This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.
People have made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when they plant shade trees under which they know full well they will never sit.
pssst...we actually don't sit under our trees... we lay on our backs and wonder at the sunbeams as they chase each other in and out of the swaying fronds
Incidentally, I got a new mop this weekend and it surprised me. I felt like we were Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers ...except that I am female and don't dance anywhere near his genius and Miss Mop was a platinum blonde with a twig of a body... yeh, so anyway, point being sometimes taking the plunge with a new mop is quite refreshing actually... Glad that you took the plunge and went to 'Jolly Ole'?

Aaargh, not with the Mopping Metaphors again, I'm going to RESIST! My English mop lacks character...
Green Girl, people who plant trees are wise!
Tell your mum the two cedars at school are going great! :-)
