The newsletters are published for this month and on the right day. Hopefully a pattern to be completed at the end of every month. Life is returning to normal. Today is Sunday and I shall go to Church and my email tells me that it is being celebrated at St Clement, Sandwich in the Diocese of Canterbury and the service today is for the Feast of Candlemas. The theme "Jesus is the light of the world and the light in the darkness" is an eternal one in the Christian faith. I miss actually being in Church but I am 79.5 now and if life can make it possible for me to just go to Church at home that does work well.
My thought on trade was lets go back to the way it was; no trade between Canada and the United States (if we want to buy something than we just cross over buy it and pay the duty required on the return). With our new border surveillance we should catch anything, even a rabbit trying to cross the border (and especially guns and fentanyl as we do not want either of them loose in our country (the guns need to be registered in our country we are strict about that and the fentanyl destroyed)). This way our youth can re-create the industries of the past that were in Canada before they were bought up and sold so that the competition could move their products in. This time no selling of companies to anyone outside the country. We can sell to each other we are thirteen provinces and territories. That way we will all be happy like we used to be. People can still pass back and forth through the border crossings and we can smile at each other and be the two hundred year plus friends that we have always been. Supporting each other when catastrophe strikes and praying for each other when tragedy occurs. That is what friends do.
Plus Europe is desperate for gas and we could sell them gas and oil. I think that is the way it used to be; people were desperate for particular items and so a country sold it to them. That probably works better.
I bought all the ingredients for my regular chicken stew and it will have onion, potatoes, carrot, turnip, brussell sprouts, frozen broccoli, frozen peas and frozen corn all grown in this country and frozen in this country if need be along with Canadian chicken. That way we do not have to worry about trade; we have it all here. I will miss the fresh fruit, fresh vegetables (fresh cauliflower in chicken soup is wonderful) of all kinds that came up to us (great while it lasted) but our friendship with the United States will be strong as it has always been these last two hundred plus years.
Another day in the frozen wasteland but I shall be writing and today continues to be the Pincombe-Pinkham family (another shared family with our neighbour to the south as there are many many of each of us in both countries and in our native England (and South Africa and Australia)). This book could be quite intriguing. I may publish it widely because it has less theoretical ideas other than the possibility that the Pincombe family of North Molton is descendant of the Pencombe family of Herefordshire. Life is always exciting.
The Blake family of Andover book continues along as well and I will return on Monday working on the ancient documents for the Blake family of Calne that I ordered and have received so quickly. The contents of them may be most revealing.
Teatime. It is Groundhog Day and it is really cloudy so at least six more weeks of winter but in this area there is always six more weeks of winter at least one hopes so. We need the snow cover. Solitaire games to be played. That will be a challenge for me as I renew in the spring with Microsoft. Oh dear how did we ever get so entwined. Perhaps I should give it up until the new administration comes in four years! I can always play it with a deck of cards!
