Christian men’s group in Frome – and the forthcoming weekend

Yesterday evening, Thursday, I attended with 23 other men a talk about God and chaos at the Rugby Football club in Frome. It was a so called curry evening prepared by a very good cook who offered a mild chicken curry laced with coconut milk. Delicious. He got a round of applause at the end. The speaker was James Carey. He earns most of his living income from writing comedy scripts for the BBC...

A day of unexpected lessons

09.00 To the men's Christian group in Wetherspoons. For various reason there were only two of us there but we had a good 50 minute conversation. I realized (again) that I am sensitive to the openness and the ability to listen of others. When the channels are open I am inspired to bring forth all sorts of ideas that I did not know 'I' had. I also get images which I pass on in good faith to the...

We went in the restaurant briefly and had a look at the menu and found that...

A lovely gardening job

Last night I went to a talk by the head keeper at Wells Cathedral Gardens. Normally, a 90 minute slide show would have bored me to death but the voice of the speaker was energizing and enthusiastic so I stayed with it mentally for the duration. We were taken through the history of the cathedral since the 12th century and the modern history of the redesigning of the gardens. ************** It is...
