Hope that it will get better

And strength to hold on until it does

You remind me of a favourite bit from St Paul's letter to the Romans, 'trouble creates endurance , and endurance creates hope' or words to that effect. I have hung on to that one at times.

Watching One love Manchester last night. I Was impressed  with Ariana Granda.she handled her self and the concert  with great dignaty,and she can sing.Once again in such hurt,There is togetherness and hope

[smellyloo]

I can't think of a better way to publicly respond to warped hatred!!

An uplifting concert performed by artists from home and abroad, representing all creeds & cultures, sending a message of love and hope which no amount of vile hatred can surpress.

Did you see the Police Officer dancing with the children?........Absolutely heart warming and what a way to show the world people from all walks of life gathering together in unity, brilliant stuff

We watched it was heartwarming. Love and tolerance are our shields against this pernicious warped ideology. All we have to do to win is just keep going doing what we do, it may take a long time but we will show these people that no matter what they choose to do they cannot and will not prevail.

That's how we are in Manchester .for me they should make it the capital...........could even move the broads up here too .............there is a downside ................just bring your umbrella also

Funny pushing now capital and the broads!

[Chelsea14Ian]

Silly phone should  be Finny,still it was funny

[finny]

I remember Walters and partington very well . And should you get homesick you could make a small fortune running boat trips on Hollingworth lake with Malanka

also a very well known ships pilot is a Royton boy and I may also add Norman cruisers was built in Shaw at one time 

Better get a JCB on the moors and start digging the new broads

If you remember Norman cruisers you may know Fred Chiles my dad used to go offshore powerboat racing with him. He is the designer of the teal an turn hull types .  He build a wooden offshore racer in his driveway I played in it when was tiny. 

 

Nice man man long since crossed the bridge
