And still there is war…

Friday the 13th - November 2015 - a black day indeed for Paris with a massive co-ordinated attack by Islamic Terrorists. 

Three days of mourning have been announced and candles burn in windows in remembrance of those who died.

So many atrocities this year that I sometimes feel we are in a third world war.
