Can Christians Believe in Evolution?
I found the age of the oldest rocks given as 4.5 thousand million years in a BBC video, while we say 4.5 billion. Is the thousand million for billion common in the U. K.?

Balnamoon Skink ; Irish food
This bacon and cabbage broth sounds useful, though my stocks of cabbage have nearly run out.I was talking to Constancia, my daughter-in-law, today about what she wants me to grow next year, and she tells me that she will always use cabbage.

Balnamoon Skink ; Irish food
I have added a warming bacon and cabbage broth/ thick soup to the list. Bacon broth is found all over Ireland but this one is from the very south.
Perfect for cold winter days like today.

I greatly value wool and all crafts that use it. Beside being good at knitting my mother was ...

I'm sure my grandmothers had special knitting containers as well. All I have is a set of straight needles of all lengths and sizes, and an old tin with crochet hooks and stitch holders. It's a shame we lose track of such things, but I'm happy ...
