Photo of Lucia

I'm back in Bristol for a few days after visiting my daughter and her hubbie and the lovely new grandchild Lucia - she is absolutely beautiful. Here's a link to some photos..

They went home today after a few days in a lovely unit where her husband was allowed to stay while they learnt all about breast feeding etc - we're so lucky in the UK - the NHS were absolutely brilliant - she had to have a Caesarian in the end and the treatment was excellent and the aftercare good too. They get so much of a knocking but compared to other countries we are still very fortunate.

And here's one for those who haven't clicked the link above

After a protracted labour my daughter finally had her baby by Caesarian section in the early hours of this morning.

Thankfully she's fine and the baby is absolutely gorgeous (7lbs 2oz) and is called Lucia.

I'm on someone else's computer and will be home on weds.

Photos to follow later in the week. Thank goodnes they're alright now! How exciting to be a grandparent for the first time - it's an amazing feeling!

Birthday

I had a lovely evening with family and close friends last night to celebrate my full moon birthday! I think a full moon only happens about every 19 years on my birthday and this one felt particularly auspicious.

There are some pics at this LINK - you can see how very pregnant my daughter is - I shan't see her now till after the baby's born in about 3 weeks or so!

Mum home

9:13 AM - Sat 6 September 2008

I collected my mum from hospital yesterday and brought her home for a week's convalescence. Now the main thing will be to stop her doing to much and making sure she rests and does her special exercises.

Won't be here much but thanks so much for all your support and encouragement and good wishes - it's very much appreciated!

Today I take my mum in for an op on her back. Hopefully all will go well but I'd appreciate your good vibes, prayers or whatever else you can send her for a quick and full recovery.

She's coming to stay with me for a while to convalesce from Thursday or Friday.

Thanks everyone!!

Back from a wonderful day in Birmingham listening to Prem Rawat (known as Maharaji) speaking on peace and inner fulfillment.

If I was able I'd try and convey what he said here - but I can't so I just give you this link.

With all the recent videos I've watched on peoples blogs about the US nominations etc I thought I'd put up this short video by my spiritual teacher Maharaji about peace. It's a different angle - not political.

I've been practicing the meditation he teaches for nearly 40 years so I can claim to know it works ha ha!!

Girlfriends

What a lovely few days I've had.

One of my oldest friends from London from the seventies came to stay for a couple of nights. I took her out and about in Bristol on Tuesday afternoon which was glorious sunshine and Bristol on a sunny day can't be beaten. We have so much green space and gorgeous walks, not to mention the Suspension Bridge.

In the evening after a quick but nice meal I took her to my regular open mic night and on Wednesday she came with me to songwriting. She has a beautiful voice but hadn't sung in public for more than twenty years so a bit of a breakthrough for her.

Last night I invited two other close women friends to join us for dinner and for me having my closest friends together for an evening of talk and laughter couldn't be bettered. I cooked a lovely meal of salmon and roast vegetables with garlic and honey, strawberries and cream and we drank wine and whiled away the evening chatting about the past, present and future.

Life is good.

Knowledge Birthday

12:24 PM - Sun 16 March 2008

Posted in Personal
Yesterday, March 15th was what I call my "Knowledge" birthday.

On that day in 1972 I was taught some simple but wonderful meditation techniques by my spiritual teacher Prem Rawat (Maharaji) which have been my anchor throughout my life.

The teaching is very simple and doesn't clash with any religions or promote a particular lifestyle but just shows a way to connect with your own inner self.

When I practice it regularly it gives me genuine inner happiness and peace and whatever's going on in my every day life it provides a constant point of reference.

So thankyou Maharaji for enhancing my life and giving it real purpose.

Words of Peace
