Dear Mary, What a lovely thing to say, thank you. 😊🌠 It’s interesting to note that I did not know any female 90 yr olds as a role model for me to observe from my 60’s onwards ( 30 yrs ago) Since then women and men have been living longer which is marvellous👋 so I’ve had the chance to witness some late 80’s, early 90’s, women in particular. My Uncle lived to 2 mths off a hundred about 12 yrs ago (at which Jim officiated at his Funeral). Change is so quietly constant, it seems. Thank you dear Sunny and Beret for expressing your enjoyment of the video. I can see you all in my mind and spirit . Those Order/EI/ ICA years are well remembered- despite the seriously rough times for my children. Dear Mari, Thank you for all your questions and thoughts, I’ll be thinking about them deeply before I respond 🙏 Here it is ridiculously warm for winter. Sadly the climate is very skew whiff, and we are still wrecking it . I have another video relating to my passion over the Aboriginal community here. By & by I’ll send it over. It’s more a family story. With my love, Isobel xoxo

https://youtu.be/Tf46wIjqdQM?si=elIg5-zNgXWKhfqb Dear friends all over North America, I thought you may like to see something a bit different . There is so much hatred etc going on, here is the outback far western part of the State of New South Wales. My daughter Cathy & I were part of the volunteer team last month. Frontier Services is the ‘outback ‘ arm of my Church ,the Uniting Church in Australia. I am many years now a retired Minister of the Church ( as was Jim). Thank you for the recent chat about Worship in Church , I found it so lovely to read ! Special thanks to Dianne, Sherwood, Wanda and Nancy ! The Church I now attend is bending the trend of most of the wider Church. Lots of children, couples, gender diverse, gender identity young ones. It’s a joy to be there on Sunday, both morning and evening😊🌠 The Ministers are a team: Wife & Husband- it’s very heartening as now at 90, I’ve seen so much in the institutional Church ! I can walk just a 3 min walk too. With my love to you all, from down here , Isobel

Dear Sharon, The Local congregation - there were 6 at the Service on the Sunday when we celebrated the completion of the painting of the ceiling, windows and all the doors- were thrilled. ! ( population 100), it is used by all denominations- (I found a Missal and an Anglican Prayer Book in a cupboard :) So that means any Clergy could pop in and hold a Service of Worship for any of their Parishioners.. I love it that you have the opportunity to hold a form of Town Hall meetings once again for your Semiquincentennial. Hallelujah again! It is a time Active Trust. With my love to you all, Isobel
