Have you ever seen a landscape like this? See how red the path is…… It can be hard to remember this is a landscape on our planet…. Where is this? Roussillon, Provence. On the outskirts of the village the old ochre works have been transformed into a visitor centre = Le Conservatoire d’ocre

Here’s two reasons why I’m concerned about using “Evidence Based Medicine” to make decisions about what should not be available on the NHS.

Ok, try this today…..notice the light. Just let some light catch your attention and stop for a moment and wonder. How does it look? How does the world reveal the light to you? How does the light make you feel?

In these two photos, the plants look incredibly delicate and fragile, but, in fact, see where they are growing.
