Religion Has Given Us Some Amazing Architecture. Content Warning.
Introduction Last weekend I visited Durham Cathedral with Fiona, Matt and Lesley and it got me thinking about how stunning many religious buildings are, and the work that has gone into them. My dad was a builder (he is still around, having also been a farmer and installing over two thousand Post Boxes throughout the north and west of England) and I worked as a labourer with him so I am constantly impressed by these structures.

My Upcoming French Trip
I've visited France so many times, that I can't remember them all. But I always remember the architecture, the food, and the place where I tried alcohol for the first time. In May, I will go to Disneyland Paris for the fourth time. I remember going to a chocolate factory in France on a school trip. I don't remember the exact place, but I think it was up north somewhere. The last time I visited Paris was nearly 15 years ago. Last year I went to Lille and Strasbourg.

One Ramadan in Paris
Ask me to diet, and I won't last a day. I have neither the will nor the inclination to follow through after the initial thought of launching into one.. With Ramadan, however, abstinence comes easy. It’s like a different operating system takes over and I can observe the entire month of fasting without issue.
