His Majesty

I may choose to be a loner, I may hide my past and plans; but I can’t flee my Creator, every inmost thought … Power and love of God consider, when you feel he does not care; he alone wise help can render, strength renew: persist in prayer.

The Impossible Move

They seem to think life started in the sea – somehow, but plants appeared on land, and then – unplanned some moving creatures in the water thought...

What a lovely little inciden

Posted on Fri, 27 Mar 2015

What a lovely little inciden capturedt! Was it a green woodpecker? I gather they do hammer sometime but my husband used to tell me, if it's the hammering you hear, then it's the greater spotted. He keeps having to turn my attention to it anyway,...

Posted on Mon, 09 Feb 2015

I can only say, how compassionate and caring the staff are where my father-in-law is. (and it is just a basic nursing home, largely council funded, they have recently introduced a very minimal top-up and of course there is always means testing)....
