The Lake District is definitely a great place, especially when the weather is good. The town of Kendal, seems to be the main starting point for visitors.

The building, and area looks a very peaceful place. Have to admit I am almost envious. Hope the repairs needed are resolved.

As for symbolic violence, Jesus clearing the temple of the money lenders/changers. The early Christians, Acts of the Apostles, spreading the word of Christ openly and publicly. And Christians, various doctrines openly spreading the word of Christ through the ages. Every 3 to 6 months, Jehovah's witnesses visit the area I live. And also when interest is shown, and by arrangement, LDS missionaries visiting people. Genuine people Evangelising the faith by people in a peaceful manner.

Hi Calm If I remember correctly, that Dario, I think mentioned of a connection with the Netherlands.

Many thanks Mustard seed. I have been fortunate to get great advice and thoughts here on the Dialogue to get me going.

It seems we do the same push ups on the wall. I live in a house, so able also to use the stairs to strengthen my legs. Although I do so in moderation, arthritis starting in the knee. The pickle ball sounds great fun. Sure you and the other ladies rock. 👍

Hi Calm Just tried to DM you, but wouldn't send. Couldn't find your email on FAIR.

Many thanks for the advice, very welcome. Over the last week or two, I have managed to get a fibre based breakfast. I can now get to work on the main meal(s) of the day. Once I get in to a routine, and I am a person who likes routine. I should be able to get along with a better diet.

Thanks for that. Never been to sure about the drinks side if things.

Many thanks for this Calm. Fruit and vegetables are on my list of 'must eat foods'. I am managing to move away from the more fat based foods that I have eaten over the years. Also started drinking fruit juice as a point to move forward from. The local supermarket, is starting to get more correct foods in.

Many thanks.

You are in my prayers Rory. I was 14 stone for over twenty years, my weight the dropped to 12 stone (sorry not familiar with other metrics). Earlier this year, my weight went to 13 stone. I think this was body responding to retirement, managed to get to 12 stone 6, which my doctor thinks is about right for my size and natural body shape. Hopefully, I can get the right diet, food and drink wise, for my ongoing health. Also back to a regular sleep pattern, as I worked shift/rota system for a number of years.

Apart from my walking exercise. I've been taught to do press ups from a wall, on two sets of forty reps. The reason for the 'wall' press ups, is to ease the pressure of the repaired hernia in my abdomen. Also have a pedal machine to help with circulation. A slow start but aim to pick up. Also have stretching exercises to help with ligament issues. Hopefully I will be able to pick from there.

Many thanks, very welcome information. I turned 57 this year, I think my body has aged out aged my body. Apart from a health issue that I have with my blood since childhood. I have managed to pick up a hernia, operated on. And the onset of arthritis in various parts of anatomy. It would seem that I am a walking disaster at times.

Many thanks for that information. Very much appreciated.

After taking early retirement (late 50's) at the end of last year. This was as a result of health and physical issues. I have trying to remain fit and active since the start of this year. Daily, I walk a 1 to 2 mile walk at pace, also, adapted my eating habits, to a more healthy standard. My next area of improvement, will be what I drink. I am hoping for suggestions, to healthy drinks to have. If anyone of the board has any suggestions with regards to healthy drinks, I will be very welcoming of this

Maybe the silence from the Church, could have been a well intentioned attempt at giving yourself some space to overcome whatever concerns that may exist. The infrequent attempts to contact you, although in a official capacity, may have been a attempt to test the water. Also, the attempt at gaining a financial donation, may have been in the belief that you are still an active supporter, if not a regular attendee.

Hi Bluebell Although the Catholic Church, in principle, may accept Protestant baptism, making their Church members Christian. It is partly due to the understanding of Second Vatican Council in the sixties. Which Calm in previous post has touched on. The only Baptism fully recognised by the Catholic church, is by the Catholic which then makes you a member of it. If that makes sense. I think 3DOP can give a fuller explanation than me.

Maybe the founders of these independent Churches considered themselves to be correct, and Christian, because they felt that they were the one true Church.

In Britain, over the last few centuries, there has been issues regarding denomination. Over time, culture and history gets dragged into the debate. In time it becomes, in my opinion, a never ending argument of, you say this, and I say that, with both sides constantly finger pointing at each other, fault finding and points scoring on each other. The last few years, things have begun to settle down. People learning to co exist with each other. It is easier, I find, to accept all people are individuals, with both independent, and also shared beliefs.

In agreement with you. Pre CGI, I feel there was more effort, and thought, put into the making of specific scenes, for the want of better wording, created an illusion.

Very much so.

I recently got to rewatch the first two Superman films with Christopher Reeve. The third and fourth films in that specific series was shown on consecutive nights on TV. The first two are those I prefer to watch, and still enjoy them as much now as when I first went to see them at the cinema when I was a youngster.

Just a thought. Maybe one gang may have known/suspected that the other gang may have been attending the funeral, and decided to be present.

Many thanks for your post Manol, much appreciated. I am glad, that sometimes, I am able to get my thoughts across in an acceptable way.
