@SarahJoy68 Oh Sarah we're so sad to read this. Big hugs to you all xxx

My sweet girls back legs have gone…she will be crossing the rainbow bridge tomorrow at 10am…my heart is breaking - she is the bestest girl - my Keziah 🐾😥💜

@SarahJoy68 Send her our love💖

Heading up to York for a long weekend with my youngest as she gallops through her final year qualifying as a midwife…cannot wait to see her 💜💜💜

@SarahJoy68 Sending much love to you Sarah ♥️♥️

It’s a year today since I last saw my Mom alive … I cannot believe I haven’t heard her voice, laughed with her, held her warm hand, cared for her or smelled her perfume for a whole12 months …can’t wait to be with you in glory Mom - such peace knowing death is not the end…🙏💜

@SarahJoy68 @reachjulieroys @AmericanBaptist Oh Sarah I didn't know that! I heard him at a conference in Eastbourne about 20 years ago and his message was really influential in forming the outworking of my faith.

@reachjulieroys @AmericanBaptist Tony was the speaker who gave the alter call on the evening I gave my life to Jesus 40 years ago - I was a rebellious 17 year old and the words he spoke hit my heart and I gave my all to the Lord…forever thankful and what joy knowing he is now face to face with his King 🙏💜

BREAKING: Tony Campolo, an @AmericanBaptist minister and sociologist who spent decades urging Christians to address social ills like poverty & racism, has died. Fellow ministers say Campolo was one of the most influential evangelicals of the last 50 yrs. julieroys.com/tony-campolo-s…

@MichaelRosenYes Irish mother, Cockney father, East end of London '50s and '60s. Both would say "Give me strength and call me Charlie" when things not going to plan. I honestly don't know if it's an Irish or Cockney saying

@bassetnormand @MichaelRosenYes That one plus "It's snowing in Paris". Meaning white showing where length of hem lines was decided. East London, mid 1960s.

@MichaelRosenYes ‘Charlie’s Dead” a polite term in girls’ schools in Sussex in (and no doubt elsewhere) in 1960s to alert someone that her petticoat was showing below her skirt. Origin unknown #WoM

@SarahJoy68 Sending love and prayers for you all Sarah xx 🙏❤️

My lovely Mom…not doing so well…love her to the moon and back 💜💜💜

@PGtips any answer to that question?

Hey @PGtips my hubby and I have been drinking PG tips loose leaf tea (250g packet) for more than 45 years. Help! We can't find any packets in @SAINSBURY, we've tried 6 stores. Which supermarket stocks this please?

@plantsbloke Terrible for your town. Glad you're OK.

My town today. Never seen anything like it here… #floods #StormBabet

@krishk @susie_dent A word I will make sure I use regularly 😊

This is a beautiful word. @susie_dent did this word derive from the biblical character Ruth who seems to epitomise these wonderful qualities.

@RMMul @susie_dent Me too 😊

@susie_dent Love this ❤️

Word of the day is ‘ruthful’ (13th century): full of compassion and empathy for others. The original, before ‘ruthless’ came along.

@RevRichardColes I'm pretty sure my mum (not upper middle class, nurse/health visitor but watched the pennies) used Nivea or Johnson's baby lotion.

@SarahJoy68 Have a lovely time, we've just landed back at Gatwick!

Home for the next couple of weeks....last time I was in Crete was with my precious Pops & Mom....can't help thinking he would have loved it here...miss you Pops💜💜💜

@AndrewTRoycroft A truly moving article, beautifully describing the ripple effect that can flow from faithful witness. My mother was a Roycroft from West Cork (although lived in England for 80 years til her death last year aged 101). She was a part of a faith filled mMethodist family from there.

A new blog post about evangelism, stewarding the opportunities that God gives to us, and the incredible repercussions that flow from being faithful where God has placed us: thinkingpastorally.com/2023/08/21/a-h…

@LibbyPageWrites @sheptonlido Aw Shepton lido, haven't been there for ages. My hubby and I are on holiday on Vancouver island, Canada, in an RV. Your tweets about swimming in rivers has encouraged me (and him) to swim in 2 rivers here... Flippin lovely! 🏊

Tonight I took myself, Kate and Rosemary to my local lido @sheptonlido for a swim! I'm so lucky to have this friendly community pool nearby - the characters in The Lido would approve!

@TELUSsupport am on vacation in Canada from UK, attempting to activate prepaid sim, can't enter my UK address for credit card payment, any advice please?
