So, from my perspective as I sit here on a Sunday afternoon still enjoying the memories of the holiday that I have recently had. We have the following world situation: # Israel is using the excuse or 'code' of getting rid of Hamas to destroy and displace Palestinians. Prematurely, Israel have sold oil and gas rights for drilling including one sold to the father in law of our UK Prime Minister...

Our Men's Group breakfast meeting in Frome Once every couple of months or so I go along to the nearest men's group I can find. We meet either for breakfast,  curry evenings or Zoom meetings.    About a dozen of us met this morning  in Holy Trinity Church braving the semi-darkness, the frost and the fog.   We had a splendid fried breakfast cooked by a very obliging volunteer which included my...

Our last morning We had to get up for a 7.15 breakfast and from thence to the coach where our baggage was arranged according to the town at which we were going to be dropped off.

Enthusiasm comes...
