To have a peaceful day, once a week, where there's no hubub of activity would be just blissful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36694635.post-72569801232450786782010-03-22T11:50:34.450+00:002010-03-22T11:50:34.450+00:00As a child, 40+ years ago in West Wales, I grew up...As a child, 40+ years ago in West Wales, I grew up in a home where church attendance was required morning, afternoon and evening, all veg had been prepared the day before, no sewing or other 'tasks' were allowed, only gentle reading!<br /><br />On my aunt's farm it was similar, except that, of course, milking had to be done twice a day.<br /><br />Whilst I would not want to go back to that restrictive life, there was a quality of rest then that just doesn't exist any more.

I cannot for the life of me see why opening the swimming pool would lead to a further erosion of keeping the Sabbath(for those that want it kept) any more than the ferry sailing does?? I also can't help rolling my eyes at the digs at "incomers"- as one myself ,of course!thelandladyhttp://www.7crawfordstreet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36694635.post-85064339579211224082010-03-12T08:36:05.992+00:002010-03-12T08:36:05.992+00:00Very interesting post, and great
