Teaching Hearts of Christmas
by Steve Tanham
Each year, in the run-up to Christmas, I look for an article or piece of news that touches my heart so that I can share it on the last working day before the festivities. This is my offering for Christmas 2016. It was written by Siobhan Collingwood, who is the headteacher of Morecambe Bay Community Primary School. Bernie and I both cried reading it. Happy … Read More Teaching Hearts of Christmas

The Silent Eye Two people stand just ahead of the main group at the edge of a Llyn Carrig Bach, the sacred Druid lake which now lies just off the end of the runway at RAF Valley, on Anglesey.

The Silent Eye Moon over Venus – our treasured goal for the Druid twilight. There are at least three dimensions to one of the Silent Eye’s discovery weekends.

There … Read More French Postcards 6

Whispers in the West – part two
by Steve Tanham
Whispers in the West – part two The second day of our the Silent Eye’s Whispers in the West weekend began with relief – that we didn’t have to drive all the way across South Wales, again, to reach the town of Newport – our starting point for day two. There are, apparently, many Newports in Wales, but only one of them, some twenty … Read More Whispers in the West – part two
