		<title>Being frugal is the new fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beating the recession is all the rage just now. Wherever people are gathered they are comparing notes on how they are budgeting. Unfortunately not enough people have decided to walk which is a way of getting fit and having fun while still saving. Religion and politics may not be dinner time topics in polite circles [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas cards convey season’s greetings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Christmas cards convey season’s greetings to those who receive them. What, though, should you say if you are actually addressing people at a seasonal gathering? You might, for instance, be a guest at an annual dinner/party of another company. Obviously your speech should be gracious in tone thanking your hosts for their kind invitation and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Those falling leaves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The colours of the leaves in the fall really remind us of the beauty of Nature. What a pity then that we seem to be intent on killing the natural world and our environment. We all know the outcome of deforestation yet we continue to cut down trees and do away with our hedgerows. How [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snuggling down to sleep</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The dark evenings of winter encourage closing the shutters and early nights. When the nights are cold as well as dark we like to snuggle up in our beds and go to sleep. That’s all, very well for those of us who can sleep. Pity the poor insomniac though who cannot sleep despite drinking camomile [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shop early for christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Shop early for Christmas” is a saying that applies only to the well organised amongst us.  In fact in these tight-beltening times perhaps we won’t even be Christmas shopping at all. Certainly companies might be tempted to cancel their Christmas parties or their Happy holiday functions at this time of recession. Yet this might prove [...]]]></description>

		<title>It’s nearly time for the turkey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s nearly time for the turkey. Whether it’s at Thanksgiving or at Christmas most of us like to feast with our families and friends. The trouble is that for many people it doesn’t stop at that. Obesity is a growing problem in the main caused by Junk food, that is so handy for those of [...]]]></description>

		<title>November is the month for remembering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the Catholic faith November is the month of the dead. It’s a time when we remember those loved ones we have lost. That, of course, is not something that is particular to any one faith or religion. Perhaps, though, it should be a time too when we consider how lucky we are to have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who is coming to dinner?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nelson Mandela probably comes top of the list when people are asked with whom they would like to share a meal. That’s understandable because his life has been such an interesting and inspiring one. Historically, though, there are others who would make fascinating dinner companions if they were still alive. Think of Winston Churchill and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remembrance day - gone but not forgotten</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They are gone but not forgotten. How can they be when every year so many countries remembrance day or veteran’s day is celebrated? When we hear a eulogy for a mother or a eulogy for a father they are usually very personal, speaking of that person’s attributes and personalities.  Remembrance Day is different because [...]]]></description>

		<title>Every birthday has a special significance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every birthday has a special significance. The first birthday of a son is an occasion for oohing and aahing by grandparents and aunts. It’s a day for teddies and toys and balloons. A sweet sixteen birthday is about love and pride and hope for the future of a girl who has become a woman. The [...]]]></description>
