I've decided to write a new blog. It's called Canny Granny's Advice to the Young , but anyone is welcome. I've been thinking about doing this for some time. In this modern world I'm not sure how many young people have access to Grandparents and their experience of life, so I decided to try to fill the gap there may be. Parents are so busy these days and many of them are very young themselves and burdened down with modern life. I'm intending to write about money with it's many pitfalls and also relationships, plus plus. I intend to keep writing here in a more general way.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
