A View (Of The Church) From The Road Near The Greenhouse; Further Reflections

29th April 2025 Colin Cross 0

For Christians, Easter is a time for both reflection and thanksgiving. The little church in the village where I live has a small but enthusiastic (if ageing) congregation. I know many of them to talk [more…]

A View From (Just Outside) The Greenhouse; Englishness

15th April 2025 Colin Cross 0

A View From (Inside) The Greenhouse; Merry Eid (By Gum) And A Happy Ramalama-Dingdong

(Not) A View From The Greenhouse; After The Goldrush. The End

21st January 2025 Colin Cross 0

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a hospital. Not an A&E, thankfully, but a famous hospital in the North West of England where I attended for a “pre-op” appointment. It’s an indictment, albeit a [more…]

A (Re)View From The Greenhouse; That Was The Year That Were

7th January 2025 Colin Cross 0
