Retired, married to Juliet, and a Christian who loves books, writing, music, nature, gardening, and photography. I'm exploring prayer and spirituality, using my photos to reflect on God and how faith fits into real life: and I hope to stimulate and encourage others to meet with Jesus. Health really matters- and you value it most when there is a risk of losing it! I was unexpectedly diagnosed with colonic cancer, and had successful surgery late in 2019. Love the NHS, God bless them). I am still living with a life-changing condition of fibromyalgia and trying to support others with this illness and other "invisible illnesses." Life has been changed but hope burns eternal. Faith has a deep relevance in good times and tough ones, in sickness and in health. God has been good in my life and has been with me in all these varied experiences.

Growing Dark- Look, See, Pray
November 27, 2025
The strangest day in 2003 was undoubtedly the Eclipse. Typically for Britain, the sky over us was mostly cloudy- we even wondered if we’d see the eclipse at all. The clouds grew patchy, and the disk of the Sun could be seen as a full white circle against a dark-ish background. Gradually the disk was … More Growing Dark- Look, See, Pray
