Deal Mental Awareness Day
Having experienced our own Mental Health Awareness Day in Folkestone Town Centre this week, it was good to experience a different venue for the same exhibitions. I was impressed that so many people remembered us from Thursday, and good to meet new people with displays we had not yet seen.

Canine Auction for Help Dogs
Most of us know about Guide Dogs for the Blind, but few people seem to know about Help Dogs who care for disabled people. I was invited to attend this fund raising auction and to speak about the charity.

Canterbury Cathedral Justice Service
There is one thing for sure about Britain, and that is that we do pomp and ceremony really well. Watching the procession of Barristers, Judges, Bishops, Priests, Mayors, Lord Warden and High Sheriff was stunning and yet strangely scary. A judge with a black cap surely is a memorable vision that harks back to darker times.

Human Landscape Exhibition
Our town is fortunate to have a wealth of talent and a depth of creativity that we can be proud of. The exhibition at The Grand Hotel, was grand indeed and offered those attending an opportunity to celebrate along with the artists themselves, what awesome drawings and paintings we have to put on show.

Mental Health Awareness Day
Not even the weather could dampen the enthusiasm and passion of the caring people, who set up stalls for the Mental Health Awareness Day in the Lanterns area of the town. At every stall there was something new to learn and a story of hope to inspire us.
