Prince Andrew is arrested

​That’s not even the real news. 


My Mr Spangle has died. The cancy wancy got him. But even so, rather suddenly in the night. His work emailed. 

Unbelievably I was in the escape lounge on my way to Florence. My daughter and I were going there (her idea) for a February break. 

I told Mr Spangle and he was so excited for us. Told us where to eat and what to enjoy.

He advised us against going to Rome. We went. It’s a separate post. 

Today is Maundy Thursday - I will write more for Lent.

Have given up social media.

In a way a lot has happened 

In another way, not so much. My life will never be the same without my lovely Graffy Spangle but hopefully I will keep his memory alive and living in today’s world. 

We’ll see what happens with Prince Andrew something to do with sharing security secrets years ago. I heard they are destroying his hunting horn. 

I’ll keep you posted.

We also have a Labour government of which I’m not keen.

Things are about to progress with my own involvement in the party after a bit of a lull.

Right now we are about to get the plane home but there is lots to share and it’s probably the right time 

Am going to finish the last three decades of the rosary


We paid €10 euro for that over exposed image but look how happy we are…

Speak soon

What the Hell is Heaven?

This has been briefly and very well touched on in the RCIA group i.e. 'Church school'. I have a way of explaining it, almost like we become a version of the Holy Spirit, apparently we will have a glorious body but of course, there will be no time. This is the thing that can be difficult to grasp. There is no time.  Was there ever? I know in the Bible, when it talked of hurling Satan out of Heaven and all his angels down with him, they do bad things knowing they don't have much time.  Not been writing much, lots of work, not all of it good, still constantly reevaluating my life, not getting to daily mass. Will have more time now.  Its a curious thing that the harder life gets, the closer one is to God. Even those that profess to be of no faith have no problem calling to the heavens in a time of need. I think that's a good thing.  I'm thinking a lot about ministry work. I don't think I can because I'm a girl. Also, the best way to bring people near to God is j...

Teenage Traumas

 A lot has happened, mostly I was struggling at home and at work. Angry at myself for lack of motivation, having the time to do more housework and renovation than ever before and yet down I was spiralling.  As for my parenting, I was on the brink, keen to lead by example, keeping calm, consistent, everything you should do, whilst reassuring myself this couldn't possibly continue. There was not even a good section of the day we could manage, my daughter and I. Those times seem so long ago now. I prayed, mostly not knowing what for but was on my knees many a time.  It took a while but those prayers were answered. I really am proud of her. She still takes the mick about me and there's a healthy amount of humour but nothing insulting or truly blasphemous.  So very fortunate am I and always did treasure dearly mine and my daughters relationship. Now we do all sorts together like we did and am finally happy to put a lot of things down to 'her age' furthermore at least we h...

Finding Love - Campaigning to Church

 Normally I read on a Saturday morning in Church, the local tory WhatsApp group has been going mad with everyone meeting to deliver leaflets. It occurred to me today FromConservativismtoCatholicism - it really has been for me. There's been a lot of change in the party. We have a new leader now, Kemi Badenoch. An outspoken Nigerian lady. As I've said before, loyalty was always our secret weapon. It's not so much that it hasn't remained a secret but more, sadly, that there is no loyalty. With this in mind she has my full support. I'll not give up church to campaign but will try and do a bit more to support the candidates locally. I interviewed them because I sit on the selection committee there's also more to tell about the party nationally but I'll come onto that  A great deal has happened these last six months. I've met someone. Life is wonderful really.  We met whilst out shooting, a time I feel so close to God, out in the natural world that humans have...
