Want to support this blog? Want a good laugh? (or to shudder at death at any rate? Then here's two ways you can keep the Archdruid in doilies...
If you want someone to share the terrors of death while making you laugh, we have "A Hint of Death in the Morning Air" - 97 poems to make you wonder, laugh or shake your head sadly. At only £1 on Kindle. Or if you want to know what the people in the pews really think, and you prefer your words printed on paper, why not try "Writes of the Church"? The letters to the Church magazine the vicar really didn't need.
here, have a bit of happiness

Never sure whether this is tongue in cheek or a reflection on the reality of many of us. No mention here of Christmas Cards, who do we offend by not sending one or forgetting them as we compile our list of cards. Our church has taken the initiative by asking people to post one card on a notice board for everyone and donating the money saved to the food bank or night shelter. Both worthy recipients, but perhaps donating the unused cards to them for distribution might be just as useful?
