Iraq this dire war

I have been thinking of my thoughts on this
abysmal war....
I did not agree with the concept when we went in!
It should have been sorted over Kuwait over 10 yrs
ago....
We reap what we sow don't we?
The situation is just getting worse & worse....
Our top milatary commander has finaly spoken out!
Most people agree with him....
Still many of our young men are there....
I was concerned at the time that 'no forward
planning had been given to it!' ie civilians children
etc.,'
As usual the politicians .us. with respect...
Had thought it would be ' in & out'...
I was in the .us. in the late 60's and well
remember the Vietnam situation.... like many
Americans do!
I pray we will pull out as soon as possible....
How naive was that!
I know it is easy for us all to reflect after the situation.....
Although we value our friendship with the .us.
Our culture & values are quite different...
Things are not as black & white as they suppose
Can I use that term in this terrible pc society.....
For one thing :we don't have the death penalty...
our judicial system tends to be less severe along with prisons etc.,
Enough of my thoughts on it!
Only God can help in this terrible situation.....

A Friend

While walking in our town I met a
young man who was giving out
mags for a project in various places...
He turned out to be Isralie...
we went for a coffee & chat...
He is now in Mozambique with a
programme...
The sit appears quite dire..
He is also learning Potugese.
Please remember Daniel in your
Prayers...
Such a lovely young man....
If you would care for more info
on this project:
Please e/mail me:

Today

Today I slept late......
when I looked out of the door...
The rain was torrential but very warm for the uk....
They say with global warming we are to become subtropical....
Since illnesses I just feel so tired mentaly phisically & spiritualy.....
The gas fire I am still reacting to this allergies'...
Even though we have had it cleaned...
I understand you can react to the nitrous oxide on the open ones with coals....
So it has had to go....
I broke down and wept...
I feel so guilty about these allergies....
It looks so nice too.
We have a heater in one of the bedrooms we will have to bring that down..
To use we hope to have central heating in for the spring....
Just another winter....
The house is really too large for us now...
But I can't face downsizing...
I think I lack faith on it!
Just have to cope....
Am just doing 2 loads of washing.....
The rain has stopped still it has done the garden good!
Will sign off now as I have quite a lot to do!

Our holiday the Retreat and Welsh scenes.....






Past Times



Bronte Country

When I came to live in Yorkshire:
My mother was really thrilled. As
I only lived a few miles from
Haworth. Home of the 'Brontes'.
I don't know if it was due to the novels
But when we got there Haworth was
really not bleak and wild...
Yes the moors were. One could almost
imagine Heathcliffe ambling along.
But Haworth itself was thronged with
visitors world wide. The parsonage
and church being part of the village itself....
A lot to enjoy on this website......
