The house had been a convent and was waiting development by a housing association.

Sadly visiting a park when on holiday on Stratford on Avon came across a most wonderful mulberry tree with its crop trampled into the ground. I found a few ripe ones to eat and share with grandchildren, whilst astonished onlookers kept asking me if I was sure they were safe to eat. My mouth waters as I type.

There are still hundreds of children in Calais. The British government has already been taken to court over their refusal to resettle children refugees – the govt lost and they appealed the decision, fighting hard to refuse refuge to these people.

The behaviour of our politicians and mass media is utterly shameful.
Good for the Bishop, every little gesture which helps spread a message of welcome and respect is important.
