Thanks ct!

Thanks from me, too, CT. That surely is a beautiful place!

I've spent years in the Far East, but never managed to make it to the UK or Europe. If I did, I'd want to start at London and drive up to and through Scotland (west - east). Even better, as one of Scots descent, I'd like to do as a colleague did: rent a houseboat and cruise Loch Ness from end to end..

Not likely, though, since I'm 70+ now... :-(

A late-Medieval crucifix found in Gloucestershire has been declared treasure by a coroner.

Searched on "crucifix Gloucestershire" to find a better photograph of the treasure and found this:

Helen Slatter, a Phlebotomist at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, with the crucifix that her employers at the hospital have asked her to remove whilst working

Hey, that’s the time to do it ! What else are you waiting for ?

[Bellflower]

Jesus died alone for us on the cross. He alone paid the price for our sins. Jesus is no longer dead. He is risen!!! This cross is a mess.

I hope you get to enjoy your Loch Ness cruise. If you manage it, be sure to say hello to Nessie for me!

If I win the lottery I’m moving to the Cotswolds:)

One of the most pleasant places on this beautiful Earth I’ve been fortunate to spend time in, for sure. :-))
