Alcoholism

I went to a funeral the other day of an ex work colleague. Alcohol was the cause of her death and she is the third one of my friends who has died of this cause. Anyone who tries to tell me that drinking in moderation is ok is deceiving themselves because the quantity drunk is not [...]

Over the next few days we will have some visitors in the village from communist China. I have volunteered to take them out on a couple of afternoons so decided that one trip will be Anglezarke, Rivington and back over Belmont. That should give them a taste of our wonderful countryside. I hope to tell [...]
Christmas Tree

Bonfire fireworks

Discovered a wonderful supplier of fireworks in Lancaster the other day called “Astounded”. They couldn’t have been more helpful and were able to give me a history of the various manufacturers. They explained what each firework would do and made very helpful suggestions about what would work best. They even numbered the fireworks so that [...]
Unwanted Adverts

Perhaps I’m being unreasonable but I have a problem with unwanted adverts appearing on my blog. What happens if an advert appears which is not compatible with my Christian views.
