Our Fenland Memories

Step back in time to the 1930s and 40s, where life was vastly different for a family growing up on a Fenland farm in the middle of nowhere. The hard work of farming was a way of life, with no fancy machines to ease the back-breaking labour. Every family member and friend had a role to play, from picking potatoes by baskets to chop hoeing sugar beets. And when harvest time came around, it was dirty work for the adults but great fun for the children - who were happy to help, especially if there was extra pocket money on offer.

In those distinct seasons of yesteryear, winter brought frost that created magical ice crystals on the inside of windows. We learned to take comfort in stone hot water bottles at night, and became experts at dressing and undressing quickly in unheated bedrooms. But would we be able to cope today without electricity or indoor plumbing? Perhaps, but we’d rather not find out.

These personal memories of social history are a treasured part of our heritage, a snapshot of life in a bygone era that needs to be preserved with pride for future generations. In this fast-moving, ever-changing world, it’s important that we don’t forget our Fenland roots. Join us on a journey through time as we reminisce about the joys and challenges of life on a rural farm in a simpler, more humble era.

Errors of Grammar

A Day Is a Thousand Years

“But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
– 2 Peter 3:8, NKJV.

There are similarities between the days of creation, the Exodus, the days of Holy Week, and the earth’s millennia as determined through genealogy as calculated by the likes of Ussher. By looking at the patterns across creation, the Exodus, the days of Holy Week, and the millennia, we can see Peter was looking at a literal interpretation in 2 Peter 3:8.

This will take us from day one of creation to the 1,000-year reign and the new creation post Christ’s return as prophesied through creation week, the Exodus, Holy Week, and Revelation.

Whether you believe in a young earth or not, you cannot deny the seven millennia shown by the Biblical genealogy.

Campaign for Open Science with Spirituality without a Big Bang

This groundbreaking book invites world leaders to follow science, yet urges an open dialogue in the pursuit of truth, steering clear of Big Pharma’s marketing propaganda. John delves into how the universe perpetually reinvents itself in a Steady State, eschewing the traditional big bang theory, through his father’s concept of ‘symmetrical impermanence’ (SI). He posits that Jupiter was once a binary twin to the sun, which, after collapsing in a supernova, gave birth to the planets.John tackles Chalmers’ ‘hard’ problem of consciousness using the wave-particle interchangeability (WPI) principle found in electromagnetic fields—the same principle that powers cell phones. He theorizes that the music of life emanates from primary energy as electromagnetic waves, which coalesce into a ‘One Mind’ comprising a nested hierarchy of sub-minds. According to his theory, our brains transform these waves into protons, constructing our bodies with conscious awareness and enabling us to experience and adapt to hostile environments.He advocates for a Campaign for Open Science and Medicine (COSAM) to foster a shift towards holistic thinking, aiming to safeguard humanity’s future.
