I am writing because Anna, who has become an amazing, dear friend since helping us look after our children locally for the last 3.5 years, has set up a charity - Pilipala, with the aim to fund social enterprises that will provide employment for refugees arriving in mainland Greece.


Their aim is to provide a practical solution to the lack of employment for refugees arriving in an already economically unstable country. To try and empower people through employment and creativity.


Their first project they are working on is setting up a print and textile studio in Athens, where products will be made to sell on their online store and in stores across the UK.

Please go to her gofund me page for further information and to please donate!

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      We are sadly saddled with the three stooges till July 2029 because they have such a far reaching majority, that is the problem when you give a party that level of support.  The ship was being turned around by the last Administration and given all their faults, errors, misdemeanours its not surprising that that got and probably deservedly so out of Office.  But if what has just happened over the past 100+ days since the new Administration took power, we are in for a very bumpy ride and peoples lives will ALL be affected. They say they champion the poor, well all they've done so far by taking away the winter fuel allowance (not eligible for it) and increasing employers national insurance, as sure as eggs is eggs, prices will increase and that hits everyone in the pocket, including the poorest in society. You can only shake the money tree so often, after which time it's Empty. What that means is the cost of providing benefits increases, where does the money then come from.  To then take on the farmers who feed part of the economy is utter madness, because if they blockade food supplies then people will go hungry, not necessarily starve. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you.  Their is enough written about the three stooges, Starmer, Reeves and Rayner, I have no idea if they are supposed "communists", but what I have seen is that free speech is being eroded, that can never be good for a democracy, where people are scared to speak out.  How does all this change, the people will eventually have had enough and rise up against the Govt. It has to happen eventually. Even is Starmer went you are left with Reeves and Rayner. Personally O don't trust either, it will be more of "do as I say, not as I do".
