#passiton No Child Born To Die


We never realise what a fortunate position we are in here until someone takes that one extra step to make us sit up in our chair and have a good hard look at ourselves, our families and our lives.  We have a National Health Service that provides care and medication.  We have the opportunity to decide whether our children have the free vaccinations to help them towards a healthy childhood.  Our children can be protected against diseases such as pneumonia, measles and polio.  


Currently one in five children worldwide do not receive vaccinations of any kind leaving them vulnerable to potentially life-threatening diseases.  Ahead of the Global Alliance for Vaccinations (GAVI) summit, lead by David Cameron in London in June, Save the Children are following the Cold Trail of a vaccine from London to Mozambique - so called because vaccines have to be kept cold even in difficult circumstances.

Going with Save The Children on the Cold Trail this year is a well-known and much-loved member of the parent blogging community.  Christine Mosler, who blogs at Thinly Spread is determined to raise awareness and collate the information needed at the GAVI summit to convince the world leaders to make available the necessary funds that will allow vaccinations to become freely available.  Currently 4 million children die every year because they don't get access to vital, live-saving vaccines.

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...
