School Trip

  I went on a school trip when I was young and I have never forgotten it. We didn't go far and we were going to another school. To get there we had to cross fields and walk in meadows. As we came to the top of the hill I vividly remember thinking how beautiful the landscape was; full of yellow and white flowers as far as I could see. Rolling hills that seemed to go on forever. We climbed the top of the hill and before me was an old school, small in stature but magnificent to look at. A Victorian structure with a playground and yard to the side of it.  We went into the school, as it was part of our history education and it was being used for us children to learn all about life as a child in Victorian England. We did a class on chalk boards and then went to play in the playground. I could not stop thinking that anyone who went to that school was so lucky. Everything about it was magnificent. I have never forgotten that trip and it will live in my memory forever.

Harriett handed Julian his tea. 'Let's drink this first before starting on the food.' She sat down opposite Julian again. The tea tasted so sweet and was truly a welcome beverage that Julian tho...

Debt And How To Still Get On With Life

  Debt. This can be seen as a dirty word, but I guarantee that we have all had some in our life, no matter how small or large. We just don't see or hear of it that much as we may hide our head in the sand and pretend it isn't there, or in my case, just feel too embarrassed to admit that we have it. My journey with debt started over 20 years ago. I had never really had much money. I had a job, rented a house and just basically lived from day to day. Things started to get a little bit out of control when I lost my job and had to find a property with the local council as I could not afford to live in the house that I was privately renting. I was offered a one bedroom flat, which I immediately took, but was still unemployed.  For a year I was still not working, but I managed to survive with what I had and then eventually I managed to find a job that had a temporary contract for 12 months. It was close to where I lived, so I could walk there and back everyday and it helped to get m...
