    ginniek reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread PTSD on the Camino with Like Like.
    My “anniversary” is coming up. London 7 July 2005. Always a difficult day. I do use the tube these days but not that day. I made it into the office. Lots didn’t. Front desk security gave me a long look and then offered me a clothes-brush. One of...

    ginniek reacted to dick bird's post in the thread CF… So strange… any explanation? with Like Like.
    The actual church building and its contents are often the responsibility of the parish ie parishioners. If anything happens to either the church or what is inside, they have to put it right. This may explain why churches in Spain are often kept...
