http://dispatches.awardspace.com/blog Thu, 22 May 2008 11:39:30 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I discovered last night that a very dear friends mum passed away last week. I don't want to say too much about it, because it is a personal matter, but I would just like to say that she had been a presence in my life for what must have been ... http://dispatches.awardspace.com/blog/?p=132 I know I am a few days behind the times but I was struggling to find a suitable thing to say, and as is often the way the best thing to do is to let someone else speak for you. The song is called 'Overcome' by a band called Live ... http://dispatches.awardspace.com/blog/?p=129 No longer is the simple walking stick the preserve of the elderly and infirm. A renaissance is taking place and once more the humble walking stick takes on the mantle of fashion accessory and must have item. So maybe now the time is right to reiterate the basics of taking ... http://dispatches.awardspace.com/blog/?p=125 I consider myself very lucky. I live in a city that is surrounded on all sides by hills and moor land and some of the best rambling to be had in the country. And so, regardless of weather, most weekends will find me packing up the family and the dog ... http://dispatches.awardspace.com/blog/?p=124 While stickmaking has quickly become a passionate vocation, I've felt something missing for a while.

Living on the upslope of a hill we missed the worst of it and until we caught the news late in the day was actually quite ... http://dispatches.awardspace.com/blog/?p=117  And so just like that we shall have a new PM, a new defender of the faith, a new El Presidente. I know that an unopposed coronation gives some people pause for thought but truth be told it isn't the first time and is a natural occurence under the terms ... http://dispatches.awardspace.com/blog/?p=115 So another season is well underway and I have renewed my membership to Red Sox Nation. I also got in on the MLB.TV act a lot earlier this year and paid a preseason subscription. Thus far I'm catching more games than I'm missing and it's been pretty good going so ... http://dispatches.awardspace.com/blog/?p=113 It appears that regardless of the weather I am to be cursed with a streaming nose, sticky ears and sore eyes. Bloody summer. I had always assumed that hayfever sufferers only suffered on lovely sunny days but it has been pissing it down for two straight days and yet I ... http://dispatches.awardspace.com/blog/?p=112 Okay so the last blog died a death, but I've find a little spare time again so with a new look and a new ethos we shall begin again. Enjoy. http://dispatches.awardspace.com/blog/?p=3
