England's Nazareth: the shrine at Walsingham
Yes, walking back barefoot to retrieve footwear was the norm. Nothing taken from the slipper chapel was returned. It was a minor site compared with the holy house, so little or nothing of great value was kept there. Very little was recovered ...

England's Nazareth: the shrine at Walsingham
frankbeswick, Thank you for the back- and front-stories and product lines. Did pilgrims walk back barefoot to retrieve their footwear from the Slipper Chapel? Did the recovery of the Slipper Chapel inspire return of anything taken from it?

Piriformis - an unusual form of sciatica
Ty for your kind words. Yes stretching is key to good health. I now stretch my Piriformis at least twice daily. The Physio therapist reckoned that at worst, we should stretch our Piriformis 6 or 7 times a day.
Keep stretching.

It is quite honestly the worst pain I have ever experienced. Childbirth and ophthalmic shingles are nothing to this Piriformis pain sciatica.
You are right positive mental attitude and prayer when possible have helped.
I do hope these tips ...

People were not averse to walking some distance then, but I don't know.

Piriformis - an unusual form of sciatica
A positive attitude and being intent that you will recover works wonders. In a severe case such as yours a doctor and meds are needed, but keep a positive attitude. Since I know no biology, I had enough science not to take it, the technical ...

Frank,
Would they have walked 6 miles to attend do you think ?

Peterloo 1819
Our English ancestors were not living in Manchester at that time, but they were not far away, only in the vicinity of neighbouring Salford/Eccles, so they could have been present at Peterloo., though there are no records of them and there is no ...

blackspanielgallery, Thank you for the practicalities and products. Are many Louisianians of German descent specifically of Bavarian origin?
In a different but somewhat related direction, are there cultural impacts from the 19th-century ...

Oktoberfest Home Décor
Ornaments come in many styles, and international ornament themes are easy to find. I have seen British red phone booths, the Eiffel Tower, and so on.
I thought the table runner looked nicer than the tablecloth, which is also available.

Our ancestors weren't in ...
