Alice On Her Way To Collect The Tree

Liz and I travelled to Littleport to see Alice and her family for the annual Christmas tree run. Alice’s father Adam likes a giant Christmas tree, and so we take the pick-up for transportation of the tree.

It’s one of my favourite days of the year. Collect and then watch The Stanford family decorate the tree. This year Tristan can contribute to the tradition, he loves flashing lights so the tree will be a real hit with this cheerful fellow.

The pictures give an idea of how the day turned out, from collection to switch on, everyone’s happy. Once the lights are sparkling, there is time for a Christmas interview with Alice. Kids see the World in such a clear and straightforward way. We would do well to take a lesson from their integrity.

Jon Sharpe Listens to Podcast

Liz and I organise Well Being Events, and Jon is the kingpin of the promotional regime. Over the weekend of 15 and 16 September, we opened the doors to our Newark Well Being Show. How each show ‘works’ is a reflection of the accumulated energy or potential of the pre-event endeavours.

Not only do we enjoy organising and promoting the shows. We love working with the members of the Community who join together to make these events so fantastic. The reputation of The Well Being Shows grows with every event. And this podcast is a reflection on our work and the ideas for the future. Jon and I enjoy random thoughts and conversations. If you have an interest in our Well Being it is worth a listen.

Jon is one of the most intelligent people I have encountered in my six decades of existence. Not only is he a brilliant historian, with a 50 terabyte memory: he balances this formal intelligence with a desire for secret wisdom. He is an esoteric junkie: Do not run shy from listening to or reading Jon’s work, he believes the juxtaposition of belief, social and moral ideas are very much part of our historical evolution. This quest for knowledge is why he enjoys experiencing every aspect of The Well Being Shows.

Jon Talks Wedgewood

The Jasperware

The Jasperware

Jon is commissioned to complete a full history of and catalogue the contents of Witcham Hall in Oxfordshire.

He has a particular interest in the furniture and pottery in the house. During the listings, Jon made an incredible discovery. A pair of green and white Wedgewood Jasperware vases, dated around 1870. The podcast reveals the story behind the design of the artwork which depicts ‘The Dance of the Hours.’

The Makepeace family owns Witcham Hall: they have possessed it since 1927. As already mentioned Jon is commissioned to complete a full history, and catalogue the contents of this most substantial property. Although the building will never be open to the public: they feel those who have an interest in the magnificent building should have an opportunity to read a catalogue and book which will be the result of Jon’s work.

The podcast was recorded at a busy Victoria Market in Nottingham: My apologies for the quality of the recording.

See You Soon
