Isn't it curious how those most willing to cite the oppressive behaviours of the Iranian Regime as justification for the war, weren't that keen on granting sanctuary and asylum to those who've fled that same regime in recent years due to that same oppression?

I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week

My biggest regret in life is returning the copy of "Just War" I borrowed from Knutsford Library as a teenager...

My message to kids these days? Never return your library books, one day they might be worth something...😁

I found a lovely copy of The Wheel In Space Target for about £2.50 in a second hand bookshop in Brighton years ago. Completed my Target collection as result..

...I say "completed", that was before they brought out the new ones...

Welsh Cakes

Welsh Cakes

Yesterday was quite packed, so the #StDavidsDay #WelshCakes are translated to this morning.

Unfortunately we were out of currants and sultanas so, like some sort of trendy hipster, I've substituted for cranberries and goji berries.
