Over the past few weeks I have used the fruits of the Spirit as a theme for my TFTDs. After I had completed the last one on love this photo popped on my Instagram account – this makes me sound far more tech savvy than I am! Instagram is a way of instantly sharing photos…
As I write this TFTD the news is full of accounts of rioting in various towns and cities in the UK (excluding Scotland). This all started when false information was disseminated Online about the perpetrator of the murder of three innocent girls attending what should have been a fun dance class in Southport. On Sunday…
I’ve recently been looking at the collection of professional photographs that were taken at my son’s wedding in June. They capture so much of that day, sun and showers, preparation inside and out, smiles, laughter, joy and most obviously love. That love was obvious between Tom and Hannah, but also between their friends and family.…
If you follow any news channel or newspaper you will not have failed to learn of the news of an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, the death of a supporter and critical injury of two others.

Those of you who have read previous TFTDs that I have submitted will know that my son has a dog named Bill, who we are often called upon to look after. Three weeks ago we were reeling (some people were) from England having been defeated by Spain in the Football European Championships. My son flew…

When I was at school one of my friends lived on a farm in the middle of Dartmoor. I often used to go and spend the weekend at her house. As I lived on the edge of the city, I found the complete darkness at night quite spooky, and waking up to find a cow…
Continuing on the theme of the fruits of the Spirit, I was reminded of kindness through the simple acts of a local lady just a few weeks back. I had the unfortunate luck to be involved in a minor road traffic accident in May. Having been knocked off my bike I came to sitting on…
Having read the TFTD of 19th June I was inspired to continue on with the theme of the fruits of the Spirit. This is my local take on generosity. I was made acutely aware of the generosity of so many people last weekend. A year ago I, foolishly, offered to host my son’s wedding celebration…
