Trust Life: Love Yourself Every Day with Wisdom from Louise Hay

Product Information

Then Peter Florence, director and co-founder of the Festival, was accused of bullying, and has been suspended pending the outcome of grievance procedures. Each group has a different theme - around the Home Office it's "We are all Crew" - in other words everyone is there to help out. There's going to be a Faith group on Lambeth Bridge, which will also be for Global Food Justice, Re-Wilding groups, a Peace group, and others. Other organisations, like Friends of the Earth, will also be involved. There will also be Non-Violence training sessions going on throughout the protest, and there are also local training days in the days leading up to the protest, at The Koffie Pot in Hereford, the Muse in Brecon, Ross-on-Wye and Bishop's Castle. So there's quite a variety in terms of length of walks and terrain - all in beautiful countryside, of course. On Sunday, there are walks up Hay Common, Hay to Peterchurch with the Hay Ho bus, Llanthony, and the Begwns. When Oliver Balch wrote Under the Tump, his book about living in the Hay area, he interviewed the people who ran the cattle market. They had seen a decline in the use of the market over the years, since it is quite a small, local one.

Seems after 3 weeks since baling they’ll be desperate to get to the outside of the bales and find somewhere more moist to live. They dry up and die eventually if without moisture. In the early days of Hay Festival, the Three Tuns was an essential watering hole for journalists from national newspapers who covered the Festival. Someone asked if this was the right time to hold climate protests, considering the present political climate in the UK. The considered answer was that all the problems over Brexit seemed like a petty squabble compared with the importance of saving the planet. Whatever people's politics are, we all need a habitable planet to live on. In one way, this is a perfect time to protest about climate change, both because of the short time we have to make a difference according to the IPCC report and the volatile nature of British politics at the moment - there may be a General Election soon, and the situation seems to be changing all the time. It was seen as a positive sign that Jane Dodds, the new MP for Brecon and Radnorshire, came to the Brecon protest last week, and was talking about holding a Citizen's Assembly to talk about what can be done in the local area to mitigate climate change. And I had a gift voucher for Marks and Spencers that needed using up - I got a lovely grey flannel shirt. For those who believe that coffee and books are the ultimate pairing, you’ll be pleased to hear that North Books also has a coffee bar!As per usual, I was drawn to the general fiction and fantasy sections and they’ve got a large number of fiction books arranged alphabetically. I also loved browsing the old comics section, which I hadn’t seen yet in Hay-on-Wye! In the evening, there's a talk at the Swan, with speakers talking about walking in the Brecon Beacons, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk, and The Shropshire Six - six hills on a 40 mile route which is traditionally completed in one day!

The girls who are in the bursary project have also been doing well, and are all moving on to the next grade. This is to provide extra support in the form of school materials which parents would usually have to buy, and to give extra training in areas like sexual health. Although the school had hired out the hall, they didn't provide the tables and chairs, which had to be borrowed from Clyro Village Hall. He was admitted to Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge at the early age of 17 where he graduated in History.If you have a story, a song, a poem, a picture, words of remembrance or music you want to play, let us know. Bronllys Well Being Park is a Community Land Trust, a not-for-profit organisation which is developing the area around Bronllys Hospital for the benefit of the local community. There's an article in WyeLocal with an advert, all about it. The talk centred around the state of knowledge in the medieval period in Europe, where a lot of the knowledge of the Classical World had been lost - or rather, it had moved East, to the Islamic world, Vedic India and China, where they encouraged the love of knowledge for its own sake. In the Medieval Christian West, theology was the Queen of Sciences and anything else wasn't seen as important. We went into the Castle grounds to stand on the very lawn where croquet was played at a party Kilvert went to, and he also mentioned people going down to the archery field. Oliver didn't know where that was - I called out that it was now the car park. I was sad to hear yesterday of the death of Lucy Powell, legendary landlady of the Three Tuns before the renovations, which were done after the fire which ended Lucy's time there.

The film crew with Monty Don drank there when he was filming a series about small towns - and one of them over indulged in the cider and was very ill indeed the next day. We started, around 20 of us, at The End, the shop on Castle Street which was used for the Wayzgoose the day before. In the window was a special offer - a copy of Oliver Balch's book Under the Tump, about the local area, with a free goose egg! There were pigs that we fattened up for the freezer, and there was Monty the lurcher (full name Montolieu, after the book town Richard set up in France), and two cats.Ive been reading these types of mites normally feed on other insects, not the hay itself, and have come in from the field - usually dont survive in dry bales for long, preferring 60% moisture to continue their life cycle.

Meanwhile, the Winter Festival is going ahead, but online, like the main Festival this year. It will be taking place over the weekend of November 26th to 29th. As is now traditional, the Turning On of the Christmas Lights will happen on Friday 27th November, with a special Festival guest to flip the switch. There will be carol singing, and Christmas tales recorded in and around Hay's bookshops. Outside the marquee there were food stalls selling a vast variety of take away food - Indian, goat curry, Parsnip-ship's organic and vegetarian food, Welsh pizzas, mulled wine, and more. The councillors are changing round again. This time it's goodbye to Councillor Hugh Sawyer, who is moving on to a new business venture, and hello to Councillor Isobelle Keith, who works at PCI Pharma Services and has lived in Hay for two and a half years - her husband Tom grew up in the area. There's also a solar lamp project, where students can take lamps home so they have light to do their homework. I took the twenty to ten bus from Hay, and got off just beyond Peterchurch at Poston Mill, where the caravan park is. A little way along the main road, I turned off up a driveway which was also a public footpath, which led up to Poston Lodge. The views of the Golden Valley are fantastic, and this morning there was sunshine with a slight haze in the air.The Hay Junior Youth Theatre started in 2009, and have been giving performances ever since. I hugely enjoyed the performance of Henry V at Cusop Church, for instance - it seems strange to think that it was five years ago! After a fairly general session last week, this meeting was more focussed on the up-coming climate action on October 7th and the weeks following that. The next stop is the Medical Centre, and Medics4Timbuktu have a maternal health project in Timbuktu, with a clinic for ante-natal care and trained birth attendants. The tramway and railway ran between Broad Street and the river, and the gas works was at the lower end, which involves the business dealings of solicitor James Spencer of the Hay Railway Company in the nineteenth century. Rob Appleby pointed out that all the scientific endeavour over the last few hundred years has led to us (as a species) learning about 5% of all matter in the universe. There's 95% of stuff out there that we really know very little about, and that includes dark matter. He seemed quite excited by this thought, as it means we have so much yet to discover.
