With the upcoming Red Nose Day on 23 August (www.rednoseday.co.nz) it is a chance to don on a red nose, act silly, share comedy and laughter and raise money for charity. No matter the red nose, the aim is still the same – to help right social inequity. In the past, globally, the day has helped educate people, build safe communities, and has provided much needed health relief. The images of the wonderful Clown Doctors remind us that work of smiling also happens throughout the year to help sick children in hospitals (www.clowndoctors.org.nz). No matter what the red nose and what the charity and what the day, you will be helping someone – to laugh, to donate, to be positive and to be silly, just by wearing a red nose.

I’m not much into messy play with my children. But thanks to inspiration from www.kiwifamilies.co.nz I very much broke the mould and made my kids ‘slime’. We had a great time – bathroom was covered in pink goop and the kids were focussed and happy. Happy children = happy parent!Slime August 2013 Slime August 2013

We are now really into the wintery months and that means warm fires and hot soups. These are some images from a recent harvest festival I attended. A harvest festival is an annual celebration that occurs around the time of the main harvest of a given region. Harvest festivals typically feature feasting, both family and public, with foods that are drawn from crops that come to maturity around the time of the festival. Ample food and freedom from the necessity to work in the fields are two central features of harvest festivals: eating, merriment, contests, music and romance are common features of harvest festivals around the world.

There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!

The fantail
Its a toadstall thing
Cleopatra's winter feast
Spot the spider

Bart: How come Lisa gets a pony?

Homer: Because she stopped loving me.

Bart: I don’t love you either, so give me a moped.

Homer: And I know you love me, so you don’t get squat.

A walk on a beautiful Autumn day in Bolton Street Cemetery.

An old cemetery has so many stories to whisper.                                                      Listen and you will hear.                                                                                             Open your eyes and you will see.
