The Final Edit

The Home of Shehaios Posted on March 20, 2020 by Sue RuleMarch 20, 2020

News on the next two-volume story in the Shaihen Heritage series, ‘Leaving on the Tide’ and ‘The Hills of Gold’ is that I’ve done two or three passes through both books now, and I think I’m nearly ready to commit … Continue reading →

Empowerment and Freedom

The Home of Shehaios Posted on February 15, 2020 by Sue RuleFebruary 16, 2020

All my adult life, I’ve loved British folk music. As a teenager, I loved the robust choruses of the MacAlmans and the Corries. I rapidly fell for the fantasy of Steeleye Span, re-imagining the old ballads to a driving rock … Continue reading →

Keep the faith

The Home of Shehaios Posted on January 16, 2020 by Sue RuleJanuary 16, 2020

So here’s my prediction. In time – not quite sure how long, maybe twenty years, maybe fifty – human civilisation will transition to more localised, less monetary, economies, with a minimal, high-level international connection. How much international connection we retain, … Continue reading →

Songs and Poems

The Home of Shehaios Posted on January 1, 2020 by Sue RuleJanuary 1, 2020

I have been looking back through some of my past scribblings this Christmas. I wrote the following poem some time in the late 1980s/early 1990s, when my children were young. It’s never been published or performed, no-one’s ever read it … Continue reading →

Defeat – Regroup

The Home of Shehaios Posted on December 17, 2019 by Sue RuleDecember 17, 2019

So the view from Rosehaugh today is beautiful. The sun is shining, and the loch reflects a patchwork of white clouds and blue sky. There was a flock of gulls wheeling about high over the water, screeching and bickering, as … Continue reading →

When Love Came Back to Judge Us

The Home of Shehaios Posted on December 3, 2019 by Sue RuleDecember 3, 2019

There are two things you traditionally do not talk about in polite company. Religion and politics.  I’m finding that a bit of a struggle at the moment, because as I said in an earlier blog post, these are two big … Continue reading →

System Change

The Home of Shehaios Posted on September 1, 2019 by Sue RuleSeptember 1, 2019

The second draft of Leaving On The Tide (Book 4 of the Shaihen Heritage series) is complete. It’s out with a small team of beta readers for a verdict – if they think it’s worth it, I’ll start on the … Continue reading →

Sue’s Manifesto For Change

The Home of Shehaios Posted on September 1, 2019 by Sue RuleSeptember 1, 2019

If we are to heal the wounds of Brexit and change society for the better we need to start by preparing the soil. Only then can we expect healthy shoots to flourish and prosper.  Citizen Empowerment For too long, power … Continue reading →

A Poem for Brexit

The Home of Shehaios Posted on August 11, 2019 by Sue RuleAugust 11, 2019

Those who know me will be very well aware that I am deeply opposed to Britain leaving the EU. I have sleepless nights worrying about the impending catastrophe about to hit my country – especially at the point where we … Continue reading →

Freedom’s Just Another Word

The Home of Shehaios Posted on June 22, 2019 by Sue RuleJune 22, 2019

I read an amusing quote on Facebook the other day, apparently from Somerset Maugham. When it comes to writing a novel, he said, there are three rules. Unfortunately, no-one knows what they are. I’m sure people write for all sorts … Continue reading →

The View From Rosehaugh

A Journal of life, music, politics, writing, and anything else that comes to mind, by S.A. Rule.

  • WEIRDness and Evolution

    Last Christmas, I was given a book with the snappy title, ‘The Weirdest People in the World: How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous’. The author, Joseph Henrich, is an anthropologist and chair of the Department of Human …Keep Reading »
  • Musings on the nation state

    Nearly all of us hold a special place in our hearts for the land where we were born and raised. That is a normal, human, positive connection to the Earth and our place on it, which can inspire us to …Keep Reading »
  • Freedom, self-determination and belonging

    Freedom is a philosophical concept that politicians and lay-people like myself would do well to tread warily around. Wild animals are not “free”, they are wild. They concern themselves with the basics of living – feeding, sleeping and reproducing. When …Keep Reading »
  • The Trouble with Money

    It’s very welcome to find world leaders finally talking seriously about climate change, but I wonder how far any of them understand the scale of the change we need to make. The climate crisis has arisen from decades of false …Keep Reading »
  • Shaihen Heritage: The Executive Summary

    I was challenged the other day to summarise the insights, in terms of re-shaping economics, that I gained from writing the Shaihen Heritage series. That’s quite an ask – but I gave it a go. The books are my own …Keep Reading »
