I have had an idea Auntie Joanna. A while back the goverment wanted to ban "hoddies" the tracksuit tops young people wear with their baseball caps to scare people. Why not have "Burka" week. Everyone could dress in black head gear and cover there faces ask not to be looked at and not require to remove it for the Police or Airport security.Think what madness this would cause.It,s a funny old world. Labour this present Goverment"are they nuts".I think they are. Direction on Faith in this Country should come from the Church of England with input from similar faiths like ours and others of Christian doctrine. more and more a sad decline is happening and values are being abused.I live happy with Muslin neighbours but at this time we are a Christian country with our values.
Auntie has learned, with mingled pleasure and amusement, that her Blog annoys some people, especially angry dogmatic ones, and entertains and encourages others of a gentler sort. This has confirmed her decision to continue blogging although Auntie's life is busy and she has duties and responsibilities which on the whole she knows to be of more importance.
Auntie enjoys (although not neccesarily in this order)her work (writer, biographer, historian) and domestic duties, academic studies(Maryvale Institute), family, friends, and community responsibilities. She relishes the new translation of the Mass, the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, her own excellent local Catholic parish, traditional hymns (especially, perhaps, Anglican ones) rain, good literature, sleep, the English coast, Autumn, buttered toast, and a number of other things too precious and important to list here. She feels priviledged to belong to a Church which produced John Paul II and Benedict XVI and she finds their teachings an inspiration.
