THE LAST DITCH

We visited Sergeiv Posad today. It is a beautiful, peaceful place. I will put pictures in the sidebar album shortly. In
the meantime, here is a short movie of the bells being rung at the
monastery (click on the picture to play).

This is a guy working hard for his religion.

    Yes Tom, I know it well. One of the Zolotoye Koltso and the drive out from the city is very pleasant. Lovely day out and pity I couldn’t have been with you.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
