Just back from a quiz.

One of the questions was: 'In which country is the Dome of the Rock?'

Tonight the answer was Israel / Palestine.

It struck me as marking a change of mood.

Just been looking at my statutory credit report from Experian - it makes for interesting reading - I had no idea that every time you get an insurance quote online it is recorded as a soft search on your credit file...

I quite enjoy Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, but did he write about any other pizzas?

Contemplating the interesting opportunities and challenges that we have as a parish church, a civic church and a tourist attraction.
