The U.S. health system sucks. It isn't bad, but only if one can afford it or has health insurance. I do fear for the future of our institutions, so I try to focus on what we can enjoy now.

Unfortunately, our current government is constantly chipping away at the country and its values as we have known them pretty much since shortly after the second world war. Gradually, everything that used to be common property of citizens is being sold off to multi-nationals and foreign entities. But if we hadn't had the NHS I would be dead several times over. I am hoping, very much, that it can be saved - but it's in a delicate state. The idea was 'Health care from the cradle to the grave; free at the point of delivery' - and it has worked well. Long may it continue.Lucy Corrander : Photoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964351675026702967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851693270620989412.post-36420310724464419472023-12-07T15:56:29.078+00:002023-12-07T15:56:29.078+00:00Fine looking murals.

If you zoom into the picture, you will see, carved into a stone above the door, that although this building is now used by the local Labour Party, in 1873 it belonged to the 'Zoar Particular Baptists' (a Calvinist group I think). I've visited this small town only once but one of the striking things was the number of different Christian sects and denominations that built quite substantial churches and meeting places there in the nineteenth century, at times right next door to each other.Lucy Corrander : Photoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964351675026702967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851693270620989412.post-89210573200200291132023-12-06T19:31:09.887+00:002023-12-06T19:31:09.887+00:00Thanks Magiceye.
