This site hosts my blogs during an attempt to walk from Land's End To John O' Groats i.e. LEJOG These are notionally the most distant points on the UK mainland.  Here is the proposed route: If you decide to join, you will receive an email every time the site is updated.  I hope to add some sound files to the site so that I can record my thoughts and observations as I have pathetic typing skills.  The keypad on my smartphone is a real challenge and it seems a logical choice to dictate my notes.  …

21st Century Pagans The Real Wild Church was an idea I came up with fifteen years ago. The plan was to create a "church" that caters for people who have lost interest in conventional religion but who would like to meet socially for friendship and FUN. Sex would also be an option. My vision is something akin to the Hillsong Centre but catering for skeptics, heretics, pagans, atheists, agnostics and people who interact sexually with garden gnomes. The Readers Digest used to say 'Humor is is the B …

We meet to have fun using design principles from Tim Ferris bestseller "The Four Hour Work-week'.

Tim hadn’t written his book when I started out, but lucky for me, his effectiveness principles can be found in Permaculture …

This group will explore the intersections between philosophy and theology, between atheism and theism, between science and religion, and between science and art. We use the original Greek form "philosophia" to emphasize a love of wisdom and to refer to the roots of philosophy in great ancient Greek writers like Plato and Aristotle, shown here from a painting by Rafael (1511). Plato points up to heaven and has been seen as the father of a more mystical tradition in philosophy. Aristotle spreads …
