Yesterday, being Friday dear readers of Wear and Dao, was tradionally a day for fish rather than flesh or fowl in most Christian religions reflecting apparently Jesus being the fisher of men. As it happens the kind caring friend and her mother were both raised as Christians , the daughter a member of the once true faith by virtue of having a Catholic father and the mother a member of Henry's version . Raising a child in any religion dear readers takes an extraordinary amount of faith , especially if raised in a religion other than ones own , but then what is faith ? .
Clearly, Faith is a matter of opinion and organised religion of any kind demands rather too much faith of the faithful ... still there you go, it's nice to have something to believe in beyond oneself.
Today we went to Chatterbox in St John's Chapel for lunch. St John's Chapel by the way is in County Durham, Weardale, North East England, UK.
The food at Chatterbox was wonderful as always: vegetable soup with warm crusty bread for the kind caring friend and souffle omelette with salad for your old blogger.
After this culinary delight we repaired to Rookhope nearby to meet a dear old friend, Alan, who was helping to host a tiny homes exhibition. We three then went to the house we two currently reside in, for afternoon tea and cake not to mention philosophy and the Meaning of Life, a puzzle to many of us dear readers.
Tomorrow Bill arrives for more philosophy as usual as well as lunch.
As for The Meaning of Life, it's quite simple ... just be kind to all you meet as HHDL, The Dalai Lama teaches us!
