This morning I woke up with the overwhelming need to go to church. I’ve been a bit lax lately but felt I had to go today. I got to church dead on 10 o’clock and as I got out the car I saw my sister walking up the road. She goes to another church in Muswell Hill but she was running late, she decided to come to my church which starts a little later. We got there at exactly the same time. Today everything in the readings the gospel and indeed Father Ben’s wonderful sermon all seem to resonate with me. I really felt like my mum was with us this morning. Then it came time for the third hymn and when I open the hymn book it was Jerusalem the Golden which was my mum‘s favourite hymn. I found myself welling up and soon I was weeping as I sang. I looked at my sister and she was crying too. At the end of the service we both said we felt that mum was with us today. On the way home I popped into Sainsbury’s and saw some flowers just as I entered and I was immediately drawn to them. I wasn’t sure what they were called so I use an app to identify them and find out their name.

I was so glad when Adam Jogee won his seat in Newcastle-under-Lyme (They are so lucky to have him) because he is such a nice hard working young man. If you missed the lovely interview I did with him in season one of World What’s Up!. Check it out here.

I think I’m going to have a dance in the rain later. Did it once ages ago and it was wonderful. Have a little look at this article and maybe you could join me!

How dancing in the rain can benefit your mental health
Rain can be especially important to those with anxiety. That might seem counterintuitive because people with anxiety might have more to worry about when it’s raining. However, the truth is that if you switch your perspective on rain storms, they can actually be a soothing tool.
One of the most important things you can learn from a rainy day is that much of your happiness depends on your perspective. You can view a rainy day as a bummer and an inconvenience, or you can be like Drew Barrymore and celebrate the amazing opportunity Earth has provided to frolick and play during a necessary and natural earthly process.
A rainy day is simply one element of the human experience here on Earth, and it can be a happy and delightful occasion if you simply decide to make it one! Of course, those suffering from clinical depression should seek advice and treatment from a medical professional, who may be able to prescribe antidepressant medications such as Trintellix when necessary. Trintellix is manufactured by Lundbeck, the brand name for vortioxetine in Canada and sold under the brand name Brintellix in the US and EU. This drug is used to treat major depression, not anxiety. But for others, self-care activities and playful fun like dancing in the rain could make a major difference.
This is one of the best mental exercises you can perform for your mental and emotional health: switching your perspective and practicing gratitude instead of complaining. See “setbacks” as opportunities to have fun, enjoy, learn, and make the most of a situation you cannot control.
On top of all that, remember that stress is a silent killer. Stress can lead to heart disease, weight gain, and much more. So much of your mental health depends on your perspective. If you get all upset every time the weather doesn’t cooperate, you’re destined to live your life bending to the whims of the earth and your surroundings.

Saturday was one of the best days I’ve ever had! Woke up in a field at Love Supreme after teriable over night storm .Had a bit of breakfast with my boy then went to see fantastic Singer JOEL CULPEPPER really soulful. Then on a hike to the local train station to get a train into Lewis to watch the football. What an emotional rollercoaster that was. Then back to the festival in time to catch the legend that is DIONNE WARRICK follows by the amazing OLIVIA DEAN. Then ROMESH RANGANATHAN and MARTIN 25MOOVE playing the best hip hop set I’ve ever heard and finally DJ SPOONY with soul and Funk set to end the perfect day! Sunday wasn’t too shabby either with more legends in the shape of JOSS STONE, KOOL AND THE GANG AND CHAKA KHAN taking the roof of the place ( if there had been a roof) to finish the weekend. I feel blessed!

Today I behold all the abundance that surround me! I am truly blessed with my family and friends. I was so lucky to be born where I was born, at the time I was born and to live where I live. I take none of this for granted and I am truly grateful every single day. In the coming year I will be taking my show Vegan Hunter to the Edinburgh festival, performing in one amazing play and featuring in at least one feature film.
