Posted on Sun, 05 Jul 2020

Hilary, it puzzles me the convictions that there is no proof so we all are left to our desires and feelings. Actually those desires are presumably rooted in the fact that we were created to know God who made us with a knowledge of him and a sense...

Posted on Wed, 24 Jun 2020

Thank you, Jenny. I do like our 'wildflower' lawns, as long as they don't get too out of control. The Cat's Ears did get a bit too thick and tall! I love the variety of flowers you can get in a small patch, and of leaf shapes, and different years...

My mother-in-law (100!) is in a care home, and visitors aren't able to go in. She can't hear much, and we were concerned she would be very disturbed, not understanding, and as she had seemed very dependant on our visits. She can't hear well on...
