A real Christian group with a purpose

Amazing talent. This is a Somerset baker by the name of Jane Taylor who runs a firm called Taylor Made Cake Courses. See article here. I can scarcely believe that this are not real flowers. Saturday I attended the occasional Frome men's group. Rise and shine early for an 8 am start but surprise surprise people were all there and we enjoyed a hearty cooked breakfast followed by a talk.

Before I start to whinge, here is a leaflet that I saw in Frome Cheese and Grain this evening. Unsung minorities which are not so small as we would like to imagine are nevertheless important so well done whoever it was for this local initiative.   A brief word today. There is a social and cultural group called Christians in Media. I receive a lot of material including an invitation to come...
