h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

What a difference a few hours makes.

I felt I needed to go to church! Many have the same desire, for me though it would require an eighty mile drive, this church then is very special to me.

I first visited it when it was jut opened in 1964, and fell in love with its simple curved walls of brick and stone, and the warmth of the custodians.

It has been a good few years since last I visited, the church is still the same, the custodians have changed their welcome was still as warm and friendly. I had come home!

For the first time in some long time I came away refreshed, enlightened, and ready to face a new day!

(Oh yes and the eighty mile return home.)

Hello from a 'newbie'.
Browsing through the Aces I came on your personal page and really like the way you sound. In good old Ulster idiom 'you're a man after my own heart'!
I enjoyed your beautiful rose, and if we were close enough we could have a and some and discuss all those meaningful questions.
I admire your tenacity in driving so far to attend church, and am pleased that you felt enriched.
I do not go to church as often as I used to, but when I do then I feel the better for it, although I still have many doubts and questions.
Give my love to your 4-legged friends, and keep smiling.
BFN.

Thanks for replying, Lightman, --- does your nickname mean you don't weigh very much?, or do you spread sunshine and light everywhere you go?
Do you really bake every day? I used to bake twice a week when the family were at home - bread - soda, wheaten, potato bread and pancakes, fruit treacle, etc. on a Tuesday, and then on Thursday I baked the 'fancy' stuff for the weekend, little buns, etc.. Must say I don't do it now I'm on my own, 'cause then I'd eat it all and get fat!
Am in a bit of a quandary this weekend - trying to decide whether to make a 'life-change' and move to a residential retirement village.
The homes are beautiful, very low maintenance and so on - but I don't know? It would be about 45 miles from where I live, and therefore I'd probably lose touch with some of my friends, and would not see my relatives so often, in particular, my 94 year-old aunt whom I'm very fond of. So I've got a lot to think about.
Anyway, best wishes in everything,
