Following the success of these, we are pleased to announce that we [...]
Okay, I know I’m rather slow to ‘catch on’ but I just watched The Blair Witch Project for the first and only time, and I honestly can’t see what all the fuss was about when this hit the cinemas. In fact the ending was so obtuse that I had to google the spoiler so [...]
It’s worse than we first thought, the break in at Church last weekend. Actually, more specifically, it wasn’t a ‘break-in’…in fact the police declared it a very reverant robbery. A friend found the church door ajar (no forced entry) and entering the church found all the cupboard doors in the John Paul II [...]

I’m really struggling with my weight issue right now. I had my asthma review yesterday (so did my son and nurse is happy with us both -hoorah) and I’m on such a lot of medication to try and maintain control of it. I don’t know the extent to which the steroids in [...]
Our friend, Alexa, has an interesting post up about blogging and I find myself agreeing with much of what she has written…. alas the comment box was closed over there and I find my head filled with thoughts that I would have liked to have put out there, so I ‘ll splurge them here [...]
Appetizer Create a new candle scent.
‘Lazy morning in bed’…I wish I could bottle that rare feeling I delight in of not needing to be anywhere, not needing to do anything…just being…I’d light that candle every day, just to remind me that there have been days in my life exactly like that.
SoupName one way you show [...]
By way of Donna.
I thought I’d pop on the computer for 5 mins before I go to bed (Lorna, I’ve made a start on my reflections of the parallels between Isaiah and Jesus Christ….3 sentences!) and I think I just confirmed what I suspected all along, man am I boring!

Guess what, there’s only 61 days to Christmas! I bought the Santa Clause movie on DVD yesterday because it’s my daughter, PrimaDonna’s favourite Christmas movie…mine is Muppets Christmas Carol, followed by a close second of ‘White Christmas’ Ho ho ho. Anyway, that was just me rambling, what I really wanted to show [...]

Valerie that she be blessed and know that she is loved.
Praying for Suzanne’s Son in Law, that he may be completely healed and that he may return to work.
Cat, a long time cyberfriend of mine (who’s URL I have momentarily lost!).
My brother, that he may [...]
Apologies for not having responded to comments or emails over the last couple of days, but I’m running full steam ahead at the moment. Fr. is away on pilgrimage and I’ve got an extra workload of things to do, worse still, the Sacristy got broken into yesterday :-( I don’t have details but [...]
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, “What does love mean?”
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

Please pray for this family in their time of loss and the repose of the soul of their little one, Canon. May God give them comfort and peace.
Here’s my top ten off the top o’ my head…. idea from AutumnRose
My babies (aged eleven and almost fifteen).
My parents ( ever youthful of mind).
My parish community (they continually surprise me with their warmth and generosity)
The faith that my pastor has in me, the encouragement he gives me and the opportunities he gives me in [...]

What is your favourite beverage?
Y’know, considering I’m a Brit, I don’t blog overboard about all things British….every now and then, however, something comes to my attention that I simply can not resist posting about. O happy day, Twinings have a new tea called ‘Everyday’.
No longer will I be a devotee of Ty-phoo or PG Tips…nope, [...]
some of the wrapped and filled shoe boxes we did
As you may have read here before, I’m the secretary of our parish’s Union of Catholic Mothers and one of the things I suggested to kick start our foundations charitable endeavours, was for us to take part in the Shoe Box Appeal .

I’ve just got home and was all revved up to write a post but it’ll have to wait till tomorrow because it’s late at night and I’m shattered, instead I just wanted to let you know that I’ve installed a new ‘chat box’ facility in the left hand column. If you want to [...]
“Only one of the ancient wonders of the world still survives — now history lovers are being invited to choose a new list of seven.
Among 21 locations shortlisted for the worldwide vote is Stonehenge, the only British landmark selected.
The 5,000-year-old stones on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, will be up against sites including [...]
Every Monday, after dropping the children off at school I go and clean at my uncle’s house. Today was no exception, except that something unexpected happened. While cleaning his bathroom sink I took out the fitted plug which left the drainpipe exposed, and proceeded to unscrew the bleach bottle to pour bleach down [...]
I didn’t get to meet with the Bishop tonight because I had to stay home, but I did have a fabulous day out with my Mum and daughter. We browsed the Christmas department at Bridgemere, had a lovely lunch out, bought a basket full of fabulous craft materials….
and spent hours making these to sell [...]
I’m off to the garden centre today. It’s going to be a girls day out, I’m picking Mum up and then together with my daughter and I we are heading off to Bridgemere Garden World. But I’m not looking for plants or flowers today, I’m going on a mission to buy craft materials [...]
