Pink sky in the morning

Posted on Posted in Memories, UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

View through my bedroom window this morning. We had a couple of rumbles of thunder last night which resulted in my damp cat jumping on the arm of the chair for a bit of reassurance.

Today’s forecast is for light rain and a light breeze, but more widely our area has an amber warning issued for thunder showers with a risk of flooding and disruption to travel.

However this is so incredibly minimal compared with the terrible mud slides and flooding in Nepal. So far 160 people have died and 1400 people are reported missing.  Yet another climate disaster.

We must stop ignoring the damage we have, and are causing to our precious planet.

Zoom talk on Nepal

Posted on Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

We just attended a Zoom talk on Nepal. Our friend went walking there in 2006 to raise funds for eye surgery for the residents of Nepal. The talk included beautiful photos of the mountains including the Anapurna range. They were close to the eighth highest mountain in the world. The scale of the mountains is incredible. The villages in the valleys are tiny in comparison.

Through wonderful photography of the landscape and the Nepalese people my friend gave us such an informative talk about the country. He also included the music of the people with sweet, calm songs. A very pleasant couple of hours with many friends attending.
