Goodbye Beefeater
Soon Beefeater will be no more. A few years ago, this would have perhaps generated more grief for us. For much of the early days of our marriage, the restaurant chain provided a convenient, reliable dating option. Although a little more expensive than a Weatherspoon’s or Harvester, it wasn’t too expensive and as Sarah has… Continue reading Goodbye Beefeater

Faithroots anniversary
Apparently it’s the 6th anniversary of Faithroots in this current iteration. I’d actually run a blog called Faithroots on wordpress about 5 or six years prior to that and indeed had experimented with a bogspot site back in the noughties. The reason behind the original site was that I wanted to start providing additional resources,… Continue reading Faithroots anniversary
