Who Cares
Beautiful Moon
Reflecting in the park
I am trying so hard to rebuild my life and others too... why because that is Marjorie... ohhh my goodness can also add in my list been a character in a play written by Michael Wynne Who Cares! The last election look at all those that work in the NHS and use the NHS been helped by the NHS been let down by the NHS cutbacks.... but most of all Who will Care for the NHS?
Ramadan Kareem in Store
🌙
🌺Love what Debenhams Store in Uxbridge have done in the Children's clothes department.... they have recognized Ramadan and the celebration for the kids to get dressed up for Eid in fine party clothes..... so Love this Ramadan Kareem displaying. Was speaking with the duty manager and telling him about my family link up project.. he was interested and given me a contact to see if I can get some clothes for my Family Link Up project to send to the refugees....or even take out if I can get some more funds... with of course some food goodies too. See how you can help me for the Ramadan month.... Thanks Family Link Up
How you make it
Every child Matters
There is a good children's centre with also midwives having clinics there.
The pastor has invited me to come some time in the week to see.
Boris Empty Seat
Sir John Randall would team up with John McDonnell MP for Hayes & Harlington on problems in the borough of hillingdon and we simply have not seen this with Boris.... There was always mutual respect instead Boris has been digging at John McDonnell so not a happy feel in the borough. A wealthy borough yet with increasing poverty... yes wealthy to the north of the borough and lots of property developers but grassroots folk feeling every pinch of the Tory politically induced austerity. Churches and Salvation Army in Uxbridge and surrounding wards have seen a sharp rise in the need for foodbanks and charity support in failed badly written DWP policies. Kids turning up at school hungry yet Tories plan to take away school meals.. Elderly struggling with some not getting state pension in shift in retirement age. Some on three good meals a week not a day. Not a happy state of affairs and we need MPs that listen and work for the many not the few elites.
I shared my story of being a DV victim and how women are being let down with cutbacks in CPS and the DWP failing to support on the long road to recovery and rebuilding lives in all the psycho-social aftermath. That women's lives could be lost as she either turns back to perpetrator and next beating be murder or she commits suicide in depression as feels the system is battering her and criminalising her for needing help. Help she and other taxpayers but into a system to support those in need at times of need. The audience and all candidates pledged support for my call for a better deal for women...with stronger support to rebuild their lives! They found it unacceptable that I as a 63yrs DV victim should have been presented with an eviction notice from the local Tory led council yes 63yrs old woman to be evicted from an OAP sheltered bungalow. A society without compassion ceases to be a society....

Arabic Learning
It was funny last week in the Syrian supper evening in Brixton Baptist Church one of the Syrian refugees that has settled in Yorkshire was talking about "me mother" he had the accent coming through in his English speech like my Syrian refugees after listening to Marjorie :-) we love that in our settlers when our regional dialects are heard.. it is what brings communities together... when we chatter & understand one another together...
There are some good teaching books and fun learning on this website..... ohhhhh hope I get some funds for my Family Link Up to get these for the children's learning and sharing.

Yorkshire Dama Cheese order here
Lovely and yummy got my order from Yorkshire Dama Cheese... The mint Halum cheese is lovely diced in salad. So impressed with Razan since she settled in Huddersfield. It is brilliant she has started this business making Syrian cheese with our Yorkshire dairy farmers.. Great that Princess Anne has visited her factory and commended her enterprise. Click on the link to read more and order her products....
Captive Queen
Her husband, Louis of France has been more monk than monarch, and certainly not a lover. Now Eleanor of Aquitaine has one sole purpose: to return to her duchy and marry the man she loves, Henry Plantagenet, destined for greatness as King of England. It will be a union founded on lust, renowned as one of the most vicious marriages in history, and it will go on to forge a great empire and a devilish brood.Synopsis from Amazon
This is a story of the making of nations, and of passionate conflicts: between Henry II and Thomas Becket; between Eleanor and Henry's formidable mother Matilda; between father and sons, as Henry's children take up arms against him - and finally between Henry and Eleanor herself.

Caramelized Yummy Dates
Zaytoun CIC
Regents Park Mosque - King George VI
🌸Very pleasant afternoon at the King George VI Mosque in Regents Park.... love the walk through the park and lovely to get the first glimpse of the mosque between the trees. Great story of our Queens Father giving the royal land for a Mosque and educational centre to be built; it was out of thanks for the British Muslims that fought in WW2. The King laid the foundation stone to the building. The educational centre is for people to come along and learn about Islam whether they embrace it or not. This afternoon we had a talk from a Christian vicar that is now a Muslim, so was comparing the message and practices.....Good to remember as we move towards Ramadan that before Easter the Christians fast too... We have many Christians and Jews that join the fast in the Mosque and help with the evening feast. As we discussed Ramadan we were acknowledging that many are needing food banks and going hungry with the present welfare reforms. So we made a pledge to check on neighbours and see if they had eaten and to share food. Today was the monthly Sunday afternoon of sharing with non Muslims and new Muslims..... If you look at the audience photo we have women and men mixing and there is no pressure for women to wear hijab... the main is for all to be welcome learn and share. .. in the prayer room covering is used out of respect and it feels good to cover and just focus on the peace of the prayer room. 
🌷Great to see the Palestinian Zaytoun Dates in the Mosque ...

Global Family Evening
love the idea of the web of decorations in the church hall... to symbolize how we are all connected and whatever happens in one part of to world affects another part the world. When our Global family hurt others feel it it too and respond to that pain to help..... all we need is all the power drunk despotics in the world to realise their power is delusional. The real power is love and care and compassion for one another and being a Global family... sharing with one another.
Good food, song and dance and story sharing to bring us all together as the global family we are.
Tables cleared and Dabke dance together.
