You're Doing It Right

There has been a lot in the news about recently about America’s financial situation, something about falling off a cliff, but today’s blog is about a much more simple American idea. Shawna Wood has set up a not for profit organization, with a simple plan to get every US Household to donate a dollar a [...]

Post Pals is just fantastic, I stumbled across it via a Tweet from former YDIR winner Alice Pyne and I just had to make sure I updated the blog as soon as possible, so dog walked, dinner eaten, Master Ydir in bed here it is.  If my word press app has worked you should see [...]

That is not a typo, today’s YDIR award winner is 92 (ninety two)! Ruth Perkins helps run a number of activities for Self Help Enterprise, including a bingo and a lunch club for lonely pensioners (who are younger than her!) . She has had not one, not two but three hip operations but that just [...]

Hello, Please accept my apologies for the lack of blog recently, which is entirely down to me getting distracted by lots of things, such as the day job, potty training (not for me, but for Master Ydir I got the hang of that quite some time ago) and a wedding amongst other things. The lack [...]
