Wonderful post and pictures, I...Hello dear Woozle,<br /><br />Wonderful post and pictures, I quite fancy booking that cottage where you stayed in Suffolk, sounds heaven.! I live just over the border in Norfolk but have been planning a trip to Suffolk later this year.<br /><br />It has been a very anxious time for you Woozle so can completely understand you not blogging, lovely to see you back again with us though. Pleased you are feeling much brighter after a very sad time.<br /><br />Love Camilla.xxCAMILLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741990891794651299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853386115019850440.post-1398135490865874042009-08-28T18:23:19.547+01:002009-08-28T18:23:19.547+01:00Faith is a strange thing and I often question mine...Faith is a strange thing and I often question mine. The beginning of the summer I had to go a sit with my neice and her husband as they switched off her brother-in -laws life support. He was 20 and had a brain heamorrige(sp). His parents left the hospital when they were told there was no hope leaving Kerrie and Ben to deal with it all. My sister rang me from France where they had been on holiday begging me to go and be with them. It was very hard and not the instant thing that it is made out to be on television. At one piont during the early hours when they were sleeping I got on my knees and begged God to let Joe die to give Ben some release but it stretched out to the bitter end.<br /><br />We have an excellent vicar at our church, I do go but take form it what I beleive is right and discount some of the dogma, Pili Pala has it right in my opinion. The next time we went we were asked to think of a time when we had wanted God to answer our prayers instantly. Until that night I had never asked for something instantly as that is not what God is about for me and I would never expect it. <br /><br />I know why though Joe held on. He held on because his father came back to the hospital just in time to be there when he finally died. His mother now regrets it but it was her descission to leave and Joe's dad had to go along with that. We can live with our own descisions but it is so much harder for relationships to have to live with descisions tha were forced on you. It was important Joes dad got back and that is possibly why God does work in mysterious ways.<br /><br />You needed your holiday and I am so glad for you it was a good one.<br /><br />I don't read many blogs now like you I have tried successfully to break the habit as it takes over. I very rarely comment but felt I had to say something as it was close to my own experience. <br /><br />RachelXXXannakareninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185509518913591643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853386115019850440.post-16150663088334174742009-08-20T12:50:54.019+01:002009-08-20T12:50:54.019+01:00Hello my darlin, I've been wondering about you...Hello my darlin, I've been wondering about you and it's nice to see you back.<br />i just can't seem to blog either.<br />We will all be in leominster again at the end of november, we'll have to meet up again, in fact i'll stand a strange man outside the house to tell you it's the wrong one Duurrrrrrrrr......

We lived for a few years in Great Waltham in Essex not so far from the Suffolk border and my sister lives near Stowmarket so I know this part of the world pretty well and I am in 100 per cent agreement with you. It's really a very lovely place to be.

I don't think it matters where you live you appreciate things so much more when you've had some time away.<br />I feel religion and faith are often confused. I do wonder at times if some people stop and think what they are saying during a service, no matter what their religion is. For me the overall message is to love and care for one another...Pili palahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994841627179129909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853386115019850440.post-37168082421752038732009-07-27T21:04:37.564+01:002009-07-27T21:04:37.564+01:00Welcome back Woozle.

I've lost a friend not long ago because of her beliefs, her constant and very unnecessary trying to convert me. My own beliefs are not everyone's of course but I do think we should each respect others. <br /><br />CJ xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853386115019850440.post-4419439031027608892009-07-27T17:32:06.506+01:002009-07-27T17:32:06.506+01:00Hey great Woozle's back.

Can completely understand why you found it so hard to get blogging again - completely. But so lovely to hear from you all the same. That Suffolk cottage with the little latch door looks so cosy - I'm glad you had such a wonderful time exploring Suffolk - places I have visited in the long and distant past. Lovely to catch up. (And there's no greeting to come even close to a doggy greeting - they just make you feel so welcome back, don't they?)LITTLE BROWN DOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176955139690523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853386115019850440.post-18660703518137485562009-07-27T16:15:59.649+01:002009-07-27T16:15:59.649+01:00Lovely post.

Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it; hope you did anyway as it is one of my favourite places, along with several others you mentioned. And no matter how much you enjoyed being away and exploring somewhere new, the old saying that there's no place like home, really rings true when you come back to it after a break don't you think? In fact, for us, there really is no place like it, and so we staycation, as mentioned in my blog last week.<br />And having bereavements, one after the other, is a sad and exhausting time I know, so I empathise with your thoughts on that.pinkfairygranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497901949136714254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853386115019850440.post-83566952068367146552009-07-27T16:06:49.217+01:002009-07-27T16:06:49.217+01:00Oh Woozle you said so much for me, I too have sat ...Oh Woozle you said so much for me, I too have sat down several times to write but neither had the will or the inclination, I tried again today but once again felt to tired to bother, then I went and had a look to see who had Blogged and there you were, you said all the things I need to say, the loss of loved ones to the "wondering about church" and finally "home is where the heart is"<br />I am glad you are back a the world of cyber telling and I enjoyed very much what you had to say and you know what I think you might have inspired me to exercise the grey matter and the keyboard.<br />Thank You BlossomBlossomcottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341216100768538015noreply@blogger.com
