The One Place in England I Must Always Visit

I am sure in the future there will be time and space to express gratitude and respect for all this "sceptered...

The most Irish of Irishmen was not from Ireland. I did not know this just a few short years ago. In truth all I ever knew of Saint Patrick was to wear green to avoid getting pinched on the 17th of March, and far too often I forgot.

We walked the streets and hills where Jesus walked, as many before us have done.
