Having navigated my way through the bitterly contentious subject of Father Christmas the Impostor, I was revealed to find that we were moving onto less tricky subjects – other world religions. In the primary school they run a whole school project learning about Diwalli, so we’ve been talking about this and in the secondary school they are currently learning about the Abrahamic religions and how Christianity, Judahism and Islam all feature Abraham. As long as no fat man in a red costume comes muscling on on the three kings or imported celebrations threaten traditional fiestas, they seem fine with other religions – even to acknowledge the similarities between Christianity and Islam which I thought was interesting. Although given that Spain was an Islamic country for many years, there is obviously still a connection, even if it is now just buildings and an influence over the language.
I’ve got a pile of jewellery hopefully ready to go to the showroom, just waiting now for Disco Tony to finish cutting some displays for me to display my stone boa necklaces and long earrings. I’d set a goal of the end of the month so might just make it….
