....Means Nothing. Your Assets Don't Have A HEART BEAT. And If You Lose Them All.......
The Prevailing Overt And Covert Culture, Is And Has Been, That To Pay For And Acquire As Much As Possible, Demonstrates Conscientiousness And Self Respect. That To Create, Grow, Repair Or Produce Anything You Want Or Need, Is The Art Of Serfdom.
Although Gold, Silver And More Are Handsome And Durable, Their Value Is Dependent On External Factors That Are Beyond Our Control.
*What Then Do We Have That Is Ever Enduring, That We Can Depend On, And That Will Be An Inheritance Worth Having. An Inheritance That Is Full Proof?
The Answer May Seem Too Simple To Be True. However, It Is The Reason Why Many Of Us Are Here. Yet We Are Woefully Lacking In Recognising It, Or Practicing It. Without First Losing Everything We Consider To Be An "Asset" Or "Valuable."

'THE UNVACCINATED DATING APPS' & 'POWDER ROOM REVAMP'
THE UNVACCINATED DATING APPS - A LOVE THAT DARES SPEAK IT'S NAME'
*What Was Permitted Was A Prolonged Spray Of Vitriol Towards The Un-Vaccinated From Families, Wider Communities, Politicians, Scientists And Numerous Public Figures.....And From Across The World.
*For Some, The Rocks They Threw Turned And Injured Them. That Was The Tragic Result Of Doing What Was Expedient. And Not What Was Right.
Some Looked Like Us, And Endorsed What They Cunningly Evaded. Never Truer Was The Adage "Just Coz Someone's Your Skin Folk, Don't Make 'Em Your Kin Folk."
*Sometimes The Passing Of Time Is Only That. It Hasn't Faded The Awareness Acquired Then, That "We" Are Lone Rangers, United In The Advancing Unknown. And In The Vigour Of The Forbidden, We Silently, Like Interacting Atoms, Perceived One Another. And Now With Tongues Untied, We Proclaim:
*Dating Apps For The Unvaccinated
*Blood Banks From The Unvaccinated For The Unvaccinated
*Organ Donor Banks/Clinics From The Unvaccinated For The Unvaccinated
*Schooling/Education For Unvaccinated Children And Families
*Vacations Organised/Facilitated By The Unvaccinated For The Unvaccinated
*Health/Science/Medical Care From The Unvaccinated For The Unvaccinated
*The List Of Considerations Continues To Grow
*The Marginalisation Of The Unvaccinated That Was Created In 2020, Produced A Definite Shift, Whether The "Elected Vaccinated" Are Aware Of It Or Not. And There Will Not Be A Return. Particularly As The World Moves Forward And Onwards Into An Unknown Future.

'LEAVE THE CITY TO SAVE OUR SOULS'
Our Opinions Have Changed And So Has Our Outlook. We Have Changed.
One Of Us Had Changed Long Ago, Long Before The Lockdown Events Four Years Ago. The Other Is Slowly Falling Out Of Interest And Love For The City. What's More, The City Has Been Indicating That Others Have Not Only Changed.....But Moved Out....For Good!
Cities Have A Rhythm, Each One Contains Its Unique Chorus Line Or Anthem. But The Pulse Here Is Inaudible. We Are In Motion But The Spirit Is Barely Perceptible. The Walls Have Been Closing In For Years, But Commitments Have Decided The Terms Of When, Or If We Can Depart.
Our Souls Daily Chime "It Is Time To Go."

'ALIENS MEANS THERE'S SOMETHING BENEATH THE EARTH'
*Aliens Definitely Exist. There's Proof!
*Or, Is It Possible That Decades Of Secrecy And Documents Containing Extraordinary Events, Were Created. Which Fuelled A World Wide Fascination With Aliens. And Directed Focus Away From Self Realisation, Spiritual Practice, And Knowledge About The Earth, Our Heritage, And Other Dimensions?
*One Of Us Firmly Believes And Is Still Fascinated By The Existence Of Aliens. Whilst The Other No Longer Believes, And Is Dismissive, Even Scathing. Watch And Listen To Find Out Why.

'WE SURVIVED TWO ATTACKS LATE AT NIGHT, AND WHAT WE LEARNED'
This Was A Difficult Episode To Create. Recounting Life Threatening Incidents Was Not Free Of Complexed Thoughts And Emotions, That Prior To Discussing Them We Naively Felt Liberated From. After All, One Of These Incidents Took Place Several Years Ago, And The Other Decades Ago! Details Of Joy And Fear Are Contained In The Fine Crevices Of Our Minds And Bodies. Adversities Can Weave In And Out Of Our Lives Without Activating Any Feelings Relating To Those Events. Yet A Gentle Trip Down Memory Lane Leads Us To These Moments In Our History, And Unlocks A Tide Of Them.
*Have You Experienced A Threatening Event/Situation That Altered Your Understanding Of What You Previously Thought To Be Absolute?
*Have You Become Resolute In Your Opinion? Or Did The Experience Alert You To A Position You Were Immune To Prior To The Event Or Situation?

'THE APPLE THAT EVE ATE AND THE SERPENT' & 'POMEGRANATE SORBET'
On Another Unexpected, Warm Morning Last Summer. In Stifling Humidity And Lethargic From Lack Of Sleep, We Began A Treacherous Enquiry About A Vow, Specifically "To Love, Honour And OBEY." This Opened A Can Of Worms Neither Of Us Saw Coming About Ourselves. And That Is.....Was The Bible's Depiction Of Eve Biting The Apple Based On A Truth That Many Of Us/Women Find Disquieting? Or Is The Portrayal Of Eve Completely Unfounded?
*POMEGRANATE SORBET
Making This Healthy Sugar Free, 2 Ingredients Pomegranate Sorbet, With Organic Ginger Biscuits And Sprigs Of Mint To Garnish, Is Easy, Cooling And Tastes Delicious. We Relished Every Spoonful. We Hope You Try It And Enjoy!
