The hallway carpet is thread-bare in places, and is also black. As such, it could stand to be vacuumed daily—thought it isn’t. This morning My Midnight Man dragged the Dyson Vacuum from the hall cupboard. Whilst I’m eating a bowl of cornflakes, Midnight Man energetically sets the machine in motion. After a couple of …
With My Midnight Man’s progeny living in their own abodes, I had this naive and silly idea that the days of needing to go to the A&E (English for Accident and Emergency—the American counterpart is the ER) had ended. Not so. I begin the tale a few weeks back, when my ears were …

Yes, I have a sewing machine. Actually, I have two. If it seems extravagant to have two when I rarely use either one of them, then I must explain as to why I have two. Sewing is a part of my family heritage. Grandma Cox learned to sew from her Grandmother Fisher, who …

Specifically for the purpose of this post, I am referring to the New Wine Ministry within the Church of England (Anglican-Episcopalian church). New Wine …
The congregation where My Midnight Man and I are involved, the local St. Mary’s Church, Langley , is a Church of England. http://langleymarish.com/stm.htm It is not high church; there are no incenses, no canter, no chanting.
