Eating lunch at the Olive Branch – Greek Taverna and Coffee Shop, Aberystwyth. A variety of Greek dips with bread. Very yummy. I’d go again, it was really good.

Drawing the line – ‘Somewhere’,

I couldn’t decide what to call this post, as it could so easily have been ‘you couldn’t make it up’. On Sunday morning while preparing the veg for dinner I normally listen to the tortuous BBC Radio 4 Sunday broadcast. The purpose of listening is to have some sort of idea what’s going on in [...]
Out for lunch at Hilltop Farm

Just out having lunch at Hilltop Farm. Very nice. A beautiful day. This was on Saturday but for some reason the pictures didn’t upload from my phone. So here they are: A Beautiful day but still a bit chilly outside for the Mother-in-law! Here’s my Buffalo Burger – [...]
Dawkins Anger – an explanation
Posted in Culture, Gospel, Just Stuff, tagged Belief, Gospel, Grace, Interesting Stuff, Jesus Christ, Richard Dawkins on March 13, 2012 | 1 Comment »
I have no idea if Richard Dawkins is an angry man all the time, but he seems to be when it comes to Christianity. I’d like to think that he’s actually a nice bloke – maybe he is. An idea popped into my head about why he seems to be particularly angry at Christians. This [...]
‘Against All Odds’ by Paul Connolly
Posted in Books, Culture, Gospel, Just Stuff, The Bible, tagged Belief, Books, Gospel, Grace, Jesus Christ, Reading on February 15, 2012 | 3 Comments »
I’ve just finished reading ‘Against All Odds’ by Paul Connolly - Kindle edition. It’s quite a brave book to write, it’s honestly written and pulls no punches (pun intended). The early chapters are quite a harrowing account of life in an institution till he was forced to leave at the age of 17. Paul was abandoned at [...]

You’ve seen those Kindle things – all over the place they are. I’ve kind of looked at them. Well, now I have one. My kids clubbed together to buy one for Christmas. Not ever really thinking about buying one, it was s bit of a surprise and the thought ran through my mind – will [...]
Goodbye old faithful
Posted in Just Stuff, tagged Coffee filter, Just Stuff on December 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Christmas is a time for new things – and sometimes out with the old. Today I put into the bin our old Filter Coffee Maker . This was bought as a wedding present for us just over 28 years ago by my Best Man (Thanks Mike) and wife. My default is to try to fix things. [...]

And Thy Years Shall not Fail – a Christmas Reflection – Mail Online – Peter Hitchens blog. It’s from a few days ago but still worth a read.
Christopher Hitchens

I was very saddened to hear of the death of Christopher Hitchens. His atheism was well documented, being one of the New Atheistic ’Four Horsemen’ in contrast to his brother Peter. I had only heard a couple of his debates and read some of his articles but he did strike me as a courteous yet fierce opponent. He wiped the floor in [...]
Happy Thanksgiving

It’s a bit late in the day but I didn’t want to go to bed without wishing family and friends in the US (and American family here as well!) a Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving. There’s much to be thankful for. Amen.
End of a Cinematic Era

I knew it was going to be demolished but driving past the old Granada (Plaza) Cinema today and seeing a massive hole in the side of the building made me realise it was the end of an era. Back in my childhood and through my late teens watching a film at the Granada was a [...]
Blast from the Past

I suppose Blogging if we’re honest has some element of self-promotion to it. I try to keep it to a minimum but thought the following pictures may amuse or even surprise. The quality is not that brilliant, but anyway have look. My daughter scanned the first one and called it scary dad. I’d been a [...]
Shopping for Religion

Took this picture in a well known supermarket. This is just one row of four. I noticed a magazine for just about anything. A bit like shopping for a religion. In fact there are probably more religions!
