SHOW NOTES Death is the thing we can none of us get away from, although modern PC encourages us not to think about it. We're also encouraged to treat death as the most awful thing, incredibly sad, that we should show lots of deep emotion. And - and the medical profession has strict instructyions on this - to keep people alive at pretty well all costs. I don't subscribe to any of this. In the Old Ways we know death is the other half of life, that you cannot have one without the other, that its part of the natural cycle I had an interesting happening with a colleague yesterday - and we talked about it ...

I'm in a business relationship that needs to change. It can be just as hard to do as a personal one! Have you been there? Are you there right now too? it's so darn easy to throw the baby out with the bath water! make a "clean break" - and that can be so wrong. It's hard and delicate work, changin, growing and evolving a realtionship. That's right where I am! And we're too often advised to make a clean break, it can feel so much easier to do that. And it is often much less work. But we really can lose out if we do. I'm talking about how I see all that in this podcast.

Enjoy - and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Yes - really!

Most whiskeys are blended, from several different malts, Johnny Walker is supreme at this, but for me the very best whiskeys are the single malts.

A single malt is a whiskey that is not blended. It comes from a single malt, the mash of a single growth of barley, brewed with the particular spring water of that distillery, and using its own yeast. I like the ones from the Isle of Islay best, especially Bruichladdich and Lafrohaig.

So how am I a single malt? I come from my own family and heritage, I was brewed in that family tradition, I'm authentically me.

That can be a bit challenging for some people, sometimes, but it's what and who I am. And we can all be like that. we can all be our own single malt, not a blend of what other people think we should be. And yes, that will challenge some people. Is that such a bad thing?

I like particular sorts of music, books, food, furnishings, clothes, wine, places to live, all that stuff. I don't follow trends , though sometimes I find I'm actually fashionable LOL.

How do you feel about all that?

Are you - or would you like to be - a single malt too?
