Hello fellow crusaders,

I luv to share my daily riots. My days are crafted like sculptures – everything is planned.

Stephen, Cathy and their family decided to move from Leeds in the UK to start a new life in Tenerife after a series of unrelated events caused them to stop and reassess what they were doing in life.  After just over 6 years of ups and downs, they are still (relatively) happy with their new lives at The Beach in Tenerife.

Days can be very different since we moved from the UK to one of the Canary Islands in 2003.  They certainly are greatly changed from typical UK based days!

Dawn currently works for a large defense contractor in the United States. Her past work experiences involved education and working in the legal field as a paralegal. But, her real passion resides in the health and fitness industry. She’s taking her passion to a blog and has just started writing at HealthyFitLifestyle.com. She’s a proponent of alternative health, how the mind, body and spirit are interrelated and keeping the body fit and youthful as we age.

I woke up early today, 4:55 AM, as I do each work day to go to work in an industry that swallows most of my day. I'm a reluctant early riser and always have been. But, I could stay up all night easily.  That may be part of my problem.

Will Carling is a former captain of the England Rugby team, and arguably the most successful, as well as being the youngest ever. He now runs his very successful rugby based website www.rucku.com as well as a corporate hospitality business in partnership with his wife Lisa.  He is a well known UK celebrity and appears on television and radio frequently.

Our bedroom door is usually barged open by our eight year old at 7o’clock sharp! ‘Can I go downstairs?’ is the usual start to my day! He heads off and I listen out to hear if he calls to tell me the cats have left a ‘mouse’ present or not! Always nice cleaning up what’s left of a mouse/ bird or rabbit ! I then make my wife Lisa a cup of tea, she is quite particular about her tea, so it has become quite a ceremony!

Alison Kerr is an inhabitant of our green Earth. She lives in suburban eastern Kansas, USA with her husband, two teenage kids, and two strange but loveable cats. Alison writes at Loving Nature's Garden where she shares her joy of nature, gardening, good food, and the connections between us all on this beautiful green Earth.

I open my eyes. It's morning, but I'd rather sleep longer. I pick up a library book "50 Ways to Live the Good Life". I like this one. My husband is going out for the day. Out into the Kansas woods. I get out of bed. I try to wake up. I don't drink coffee - many days it takes a while. I check my e-mail and Twitter. I fix some food for my husband to take out with him. He can do it himself, but I like to do that for him.

Victoria Twead nagged her long-suffering partner, Joe, into moving from England to Spain in 2004. They settled into a tiny mountain village in Andalucía, became reluctant chicken farmers and ended up owning probably the most dangerous cockerel in Spain. Victoria’s hilarious record of their culture shock and life with the villagers is told in her new book, Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools, awarded the HarperCollins Gold Star.

It’s always Geronimo’s mule that wakes us up. The mule has a girlfriend in the next village and he insists on serenading her at daybreak. The cockerels then join in, first one, then all of them, each trying to out-crow the other.
