Is This The Proof That Coeliacs On A Gluten-Free Diet Don’t Get The Covids?
I took this picture in Marks and Spencer’s food store on Finsbury Pavement this morning,
I know Easter is coming, but it did seem to me that they had over-ordered the gluten-free hot cross buns.
But have their gluten-free sales held up extremely well during the pandemic?
Are their large numbers of gluten-free customers, still well enough to be buying the good things in life?
Certainly, throughout the pandemic, there’s never been a shortage of gluten-free scones!
Or it could be a simple case of a computer saying “Let them eat loadsa buns!” in the City of London!
A Parade In Cadiz
Returning to the Oriana, our coach was held up by a parade.
The pictures aren’t the best, but it was difficult photographing from the coach.
Seeing these parades, reminds me of probably the first serious film; The Pride and the Passion. I saw it with my father at the cinema in Felixstowe. I remember vividly the scenes where they hid the enormous gun under a float in the cathedral to hide it from the French.
I do wonder where they shot these scenes.
Floats For The Palm Sunday Parade In Seville
After seeing the Metropol Parasol, I wandered through a few churches looking at the floats for the afternoon’s Palm Sunday parade.
In some ways, I find these sort of Holy Week parades obscene. All that gold, silver and expense, when in many places in the world, there is a great deal of poverty and starvation.
If you reckon this is all too ostentatious, then look at some of the churches in Ecuador and other parts of South America. It does seem that Pope Francis is trying to move the Roman Catholic church to a different and more humble plane.
But will he succeed?
