    christmas

    I totally agree @Lynx and @ThereRoseaLamb - we humans have too much 'stuff' and it gets in the way of the spiritual and what is truly important. My husband and I give each other presents but we tell everyone else - including our children - to donate to charity we do the same. We buy for the...

    That's a wonderful idea for a thread! I think my story may be of interest so I will try to gather my thoughts together and write something.

    Advertising and Christmas

    Yes I agree we've rolled over in Britain and let the Muslims take control. Islam is not tolerant or peaceful and doesn't accept other religions or viewpoints. We have up to 40,000 mostly young men - mainly Muslim - arriving every year by boats and the socialist government does absolutely...

    Advertising and Christmas

    I love Christmas and rejoicing at the birth of Christ our Saviour and did once live in a Christian country where even non-believers joined in with our great Christian traditions but now the country is apparently 'multi-cultural' and other faiths are given at least equal weight which has meant...

Our eldest son used to smother ketchup on everything which I hated. I think mustard with ham, mint sauce with...

    Traditional Wedding Vows

    Hi, just a quick one from me today as I was talking about this with a friend in church earlier today who was surprised I had agreed to traditional wedding vows.

    My husband and retirement issues.

    Yes its difficult to compare the two countries but unfortunately Britain is not the country is was, church attendances are down and I see it in our church with the congregations getting older. I do admire the fact America maintains its Christian values and traditions and they are part of...

    My husband and retirement issues.

    Ah PAC-fit, yes, I think I get you now, sorry a bit slow! We’ve watched Escape to the Country many times too and, yes, life outside the big cities can be really lovely. My husband was raised in the village where we live now (we were able to buy quite a large house there ourselves when we...
