I am at the airport again.
Ron & I are flying to Tel Aviv to work in Bethlehem for the next week. We are really looking forward to this trip to catch up with old friends and see how recovery is developing in the hospital. John Jenkins who is in charge of the programme & Ron have known each other for years & share the same birthday which happens to fall on this trip after I have returned, so no doubt they will be celebrating their birthdays in style some where in Jerusalem.
I was in Dundee last week, running a mentoring workshop for Dundee hearing voices network. Pat has trained up a fantastic group of people to be befriender’s & mentor’s. I took them through the PATH tool which every one loved & everyone took away a plan that they were going to implement.
I also met up with Susan from Plus Perth who I mentor she is an excellent leader & is developing a dynamic, forwarding thinking organisation it s well worth visiting Sue if you are in the Perth area.
Once I drove back from Dundee the rest of this week has been a whirlwind of activity in the garden. All the seeds I had sown a couple of weeks ago are now all through so Ron helped me plant & re-pot every thing.
I am torn about this trip as the weather here is fantastic, there is loads more to be done in the garden , my peats have been cut and now need to be turned and I am not going to be here. Its ok wanting a simpler life on the island but its hard work & still seems to eat up money trying to buy every thing we need for the croft. So I think I will be travelling away working for a few years yet.
