Well, here we go!

Update posted by Victor Robert Farrell

I feel how I first looked when I had my picture taken with Mickey Mouse.Excited, happy, and a little perplexed maybe!

Well, although a wee bit older now and mite bit porkier, I feel pretty much the same at the moment as we are pleased to announce our partnership with the Plymouth Rock Foundation and The New Testament Church in Plymouth MA. You can read more on the front page of this fundraiser.

I have been to Plymouth MA on a couple of three occasions now and was very pleased to be part of the annual parade there. It has been particular super to make contact with our good friends over there and match the synergy of our vision for the 2020 & 2021 events.

To that end, these two organizations have stepped in to be our immigration sponsor to join them in these projects and over the next few tears to 'straddle the pond' to so progress them. This is a step of faith on their behalf and ours and to that end, we are asking you to please help us make this all possible. Especially as we approach the end of our charity year, would you consider making a donation to this great cause? The button is on the top right. Thanks.

I am conscious of the boldness of spirit of these old separatists and that inspires me to move forward in this way. I suppose there is no more appropriate an example as to that bold spirit but in the present troubles of Brexit, quote from a Puritan cut from the same mold as he entered the UK parliament one day.

"It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government. Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money. Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance. Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do. I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place. Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!"

Oliver Cromwell

If only we had such spirited men and women today.

As we step out on this journey, we do hope you will join us in the discovering of that spirit and the communication of the same.

Bless you and thank you today

Robert.
