Mother, woman - theatrical, Yorkist, Villaness Fen Gal adopted into Bedford. Born to speak all mirth and no matter. LML.
Sometimes when I look across the Atlantic I feel despair, which is unlike me. These words are a timely reminder.
“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief.
Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now.
You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.”

BBC should be ashamed of this and make an immediate correction and apology
Lovely to be quoted but how come ‘Ms’ King, not Dr or Prof? Being quoted in my professional capacity as the scientist who led the identification of the remains of King Richard III. Notice male Prof gets his title.😉

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

#stirupsunday boozy fruit, pecans and crystallised ginger, the cake raw and cooked. My kitchen smells amazing. As a wiser cook said, I feel humble and worthy and brimming with good things.
