Ok so I go every year to the carol service, and every year I remember why I struggled to be a Christian when I was younger. However I don’t think that my parents are going to invite me along next year, to the dim and dreary, slightly dismal service that is the new vicars excuse … Read More
Christmas Eve, a traditional one: my last minute shopping mad dash around Grimsby as I realise that my sister will hate what I’ve got her; desperately trying to find which shop stocks Matey Bubblebath for her stocking (she is a creature of habit and will complain if these habits are ignored she will be ANNOYED!);my … Read More
