Oh to be as intelligent and eloquent as Mr Fry. There must be millions, including me, a lapsed Catholic, who concur with him and it really is about time the Catholic church at least dipped a toe into the 21st centruy. This is supported by the result of the debate where Mssrs Fry and Hitchens absolutely annihilated Ann Widdecombe (bless) and Nigerian Archbishop Onaiyekan, who were tasked to defend the motion 'that The Catholic Church is a force for good in the world'.
Hi Chris, good to talk again. Thanks for explaining the background to his presentation. It's difficult to see the Catholic Church do anything other than sink into the mire unless they get a grip and join in with the rest of the world.
Jan and I moved from England to France in July 2002 and then, in February 2011, after nearly 9 great years in France we have moved to North Yorkshire, England, to be nearer to my ageing mother.
The move to France was primarily motivated by the opportunity to, 'have an adventure', after our children had flown the nest.
Well now the adventure continues. After six years back in England our delightful Beauceron Max has died and leaves a confused Minnie who has only ever known her beloved companion . She is a Beauceron, a large but very congenial, French breed of sheep dog.
By a total coincidence my mother told Jan that North Yorkshire, Ripon, is where I was conceived. Frankly, a bit too much information but it just goes to show that what goes around comes around.
This journal reflects the thoughts, likes, dislikes, fantasies and observations of our latest life in Yorkshire, for me, Jan, Minnie and my alter ego Ed.
