Things Are Looking Up (And Down And All Around)
It’s Thursday, so it’s podcast day here at Away From The Noise and today we’re in the beautiful city of Valencia. This week’s podcast was inspired by almost literally bumping into the National Ceramics Museum based here and how we need to be more aware and connected with our surroundings to live more happily.

One Thing At A Time
You would think that it would be easier to do one thing at a time, but how many people do you see who are doing two or perhaps more of the following everyday things at the same time?: – chatting – reading/looking at mobile phone/tablet – communicating (making a phone call/sending an email/text/Whatsapp) – listening…

Without A Care In The World
I saw a boy this morning in a cafe happily singing along to ‘Stand By Me’ without a care in the world with his mum proudly watching, which was quite sweet, especially as he was horrendously out of tune. Everyone in the cafe of course applauded. Free live music with your morning coffee too. Result! However,…

Plums – The Inspirational Fruit
Having recently had some really nice plum jam, I was reminded of an interesting conversation I had a while ago with a friend who helped me to see the inspirational potential of plums… Yes, that’s what I said. Not a euphemism for anything else. The fruit. I have a birthday coming up soon and to…

I’m So Excited
I recently watched Pedro Almodovar’s most recent film ‘I’m So Excited’ which takes place on a plane. I’m a huge fan of his films, however sadly this one is perhaps not one of his best. However, it did get me thinking about a recent trip to the airport after a recent holiday. I noticed a girl…
