Churches in the UK are under threat! Not from a 2nd Reformation, more from a failure of Bricks and Mortar!
In a report from the National Churches Trust, the Guardian quotes that “One in five churches say their building has deteriorated in the past five years, …”
But there is some hope, especially for Hastings’ Holy Trinity (HTH) Church.
I was always and still am a big fan of Inspector Montalbano, the Italian detective series set in Sicily. Yes, it had its many oddities, one of which was the lack of motor vehicles in every episode. But it was a great series and sad that it is no more, apart from the odd repeat.
Imagine my surprise and delight at seeing the advert for Inspector Gerri. Not just another Italian Detective series, but one that has a lot of flesh on it bones and in many ways superior to Inspector Montalbano. Set in beautiful Apulia, it’s a must-see programme.
Yes, another TV programme – I’m catching up on my Humax recordings, (still another 195 programmes to go, but that another post!)
Venezuela has been in the news quite a bit recently as Trump ramps up his ‘Narco-War’ against the country. However, as we find in Michael Palin‘s travel documentary, there are many sides to Venezuela.
From deserted tourist towns, to Intelligence Services stopping them and from Angle Falls – how did that helicopter land – to a 3-metre Anaconda. It’s another must-see programme, and a country to visit, perhaps!
