Berdyaev and Religious Freedom
During my quiet week, I leave you with this meditation on freedom by the great Russian philosopher Nicholas Berdyaev, one of my favourites. I scanned this text from the book I have owned for many years. I suspect that most … Continue reading

A Nasty Aftertaste
Sometimes, we open a bottle of wine and begin to discover the liquid sealed inside the bottle for many years. We usually anticipate something out of this world as we sniff the cork and leave the bottle to breathe for … Continue reading
Affluence on the Aulne
Further from my article on the Route du Sable, I went to the association’s Facebook page after the closure of registrations. Everything is in – L’Aulne connaîtra un record d’affluence … The Aulne (name of the river from the Rade … Continue reading

My Sister Ship is in Spain
I have corresponded with a Spanish amateur sailor, Juan de la Fuente, who has the same boat as I have. He has experimented with different rigs, but finally he has rigged his boat in the same way as mine. I … Continue reading
Avignon in Rome?
In history, there have been many times when there was such a mess in the Church that there were two or more Popes on the go at any one time. There are lists of universally recognised Popes and those called … Continue reading
