People talk about getting back to normal, when they should be looking at adapting to the new.
Sometimes things will never be the same as they were.
Learn to adapt; new may be good.

Nothing lasts forever, take comfort in that.
However low you are feeling, things will get better.
Remember the frost and penetrating cold of the winter?
That passed, and so will this.

We all have things we prefer to keep from others.
Secrets are part of life and there is nothing wrong with that.
Do not feel compelled to share everything, just because you feel you have to.

None of us know where our journey will take us.
Read the signs, follow the guidance.
All will be well; an adventure lies ahead!

We spend our lives looking down.
Our heads are glued to our phones, looking down at the pavement to avoid eye contact.
We are missing out on so much.
Look up! There’s a whole other world to experience there.

In a world as fraught with complexities as this one is, why would you be anything else?

We only ever hear one side of a story, and often take that as the truth.
Take a step back, see the other perspective, focus on balance and the bigger picture.
The truth may not be all it seems.

We are made up from our ancestors.
Their decisions, their choices, their loves, their losses, all these things made them who they were, and so make us who we are.
What will you leave behind you?
What will be your legacy?

In a world where risk is part of our everyday lives, do you want to take that risk?

P is for Pilton.
The true home of the Glastonbury Festival, Pilton was something of a hidden gem I am glad I discovered.

Q is for Queen Camel.
Who’d have thought there was a Q but no J in the list. Well, had it not been given as a gift, there wouldn’t have been a Q either!

R is for Rodney Stoke.
Not another Somersetonian (Somersetter?), but this is one of eight villages in the county with something to be thankful for.

S is for Stanton Drew.
Another hidden gem, but not just the village. The Neolithic circle here rivals Avebury and Stonehenge.

T is for Tintinhull.
A manorial vicarage and stunning gardens, but no sign of Snowy the dog…
Twenty letters down, then, and five still to go. When life finds a sense of normality, the A to Z will continue, so watch this space.
Commemorating the fallen of the First World War who are buried in the United Kingdom.
