Cycle ride along Withybrook Lane, England
THIS VIDEO
This ongoing Video Diary by myself John Neal, sometimes known as John Longcroft-Neal, as the whim takes me.
TODAY’S SUBJECT is a chilly cycle trip to explore the land from Shilton to Withybrook, Warwickshire, England.
GENERAL STUFF
I am retired from two careers of primary school teaching when I was deputy head of a Middle School and Primary School, and as a self employed Chalkboard Artist from 2002 until I reached the grand old age of 65 in 2016. Since I retired it’s like a second childhood but with more expensive toys.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this subject. As a former Christian, it took me many years to realise how the Bible (or rather mistranslations of key words) and the subsequent manmade Christian doctrines developed over the centuries, warp the truth of a God of Love who is All. Love does not consign anyone or thing to an eternity of suffering. We are all born with faulty genetics or other unseen influences and add to that our environments and family situations. We all 'sin' or act out of harmony to love and truth. God through 'Christ' is bringing healing/harmony to all creation. That might take millenia to bring about but we will ALL be freed from the harmful effects of this material universe. No one will be left behind. We are all part of the same One so it is impossible for anyone to not be part of this great journey. ❤

    An interesting video and topic John. If you decide to do an occasional zoom session at some point I might be interested. So many of us react in a certain way to even the word 'religion' but even though I'm not personally religious, I have to be mindful andcrespectful that many people are. It's easy to say if there is a God who does he let wars happen? God gave man free will but sadly this free will is often abused. It isnt God that starts a war, it is man. Even if that war centres on a religious belief over another one, it is still man abusing his will. I describe nyself as being Spiritual rather than Religious and there are many differences. My belief is that there is something 'out there' far greater than 'me', a 'Power' a 'Force' that if im willing to believe in it, it will guide me. Its funny how those of us who are not religious denounce the word God, and yet without exception i bet everyone has said, often when in a mess or when troubled "God help me" or perhaps when wondering how we found our way to somewhere unfamiliar we've said "God knows how I got there" Perhaps theres a God (or a Higher Power) within us all. We just need to tap into it 👍

    The weather is bad BUT this is all being caused by excessive building on cheap / low laying land,protecting it from flooding and then pushing the water problem on to someone else. It wasn't called flooding years ago, the the water was retained within the low laying land. It's now called flooding because it's invading what man has taken over. We never paid attention to it 40 years ago.
