Just been reading your blog and it really cheered me up.Had a rather dispiriting day because media here all shrieking about the “gay adoption” issue – on which our Bishops have been taking a clear and good stand, which is excellent and I am glad to stand with them….. but the whole topic is such a sordid one and it is just so horrid thinking of ordinary families up and down the land having this subject at tea-time!It really did me good to read your description of the March for Life!Pray for Britain tonight – just at the moment it seems an oddly sad little country….and yet the London suburbs are so endearing in slushy snow….Joanna
“Bless the hands that have repaired this foodI must tell my children this – I think they may be of the opinion that the meals I serve really are in need of ‘fixing’ to make them more palatable!
