TREVOR STROUD Impact of Jesus of Nazareth
TREVOR STROUD From London to Solihull
Mom made the most gorgeous roast dinners and taught Adrian and myself a few cooking tips.She said "Only Vilvaldi potatoes are good enough for the roast and she would use lamb chop fat to make them even tastier
In Mom's tender teenage years ,she left the Welsh border village for the capital and wow what a shock and as a trainee Nanny looked after a Jewish Family's children and respected the Jewish traditions and helped prepare meals for all the family
I remember going on the train from Calais via Paris to Switzerland.Mom loved Interlaken and we went on boat trips across lake Thun to Brienz and bough my Dad a cuckoo clock
Mom brought myself and my sister up to go to an Church of England church called St Lukes. Mom loved singing and always wanted to become a singer in her life.She loved certain hymns including "The Lords my Shepherd" and many other hymns"
When Mom was around us, she shared how she used to love sitting on the chapel wall near her home listening to the singing
Mom used to say It won't always be dark at 7 . I said" No mom it will probably be dark at 5" The photo over the Breiddon Hills looks overshadowed by a dark cloud but dark clouds pass and it sunshine after the rain
