This year, Ramadan and Lent are going head to head, with the start of Ramadan falling on Shrove Tuesday – the day right before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. So they’re off, heading down the back straight as it were, competing for attention. Obviously, our leaders at Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Westminster heard the outcry […]
I left the man cave twice on Wednesday to walk round the corner to my parish church. It was Ash Wednesday, so I went to the morning Mass to receive the ashes and back at midday – as I’ll do every weekday when I am in the UK – to take part in the Stations of The

Global warming is really taking its toll up here in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It’s freezing cold again and makes the actual man cave bearable only for the shortest of visits with the Dyson heater at full blast and as high a temperature as it is capable of. One of these days Mrs Watson
