Incidentally, this morning I linked to your item on Gallipoli on ES's comment about the age of the midshipmen. This was connected to a photo of a press cutting from 1852.
Thank you Demetrius. I was going to comment at your place earlier but on the iPad I have to go through the rigmarole of signing in and decided I'd wait until I get to the big machine.
Scots are abandoning Christ and seeking solace in Buddha statues, "healing crystals", spiritualism, "spiritual" incense and all sorts of things to try and satisfy the gaping hole in their soul. I know; I'm in the giftware market too nowadays - not that I stock this stuff...
I'd agree with you Stewart. The churches have made a real hash of things in the past 40+ years. Such a shame because they did have a lot to offer and if only they'd modernised. That phrase ' if only' again.
Thank you for the mention :)

ReplyDeleteMac, I have very happy memories of that song and driving to work with Terry Wogan twittering away.
