Life is NOW




I was travelling by coach to Belgium for a day in Bruges and this poem came to mind. I think there is always anticipation of the future when we go on holiday but I was thinking that we must be in the present moment  and enjoy whatever life has to offer in the now.

This video is a narrated version of my poem

Calling all Guardian readers!

The funding for newspapers to be avauilable for the general public at Taunton Library  has been cut by the Council.

Therefore the Friends of Taunton Library have been fundraising to provide this service.

Zoe Ainsworth-Grigg is a retired Civil Servant and a Friend of Taunton Library.  She is a writer and facilitates a creative writing workshop at Taunton Library on the first Wednesday of the month.

At a committee meeting of The FOTL she was horrified to realise there was only enough fundraising to pay for one national broadsheet newspaper.  After a vote, it was decided that, The Daily Telegraph was the choice 10/2.


She is a member of the Green Party and while she fully accepts our democratic process, she also  believes minority views should be catered for in a democracy and a balanced view provided by our public services.

She wondered how she could help, so she has started a crowdfunder site for The Gardian at Taunton Library.   If you feel you can contribute to two years of the paper being available at Taunton Library, please donate.
