How The Other Half Live- An Update

As we were coming out of the Chinese restaurant in Grange a car pulled up,  the driver  put his head out of the window and spoke to  Glen, very politely- “I hope you don’t mind me asking but didn’t I see you on Channel 4- “How The Other Half Live”?”.  Glen and I, Sara and Dominique still find ourselves being stopped by strangers almost every day, even though it is three months since the programme went out. 
The question I’m most frequently asked is “How is Glen getting on with his Open University course?”.  Glen brought me up to date on this during his visit this weekend- he has enrolled on a four year course to be a teacher with Birkbeck College (not, in the event, the O.U.) and will start in October. Kylan will start at the primary school next door to their new house when he is three next March. Nicole, who is taller than ever, is going to college next month to do a two year course on beauty and hairdressing and Dominique has started at her new school where one of her subjects will be Japanese. Most importantly of all they are loving their new house and are able to go out and about with complete freedom.

    ​About Slow Life

    The idea of Slow Life is to take the principles of Slow Food, which are “good, clean and fair”, and extend them to life in general.

    Here in the Lake District, the air is clean, the pace is slow and the atmosphere is calm. If we don’t grow food ourselves, we can buy it in friendly small shops, where you know the quality is going to be the best.

    This blog is a celebration of the Slow Life, with forays into the world of design, music, the arts, gardens, and my particular weakness, Japan.
