About Me
- Joanna Bogle
- 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.
God bless our new Pope Francis

Dear Joanna,
I just watched an interview you gave to the journey home on my iPad. I'm an Irish man living in qld Australia and cannot tell you how wonderful listening to you was. An inspiration your passion and joy in your love for the church. Your deep love for your daddy... I feel compelled to pray for you and your witness, that many others may come to hear your vibrant and eloquent profession of faith.
As one who greatly misses the ruggard beauty of our dear British isles please give my love to her and thank the martyrs for the gift they have given us for mother church.
Peace and joy to you
Mark
