Radlett and St. Albans ~ the heart of Herts!
Spending the weekend down south in Radlett, Herts visiting old family friends, Fred and Sheila, it’s quite a place – and they’re quite some friends, known ’em all m’life! Got here yesterday Saturday, early afternoon just as the synagogue worship was finishing and everyone was streaming out onto the main street. Seems that in the 2011 census, 28.3% of the town identified themselves as Jewish….. I even had time to check out Christ Church, Radlett which was having a fun day for Brownies…. well they all looked happy enough! And this morning a few miles up the road to St. Albans for … Continue reading Radlett and St. Albans ~ the heart of Herts!

Autumn on Winder…
This week in Sedbergh, Cumbria – where autumn has arrived, leaves are falling off all the trees and berries appearing on the bushes, the sun comes out for a while and goes in again pretty quick, and I take the chance of a break in the clouds to go up Winder, the little hill above the town…. it’s a great place! Ah, Autumn on Winder – beautiful! Continue reading Autumn on Winder…
The Devil’s Punchbowl ~ yep it’s a real place!
What a place! Down in deepest Surrey, far from the madding crowd…. found myself there yesterday for all of 5 minutes ~ and the sun was out ‘n it was stunning! It’s rather disturbing name turns out to be the stuff of lots of legends, and the one promoted at the site is that the Devil, in his spare time, hurled lumps of earth at the god Thor to annoy him. The hollow he scooped the earth out of became the Punch Bowl. The local village of Thursley means Thor’s place…. A must-see kind of place – what a view! Continue reading The Devil’s Punchbowl ~ yep it’s a real place!
Ah London ~ so much to see, so little time!
My first day back in the UK with a long list of things to do, including the major excitement of laminating the group photo of last month’s House of Bishops in Taiwan – so with that excuse and clutching my large rolled-up photo, off I go to the big city! Underground train to London Bridge and a walk along Tooley Street to Tower Bridge, and London City Mission – when I lived there many years ago, it was well, like not exactly the highest class area of London – now though the area is all done up, and the old derelict wharves … Continue reading Ah London ~ so much to see, so little time!
Only a week ago,

London, ah, London!
Taiwan to UK and now back again…. via London of course ~ and what a great city, though sadly there’s never ever enough time! So only for a few hours on my way here, there and everywhere…. And back to Taiwan last night ~ thanking you all for your prayers and support! Continue reading London, ah, London!
