RE vs RI

In my own school life, RE (Religious Education) turned into RI (Religious Instruction) I had a beautiful RE teacher at QEGS. She was married to the Chemistry Teacher. Both of them despaired of me. Bunsen Burners were the best fun we had in the Chem Lab :o) My point – Why did Education turn into […]

Cow & Chicken

Way back when my boys were younger and we had only one Sky TV stream coming into the house – me and eldest would do the usual telly box war. Fastest finger on the box thing! Him upstairs. Me downstairs. I won quite a lot but always gave in when Cow & Chicken came on. […]

Nard

Spikenard is mentioned in the Bible being used for its fragrance. While the king is at his table, my spikenard sends forth its fragrance. A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, that lies all night between my breasts. My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms in the vineyards of En Gedi. I’ve been studying Aromatherapy […]

Arthur Guirdham’s CATHAR Cross

I read Arthur Guirdham’s work decades ago. Whilst I’m not 100% convinced about the Past Life Regressions Stories in this book, the history that’s revealed started my own fascination with the Cathars and the Albigensian Crusades. “Kill Them All. God Will Know His Own,” said the Papal Legate before they massacred thousands of people. Simon […]

As Above, So Below : Theory

I have this overwhelming need to disentangle the oft quoted saying – As Above, So Below. But it’s doing my head in because sometimes numbers DO LIE! It all depends on the source. My little theory is that the ABOVE is not only reflected here below, but also below the below. I’m so enmeshed in […]

Back With the Food

No Apologies – except to my kids! I watched this video a couple of weeks back, described it and promised to cook it soon. Ooops. Got side-tracked by puppy dog :o( Anyhoo. I’ve done pulled pork many times in the Aga (Rayburn.) Once I put it in the bottom plate warmer overnight with a little […]
