The United Nation’s World Environment Day is 5 June each year. This year, the focus was on plastic pollution. There is debate about how much of our rubbish is actually being recycled.

The Easter Question?
Wikipedia says “Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically.” Who do you think Jesus was?

A Time to Remember

At Cores End, we had a quiz supper night and a splendid anniversary cake. Thank you to the quizmasters, cooks and everyone […]
a time for reflection
There are many times of reflection throughout our lives. This last week, many people have been focused on that one amazing individual, Queen Elizabeth II and found various ways to show their respect. At the same time, we continue to have good and bad news of our own. Personal bereavement is different for everyone and […]
