Welcome to the penultimate Wednesday Words of Wisdom for October, 2025. As per the lyrics of a song by The Temptations, ‘Time marches on’. Speaking of music, there can’t be many of us that haven’t heard of Madness. I can remember when the ska revival broke out in the late seventies and, although they became…

This week’s Wednesday Words of Wisdom from The Church at Hiraeth was late in terms of inspiration. Usually, I know well in advance what I am going to speak about.
