‘As useful as a chocolate teapot!'

I’m a chocolate teapot looking swell; but for tea I’m useless – heat will tell! Collapsing in hot water – I will keep cool and idle, or I’m soon a...

Pilate’s Quandary

Posted on Thu, 02 Dec 2021

The sleekness of ash tree branches is so lovely, isn't it? and their lovely greyness with the black buds. Is it meant to be moonsliver or moonsliver? Rhiannnon

I'm sorry, Di. I don't know how I missed this series! My concentrarion isn't too good at present.

I like the contrast of the emptiness of baubles with real fruit decorating trees. Does the  'unput' refer to that human hands haven't been...

So much confusion and mix-up

Posted on Wed, 17 Nov 2021

So much confusion and mix-up and antagonism, and the ceremonials that cloud the issues of salvation by faith in what the Son was sent to do. But much in the way of kindness and peaceful living and patience in ill health. As usual, I would love to...
