I AM A VERY SMALL COG IN THE CFZ FAMILY
Over 2 years ago I was living in a village called Woolsery were in decided to look for some volunteer work and I found a local place called CFZ. I give them a ring and went to the cottage where I meet Jon and Richard and had a chat in his garden and he told me that I would end up with the bug for cryptozoology which I can is true to this day. I became a very small cog in the cfz family by helping out with events and research and if still do in this way.
I AM A STEP PARENT
I cannot remember if have written about this before so please forgive me dear reader if I have. I became an instant step parent back in 1988 onwards and it was a bit of a shock and a learning curve at first. Over time I got to love the children and never asked them to call me dad as it was up to them. I realise very early it is best to not interfere with raising them and try keep quiet. So I find it deeply upsetting when I get told I not part of their life and I sometimes think being a step parent should come with advice.

Getting help if you're feeling suicidal
SuicideCausesWarning signsGetting helpHelping othersPrevention
If you're reading this because you're having suicidal thoughts, try to ask someone for help. It may be difficult at this time, but it's important to know you're not beyond help and you're not alone.
Talking to someone can help you see beyond feelings of loneliness or despair and help you realise there are options.
There are people who want to talk to you and help. Try talking to a family member or friend about how you're feeling.
There are several telephone helplines you can call at any time of the day or night. You can speak to someone who understands how you're feeling and can help you through the immediate crisis.
Helplines and support groups
We know it can be difficult to pick up the phone, but reach out to somebody and let them know how you are feeling.
Samaritans (116 123) operates a 24-hour service available every day of the year. If you prefer to write down how you're feeling, or if you're worried about being overheard on the phone, you can email Samaritans at jo@samaritans.org.Childline (0800 1111) runs a helpline for children and young people in the UK. Calls are free and the number won't show up on your phone bill.PAPYRUS (0800 068 41 41) is a voluntary organisation supporting teenagers and young adults who are feeling suicidal.Depression Alliance is a charity for people with depression. It doesn't have a helpline, but offers a wide range of useful resources and links to other relevant information.Students Against Depression is a website for students who are depressed, have a low mood or are having suicidal thoughts.Bullying UK is a website for both children and adults affected by bullying.
Help for young men
Men may be more likely to avoid or ignore problems and many are reluctant to talk about their feelings or seek help when they need it.
Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is an excellent resource for young men who are feeling unhappy. As well as their website, CALM also has a helpline (0800 58 58 58).
Talking to someone you trust
If you don't want to speak to someone on a helpline, you could talk to:
a member of your family, a friend or someone you trust, such as a teacheryour GP, a mental healthcare professional or another healthcare professionala minister, priest or other type of faith leader
Seeing your GP
It would also help to see your GP. They can advise you about appropriate treatment if they think you have a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety.
Your GP may be able to help you with access to talking therapies. Talking therapies, such as counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), are often used to help people who have suicidal thoughts and usually involve talking about your feelings with a professional.
Helping your child
If you are concerned your child may be feeling suicidal or is self-harming, the following advice may help:
notice when they seem upset, withdrawn or irritableencourage them to talk about their worries, listen to them and help them find their own solutionskeep all medicines locked away, including painkillers such as paracetamolsuggest your child talks to their GP or a counsellor about how they feel

JEFF MCCALL INTERVIEW
My answers to your interview questions below.
Hope that's what you're after?
Jeff.
-------------------------
what inspired you?
I love to sing! It's the one thing that's guaranteed to make me happy,
so I do it often. This got me involved in bands for the first time in
the early 80s, when I eventually joined a synthpop band called Malicieux
Garde. We played together for 6 years, which is when I began writing my
own songs.
I'm a great lover of music and have very broad musical tastes. However,
I always return to may favourite 80s synthpop, and bands like Ultravox,
Depeche Mode, Erasure and Tears For Fears. I get ideas and inspiration
from all the music I listen to that I can make my own and use in my songs.
I had a very long lay-off from music until about 4 years ago when I
started to take guitar lessons. Up until that time I had been totally
self taught and could only strum an acoustic. These lessons rekindled my
desire to begin making music again, and begin writing new material. This
culminated in me releasing my first solo EP in February 2016.
What are your aims?
When I released the EP my thoughts at the time were "What do I do now?
How can I get people to hear this?" That was when I found a whole
community of independent musicians on the internet who were helping each
other to share the skills to promote their music outside of the confines
of the traditional music industry.
As an independent musician, my main aim is to introduce as many people
as I can to my music and grow my audience. I want to build a 'community'
around my music making, involving people in a way they've never
experienced before. I want to give them the access they never get with
mainstream artists. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want them
to become more friends than fans; friends I know and who know me, who
contact each other regularly.
What plans do you have for the future?
I've just released my first album so my main priority at the moment is
to continue to promote that. I'm finding that my creative juices are
flowing well at the moment and I'm writing more new material faster than
I ever have before. I still have a back-catalogue of some great songs
and will release some of them on a second EP in a few months.
However, at the top of my list of plans is playing live again. Now the
album is done I can spend some time developing a set-up that will allow
me to perform this material to an audience. I intend to do some live
streaming gigs online to begin with, but hope to play to a live audience
or two sometime next year.
