04 May 2017 Hidden Gems A short London walk with detours. By Lynda Goetz I lived in London for eleven years, but when I visit these days it is as an outsider; not a tourist exactly, but definitely a visitor. As a visitor, I often like to walk. Walking re-familiarizes and brings me into closer… Continue reading Issue 103: 2017 05 04: Hidden Gems (Lynda Goetz)

20 April 2017 Mental Health An important issue but over-reacting will not be helpful. by Lynda Goetz Until the front pages were hijacked by Theresa May’s decision to hold a snap election on 8th June, the Princes and mental health were very much amongst the top stories of the last few days.

13 April 2016 The Ski Club of Great Britain Over 100 years old and going strong by Lynda Goetz A few weeks ago I came back from one of the Ski Club’s Freshtracks holidays.

Issue 100:2017 04 13:America after the fall (Lynda Goetz)
13 April 2017 America After the Fall Royal Academy* reviewed by Lynda Goetz Painting in the 1930s This exhibition is not going to fill you with the joys of spring. Its mood is sombre and downbeat – possibly appropriate for the way many feel in the current climate. The styles are varied, but almost universally… Continue reading Issue 100:2017 04 13:America after the fall (Lynda Goetz)

16 March 2017 The WWF Living Planet Report 2016 Naively optimistic or realistic vision? by Lynda Goetz Most of us recognise the panda symbol, but how many of us really know what the organisation it represents actually does?

09 March 2017 Taking Responsibility For Ourselves Deciding you weren’t ‘into it’ does not mean you have been raped. By Lynda Goetz This is a subject I have addressed before on different occasions and in different ways (see Anonymity or spotlight in rape cases?) and is one on which I find I share almost 100% the views… Continue reading Issue 95: 2017 03 09: Taking Responsibility For Ourselves (Lynda Goetz)

Issue 92: 2017 02 16: Get real, ladies! (Lynda Goetz)
16 February 2017 Get Real, Ladies! Divorce nearly always for poorer. by Lynda Goetz Divorce, like marriage, should never be undertaken lightly. Unlike marriage, however, it is rarely for richer and nearly always for poorer. So, before you listen to those who would urge you to ‘dump the bastard and find someone younger and better… Continue reading Issue 92: 2017 02 16: Get real, ladies! (Lynda Goetz)
