Do you ever wonder what would happen if you could hop across to an parallel universe? I often think about how things might be in an alternate dimension. It’s fun to think about the things I might do without the consequences of them going against me in my ‘real life’. This post has happened late at night when I should be sleeping; but my brain has other ideas!

Do you believe in ghosts? A 2013 poll indicated that around 52% of people in the UK do. I wasn’t surprised by this percentage. Around half of people I’ve spoken to about ghosts believe in them and half don’t. I used to fall in the latter group. However, a few years ago something happened which left me not quite so sure.
Happy New Year! It feels a little late to say it now, but I’ve only returned to blogging this week after Christmas. As it was my birthday on New Year’s Day and the first week of January is often quiet, I decided to take it off. If you’re interested, my first post of the new year was about how you can help wild birds this winter, which was published on Monday. I wasn’t sure if I was going to write a post about it. However, I had such a lovely time celebrating my birthday in Brighton that I wanted to relive it by writing about it here!
As colder weather creeps in this winter, many of us will be keen to help wildlife in whichever ways we are able to. One of the easiest ways we can do this is by looking after our wild birds. It is relatively inexpensive to help them with the provision of water and suitable food, especially during times of inclement weather such as snow.
As we begin to move into the colder months of the year, our thoughts turn to festivities, celebrating the New Year, and bundling up in the warm out of the worst of the winter weather! However, for many people around the world, the winter is a constant burden, where every single day is a struggle for survival.
From the homeless in our own communities who will be spending the winter on the streets to vulnerable people struggling across the world, now is the time to spare a thought for those in need and consider what we can do to support these people in their hour of need.
