On we go!
I am not sure how long I can keep this blog going. The reason for this statement is that I am not sure of anything just now. What happened at the weekend has left me shocked and anxious. Clinging to my home is my only way of dealing with it all. Every time I contemplate any course of action I shie away from anything that takes me away from safety at home. I have become a wimp! In the past my conduct would have been very different...but old age has scared me. I was unable to speak to the doctor yesterday....and I am not ill....just frightened and anxious and I will not take pills to make me feel better...so on I go...
Following the election in America is very interesting..The relection of Mr Trump now looks possible..which seems appalling from over here..Its just one more indication of the new world being created around us. Many good things are happening too...but you have to look for them amidst all the confusion and angst. That many of the violent happenings are done in the name of religion just makes me groan......How can any terrorist think that killing people is the will of God? This world is very frightening for us old people. Praying is now my only of coping......so on we go...hopefully....

Good morning Jean. So sorry to read that you are anxious. Do try to speak to your doctor as he will no doubt be able to allay your concerns. You are safe in your house, keep talking to friends on the phone.
As for the USA - well, it’s going to be an interesting few days.
Take care
Hi Jean,
What adventures you have been having! When we were younger we could take such things in our stride. Nowadays, with a shorter stride (literally at least in my case) it's easier to trip up. But as long as nothing is badly broken, we can pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and start all over again, can't we?
I dropped a yoghurt carton on its way back to the fridge this morning and getting up after cleaning up was not easy but with a bit of a struggle I managed it! Makes me smile now 🙂
I'll be going around to see Craig and Lucie in the nextdoor apartment block "bubble" this evening, which is one of the week's highlights.
Tomorrow and Thursday I will be live streaming Morning Prayer at O930 on the Lancaster Priory Facebook page, from home, deputising for the Vicar. You would be welcome to join us.
Take care. Stay safe. And may you feel God's presence by the comments of friends. With love, John x
Thank you John..That brought a smile to my lips I will see if I can join morning prayer ...somehow I am called by the Lancaster Priory page. Xxx

Dear Jean please don’t think you’re on your own
I’m anxious to I have to sometimes MAKE myself do something.
Today I shall potter in my garden with my sweet little dog who keeps me sane.
Lots of love to you chin up girl we can do this xx
Late to the party again. I have been quite busy writing and publishing our parish magazine as well as attending medical appointments for both me and for Jen.
The new lockdown has thrown all plans into the fire. I was to preach and lead on Remembrance Sunday, that has changed, now we are back to online worship, I am still preaching, but events at the Memorial, which was to lead is now cancelled.
We might film something at the Memorial and broadcast that. Still sorting out what if anything we will be doing. I will preaching the following Sunday, from Church as we have decided to use the Church, rather than use the Vicarage and the Vicar now wants my support for streamed services, so rather than recording a sermon or prayers, I will be in Church, preaching from the Pulpit.
I can understand you anxiety, I try to keep to busy to get anxious, and am fortunate enough to be able to do so. I also have Jen to care for and convey around so its never dull,my spouse my lover, my friend and my sparring partner - who could want more?
