Share in the discovery of a
cornucopia of interest.

'Reach for the Sky' is a corner of Cyberspace where you can embark on a voyage of discovery. One of my missions is to offer visitors online shopping from thoughtful suppliers who I consider to be among the best in the world. The links to your left will transport you to the most popular areas.

'Reach for the Sky' will always be in continuous development as world topics, concerns or interests may trigger a new area. Your input is so valuable here. Please let me know what you would like to see or share; what your dreams may be whilst remembering, of course, that this site is family orientated and does have a developing section for children.

Also, being married to one of the Country's leading authorities on toy and model soldiers, pages regarding 'The Alamo' and soldier painting can also be found. Please follow the menu on the left for more information.

Both Norma and George have a long history of voluntary sector fundraising and management experience. They have both worked for WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, formerly World Wildlife Fund, which is how they first met in the early 1980’s) and Norma was also fundraising Manager for St. Michael’s Hospice in Basingstoke. Since retiring to Cornwall in 2001, Norma has helped St Austell & District Cats Protection as honorary secretary/website manager; indeed, from the year 2003 five of their own cats were adopted from this Branch. George’s professional experience includes several years as a Constituency Agent for various Members of Parliament as well as fundraising management in the NHS, at an animal rescue centre on Merseyside and for Springhill Hospice in Rochdale. He was also Founder and Director of “Vivace” – a children’s arts charity which gave musical performance opportunities to over 62,000 children and young people across the North of England and the South West of Scotland over a 12 year period.

However, it was during early August 2017 when we saw our love of wildlife and cats come close together. A pair of hedgehogs decided to have a family in our garden. We saw the two  of them, together, on a couple of occasions when suddenly, we began to see a routine! The female, who we called Hope, would  walk slowly around the perimeter of the garden often collecting leaves. She came very close to the house and often stopped for a 'chat' with Milo, one of our cats. There was no fear from either of them; it almost seemed 'expected'. It was a super sight and we are so glad to have been able to photograph them. We share this now with wonderful news. Two beautiful hoglets were born and they all live happily ever after!!

A warm

awaits you from Norma, George and our extended family, as you visit
'Reach for the Sky'.
