Remember, remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why the gunpowder treason, Should ever be forgot. Anon Funny how things go out of fashion and then suddenly they’re right back in. I’ve been cringing at the 90s fashion trends that have been back in. It’s the first time I’ve…

These blogs are topical, newsworthy blogs.
Jesus, the Church and BLM
#BlackLivesMatter has been a giant movement – one that is overdue, and has been overlooked for so long. I’ve had the intention to write something about this, but I’ve been torn. I’ve posted a few things on my Instagram account, to show my allyship but when it came to writing a blog, I’ve hesitated. I…
Coronavirus coping mechanisms
So how are you coping with this new normal? Have you come to terms with what the implications of what this means? I haven’t, and I’m willing to wager you haven’t either. I’m a really lucky person. I work for an organisation which didn’t instantly lay-off most of it’s staff, and was able to set…
Commitment, Devotion and the Royal WeddingÂ
Come on – who watched the Royal Wedding over the weekend? I’ll fully admit I’m a bit of a Royalist and I love that Harry has meant someone tenacious as well as beautiful – the new generation of Royals are shaping up well! The best part of the ceremony was the message delivered by Bishop…
Together, Stronger
That’s the Welsh tagline for the 2016 Euros: Together Stronger. I used the hashtag during both of Wales’ games so far – as well as #BaleYouBeauty – but what we’ve seen in the world in the past few days, weeks and months perhaps shows us something else. The UK is currently divided, next week we…
When God Speaks
I was expectant this weekend for God to move. I was, after all, going to a conference called YA MOVEMENT, so I can’t be criticised too much for having that expectancy! On Friday night I would say I was stirred, but not moved. I could sense God wanted to speak, but there was a barrier…
Hell no H20!
Today the water ‘problem’ in Preston has come to a close. Last week, the water straight from the tap became drinkable again, but today a letter dropped onto my doormat from United Utilities with a compensation cheque in it. I want to stick my oar in and let you know my thoughts…
Short Skirts and Tight Tops
I just stumbled across an article about a head teacher in the Isle of Wight who has introduced a school rule of “skirts no shorter than knee length“. It appears he also had words with his female staff about the tightness of their tops. He’s by no means sexist… Dr Rory Fox simply explains that…
It really grinds my gears…
I’m in a ranting mood once again today. This time it’s about an email I received this morning. I receive lots of emails from different groups who put pressure on government to make changes. Most of them I agree with, that’s why I get emails. I’m not very active in changing my government, which is…
“I Love My Curves!” Says the size 10 girl…
So it’s all over the internet. Amy Childs is so happy because she has curves and she loves them. She used to be size 6 and now she’s size 10 on top and size 8 on bottoms. I’m sorry, but can we NOT advertise that as a happy, healthy body for girls to aspire to?…
