Campagne tegen de modernisering van de Britse kernwapens. En ook tegen de modernisering van de Amerikaanse kernwapens op Volkel (NL). Meer over Wol Tegen Wapens.

Getting through — Beeswax and Broomsticks
http://www.beeswaxandbroomsticks.co.uk/2014/02/21/getting-through
Hello February, you scoundrel of a month. Big bunch of whingers I remember thinking. So never mind what puts us there, what gets us through? The thought that winter is passing? A long hot bath? Brand new girl boxers ordered off the internet late at night? I really have no idea. I do know that attempting to knit slinky jumpers on circular needles with under arm cast offs, when I can barely knit a straight scarf, is not the cleverest. I also know Netflix and 82% dark chocolate is a no-no after 10pm. I bury...

A blog about craft and positive change by Roo Paprika. Wool Against Weapons Day. August 10, 2014. September 14, 2014. One of those days you really don’t know what to expect, after all the knitting and the excitement online, I packed myself, the 9 month old Tiny Overlord and an ample load of picnic provisions in to the van and we headed in to the West Berkshire countryside. And to Aldermaston and Burghfield, home of the UK’s atomic weapons development centres. If you want to know more about Wool Against W...

November rolls in…. — Beeswax and Broomsticks
http://www.beeswaxandbroomsticks.co.uk/2013/11/07/november-rolls-in
November rolls in…. Does November know what it is this year? Always heartening to know that your pets will double check you for deadness before they eat you.]. Yeah, so where did we get to? November also brings the candlelight, and the beginning of the official ‘cosy time’ when my bad ass gets glued to the sofa. This can last, if I time it right, from November through to April, sooooo good. And from stitching to sisterhood – the Feminism in London Conference 2013. We rock sisters…. There are people putti...

autumn — Beeswax and Broomsticks
http://www.beeswaxandbroomsticks.co.uk/category/autumn
Category — autumn. Samhain by the Ocean. November 1, 2013. Stitching, walking, thinking. I will not die an unlived life. I will not not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days. To allow my living to open me,. To make me less afraid, more accessible,. To loosen my heart. Until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance;. To live so that which came to me as seed. Goes to the next as blossom. And that which came to me as blossom. Goes on as fruit.

Category — baking. Local is as Local Does. How could you not love a pub with leopard skin walls and a faded photo of Elvis to greet you as you arrive? It has casino nights, legal advice nights, ‘Up the Workers’ food nights, and Sunday roasts. A notice says ‘Well behaved owners welcome if accompanied by their dogs…children also welcome if accompanied by well behaved parents” (that’s us out then). Festivites are still going strong in October with a mean ‘Pickle Off’ – not for the faint he...Chocolate and S...

Today I feel…. I have a postcard on my bedroom wall that says: “Today I feel a bit normal”. Now clearly, this is far removed from what I actually feel. But it struck me recently as a rather sensible and splendid goal to have in mind, each day, you know – like something to aim for. And while I am waiting for this ‘normal’ to float down gracefully into my world, like little pieces of stardust, then it is good to have certain things around me, to keep me going. And fresh flowers from the allotment. No siree...
