Supporting 'Cycling to Sofia'

Here's an opportunity you can't miss! A chance to give a little and support a great cause, plus possibly win a glass painting worth £300.
Two good friends of mine, Richard and Mark, are about to embark on a great adventure, cycling 1700 miles from Bristol to Sofia in Bulgaria, to raise money to equip a newly built medical centre on behalf of the Bulgarian Partners Trust. They are planning to take 23 days and their route will take them via London, Strasbourg, Vienna, Budapest and Belgrade. Their friend Geoff is driving the support camper van, scouting ahead and preparing meals to keep their energy up! The van will then be donated to the centre after the trip.
Bulgaria is one of the poorest countries in the EU with one in four households living under the poverty line, with no access to basic health care. The Centre will provide warm meals on a daily basis to help fight hunger and improve the health of the local community.
By donating, you can help make a change. It's that simple. And of course you may win my glass painting too!
Some details... The painting, called The Wave, is 27 x 27 cm and is mounted on a white board.
How to donate, follow the link to

For every £5 you donate I will put your name in the hat to win the picture. (Donate £10 and I will enter your name twice etc...)
Please make sure you leave your name when you donate and check Facebook (Jane Reeves Fused Glass) on the 18 October when I will pick a winner!

'When a man leaves home, he leaves behind some scrap of his heart…it’s the same with a place a man is going to. Only then he sends a scrap of his heart ahead.'

Frederick Beuchner

Well, I'm not entirely sure if that's true... But it does sometimes feel that way. I'm not particularly sentimental, but Italy, well, kind of tugs on the heart.

The warm colours. The sounds, the tastes.

The beauty at every turn, beauty meant, beauty by accident.

I think I was 16 when I went first with my parents. We visited Florence. That was that really. I'm with Frederick.

Here's a taster of four days sunny September days.
