Here I'm going to write my thoughts on who we are and what our place is on this planet. These stories won't be on any chronological order. I could start from the middle, go way back to creation or look into near and distant future. There is no beginning or end. Sometimes science takes a …
Some images from our camping holiday
I think everyone needs to go camping, unplug, be social in a real world The walk... Tha bach (cottage, crib) has no electricity or cell signal and no road access. So you either go by boat or walk in at low tide. The view from my tent #camping
