Sounds like you had a great time in Durham, I love the idea of the substack family having day trips to Cathedrals wouldn’t that be fab?
When you were describing the little old man on the train you could’ve been talking about my Dad, since my Mum died in 2020 amid the care home/hospital fiasco he has been left broken-hearted, my Dad goes out every day either on a bus or a train just to pass the time. My Dad is 92yrs old unvaccinated and very awake, unfortunately he is just waiting to die he just doesn’t want to live without my Mum. Thankfully most people Dad meets on his travels are very kind as I do worry about him on his own but he says he likes to be alone to people watch and get lost in his thoughts. I went to see my Dad this evening he had been to Liverpool today and went in to a Catholic Church to light a candle, like you Abi he prays for all of his family and all mankind he’s such a compassionate man and I’m so lucky to have him as my Dad. It makes me so sad that after such a good life with my Mum he is left traumatised by the cruel way he was kept away from his beloved wife in her final weeks of life - all in the name of COVID. We can’t just move on too much has happened.
Thanks once again for your great podcast Abi, you are part of my daily routine now - better than any news bulletin!
Glad you had a a fab trip to Durham. The cathedral looks stunning. Mr Jules googled the wooden sculptures as you were talking us through 😂 the music was heavenly.
I’ve lost a few Brenda’s too.....it’s bn a very harsh lesson in human nature that’s for sure.....I think I’m still in shock about a lot of it and a bit numb tbh even after all this time.
I’m busy trying to avoid all talk/footage of Humza....I’ve no room in my head for that prick atm.
You and your nephews must have a very special relationship Abi. What a lovely time you must have had together. Cities are not great for mental well being, its so good to get out of them and be in the countryside. I grew up in London, lived and worked there for many years, i used to love it, but the london i knew doesn't exist anymore.
I thought the same as you Abi when i heard Paul O'grady had died. He was the same age as me when he died and i read about it on my birthday, so that really cheered me up!
I've never followed any religion but I believe in a higher power/creator. I was brought up as a Muslim. I've been in many mosques and churches, some are incredibly beautiful and calming. I've been moved to tears reading passages from Christ's life and feel deeply hurt and outraged when I hear people insult or demean Christ. The church has behaved unforgiveably these past three years closing their doors just when people needed them.
Hope everyone is well. Looking forward to spring and longer, light filled days xx
Is much easier to be moral when every thing is going ok, but not when dictators are assaulting us.😢 The churches, drs, scientists, institutions, politicians, unions shut the doors on us. 🤮🤑🤮for personal gains🤮Our peers were useful idiots helping the oppressors to execute their agenda against us🤮🤑🤮Trust no one, question everything 🙏
Sounds a wonderful time with your nephew. Yes I shared your fb post on Paul O Grady and got blasted but they were suitably reprimanded by me .. just fell short of calling them the C word 😉. I’ve had some lovely girls serving food on trains up and down to KX and yes it makes a difference. No idea what this big reveal is but there wasn’t one. Great podcast Abi it’s my daily fix x ❤️
Bozo getting deadly convid was a psyop to be exposed - sorry confirmed - through an FOI request and he was actually holidaying with the Schwabs on the shores of Lac Leman at the time
Thanks for your prayers Abi. Very much needed this week.
OMG was watching a video from 21st century wire about vaxx from 2014 MMR ect that we give to kids I had to turn it off I was sobbing. Every parent should watch this before they give any to their children. It just shows what evil is out there.
Glad you had a beautiful time with your nephew, sounds a well grounded human.
Abi, what a wonderful trip to Durham. Your nephew Zac sounds like the relative we all wish we had. I’m sure that the trip to Durham and the visit to the cathedral did you a world of good. A beautiful choral piece at the end of the podcast.
What a great idea, SubStack family outings to Cathedrals and churches etc. I would definitely be up for that. I feel at peace in a church and always light a candle and say a prayer. Some churches only have battery operated candles now 😳 Flicking a switch under the candle is not the same as lighting a candle. God bless you Abi xx💖
Thankyou Abi for talking about Durham cathedral. I am dying to go there one day. The cathedral is described as a mountain built by men and I love the story of St Cuthbert. Speaking of all things religious, I have watched The Chosen. It is so so good. I told my sister about it and she said she watched it. Apparently it's one of the most watched shows on Netflix. But there are 2 more seasons!!! You can watch them on The Chosen app. Yes, there is an app. I wondered if there were more seasons and couldn't understand why they didn't include other miracles like bringing Lazarus back from the dead! So that will be my Easter viewing 😊. You can cast the shows from the app to your tv 📺.
As a lapsed Catholic but very much still a believer in God, I thoroughly enjoyed your description of Durham Cathedral and the prayers. As you say, the Churches shut their doors firmly and I'm not sure I can ever forgive that. I do love to light a candle at St Marys Cathedral in Edinburgh when there though.
Re the big John Bowe /David Cartland reveal, as of an hour ago they've all deleted their tweets saying the same. What a surprise...
Love you and all your fabulous podcasts Abi! You are one of the few extensively travelled and experienced women who explain everything so well, with great wit and insight.You speak better than most about what my sister and I feel and think.Your observations, especially on the madness of last 3yrs, are sport on!

Love to all the substackers x
Aww, im so happy you enjoyed your time with Zach, sounds like you had a wonderful meal.
The children’s corner in the cathedral would’ve set me off too.
The prayers were beautiful. I’m so glad that when you lit the candles, your jacket didn’t catch fire, imagine the headlines 😊
That old man on the train🥺, bless him and bless Gail for her empathy towards him.
Regarding the ‘BIG reveal... utter shit and I’m not interested either.
Today, Benjamin’s best friend sent me a video of him, he had just had his haircut, he was wearing no top and it’s from behind so you see his back.
Honestly, my heart skipped a beat. Sat here looking at him, his flesh, knowing how real he was.
I even spotted a little mole on the top of his back🥺😔💔
I won’t put it on social media as I know he wouldn’t approve.
So grateful to his friend for sending it, she was so excited that she’d found it again.
It just made it real again that he’s not here💔
Sorry for the pity party and I hope everyone is ok.
💖💖💖

JHB and her straw hair can do one too.
Happy Meaningful Wednesday people xx

I’m still creasing up at ‘Jizzabel Spunkshot’ from a couple of weeks ago every time I think of it!!🤣🤣🤣
Glad you’re pushing for Alex to get sorted, bless him💙🥺💙
