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.

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.

Long beautiful warm days are my only excuse not to have blogged over summer. Tomorrow is March and officially ends ‘summer’, not that I think the weather is going to change in a huge hurry…  Here’s a wee taster of some of the things I got up to over summer. Still so many places and people I have been around and still many stories to tell, if only for Mr Time !

The innocent beauty of a childThe serenity and trust of this child in the hands of an adult is both beautiful and frightening. It is only when you capture how trusting a child is in the hands of an adult that I know how fragile life is.

Children are one third of our population and all of our future.

Select Panel for the Promotion of Child Health, 1981

There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colours are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again.

It matters not
who you love,
where you love,
why you love,
when you love,
or how you love,
It matters only
that You love.

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter’s evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.” 

Woodrow Wilson
28th US President
