Its The Little Things You Sometimes Notice...

educationalist Sir Ken Robinson was interviewed on the long running radio series Desert Island Discs recently and was asked how he would survive on this island living on his own...

His answer was "I would find it very difficult. I like my own company but I'm not great at solitude. I used to spend time at home as a kid in my own room but I knew the family were in the next room" And that is something I used to think when both my parents were alive and its never been truer since I lost Mum.

There were other things I could identify with that he said such as he was in a hurry to get somewhere, a piece of music came on the radio and he realised how much his Mum meant to him and he made a 200 mile detour to spend time with her and have a meal which he no longer is able to do and he had the choice.

Sometimes the series can be superficial but often you really do get an insight into the featured subject, their character and why they are who they are. Why they chose the music that that they have and sometimes see a reflection of yourself.

Often people are very honest and giving. Once again, the wide range of those featured and from many walks of life and society shows  how all too easily people are judged and often wrongly.
