"Virgin Galactic will be using clean and safe technology, tech that is many 1000 of times more environmentlly friendly than any previous manned space vehicle.

Already Virgin Galactic's carrier White Knight II is the world's largest all carbon-composite aircraft. With the end of the oil era approaching and climate change progressing faster than most models have been predicting........ robust, safe, and more importantly environmentally benign space travel is more important than ever....."

Suggest you just watch the water in the crisp ice and snow of winter and listen to the words..

But if you want to cut to the chase of a phenomenal parent to child communication, go straight to 5:55 minutes and hit play

The Human Equivalent of birdsong

Posted on Nov 27th, 2009 by

I had landed in England on my birthday; 11:11. My first English-soil birthday in 20 years.

And now, at my sister's house, every bed & every bedroom was full after my birthday celebration. I was sharing a bed with one of my daughters. In our room also was 13 month Holly and 3 year old Minnie.

And there, in the pre-dawn darkness, pre-verbal Holly sang out; one melodic line that plucked me from sleep in utter astonished delight.

Then silence, as I lay, alert now, almost breathless at what I had just heard.

Minutes passed.. then she did it again, another glorious melody~string. Another silence, then some rustling of bedclothes as she transitioned into infant-like chatter of which I am familiar; also delightful but with the former glorious human-birdsong still reverberating through my awed psyche.

Up the Tall White Candlestick went little Mousey Brown

Right to the top

and he couldn't get down....

So he called to his gran'ma;

"Gran'ma! Gran'ma!!!"

But Gran'ma was in town..

So he curled himself up

in a tight little ball and

He rolled himself

all the way down.......

Nottingham in a Tudor Tent : )

Posted on Aug 12th, 2009 by

Always delightful to sojourn again to my Nottingham family but this is the first time we pulled out the Tudor Tent and erected it in their very small garden (to accommodate my being here along with Freddie grandson).

Fabulous, awesome, magnificent!! We set it up as darkness was falling. I awoke this morning to the sight of (much beloved) 'Harebells' in the grass inside the tent canvas, which, to answer Meenakshi's question, are pale blue, and similar to Bluebells but more delicate (see picture). I love that I only ever saw them growing wild in Scotland. But then I found them wild in Wounded Knee, South Dakota.
