Only a few days ago I saw a video of the Bradford City fire disaster, as part of a fire training exercise at work. I was eight years old when it happened, and had heard about it, but I had never seen the footage, that was captured live, by a shocked camera crew who just kept filming.

Becky Pippert tells a wonderful story, an old legend really or three trees that make this very clear for me. “There were once 3 ambitious trees on a mountain who were small and were talking about what they wanted to be when they grew up. The 1st tree said, "When I look at the stars and see them

I do not particularly enjoy the world of phone message recorders. I am glad they exist, and I have one at the office. Sometimes people leave important messages. Sometimes the message is not crucial, but it communicates a piece of information. In a day when we have so much to do and remember,
