There's not much that my entire family agrees on these days. But this video made every single one of us laugh until we nearly wet our pants last night. Even the cat came to see what all the fuss was about.

GARDEN SONG - CLARE & MICAH HAYNS Home is where I am who I really am. The outside world rarely sees me like my family. At home I am relaxed which means at times being short tempered, selfish and outwork all my frustrations and wearine...

Boris Johnson blames the Church of England for obesity crisis Boris Johnson said religious leaders should address ‘spiritual void’ rather than going on about slavery reparations

So Boris thinks obesity is the fault of vicars in the @churchofengland - I must have missed that bit in my ordination vows! There’s much to accuse us of at present, but I suggest not this.

I can’t describe how sad I am about this assisted dying debate. Maybe because I sit with the dying in hospices and know what a good death can look like. I understand the feelings and views of the other side, I really do. But this legislation feels rushed and brutal to me.

A group of us spend Thursday lunchtime with @clarehayns.bsky.social ‘s Unveiled: Women of the Old Testament and the Choices they Made. Always thought-provoking.

Ahh..these are my favourite women of the book!

How wonderful!!
