[Margaret Pilkington]

Well, yes and no.....I despair at the way the world is going, but feel powerless to change it......and I can only do my bit (which isn't much)
I try to find something positive in each day and something to make me smile.
I am really saddened by the fact that children have much more restricted lives in some ways....they can't play conkers....they don't get to play out and do all the things that we did as children growing up....they aren't exposed to any danger...so how can they know how to face danger when they are grown up....they aren't allowed to be competitive...so how do they compete in this world where it is dog eat dog.
They are exposed to violence and bad language so how do they know politeness and goodness....Ok.... these may be sweeping generalisations which are never good...but that is my perspective.
