If I do go for a walk in the evenings I always go with my husband as it is much safer for both of us. I can never understand why women do walk about alone after dark, especially those who are coming home from night clubs and dressed in such a way that it adds to the danger.

I never go out at night. I prefer to be tucked in safe with my husband, children and kitties. On the rare occasion that I am out after dark, it's always with my husband, never alone. I love your blog and can't wait to read more of your homemaking wisdom.Lisa Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-31628965976979972382015-10-01T00:10:23.489-06:002015-10-01T00:10:23.489-06:00Sad to say but when I was a young person I didn...Sad to say but when I was a young person I didn't give much thought to my personal safety. I lived in London and traveled across the city at night by myself using public transport. Then one night (early evening) whilst waiting for a bus to go to a Bible study I was jumped on from behind and assaulted. Thankfully, at that moment the bus turned the corner and the offender ran off. I was unharmed but shaken and it was a wake up call. Now I live where having a car is essential and have to drive into the city. So many church activities, especially for women take place in the evening and I suppose it is because so many women work during the week. I was the victim of a road rage incident on my way to a woman's event at my church and following that I was reluctant to drive at night by myself. So during winter I don't tend to go out to such events and much prefer it when there is a social event for the whole family such as a barn dance or potluck dinner. I finally put up a blog post today but then Blogger lost all my text which was so disappointing as I so wanted to catch up people like yourself with what has been happening these past few months. It's mainly photos as I did not want to rewrite the post but do pop over for a visit! I appreciate your though provoking posts Roxy. Perhaps this one will be a lifesaver for someone if it makes them think twice about going out by themselves during the hours of darkness.Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-88501658594168312412015-09-28T22:07:23.895-06:002015-09-28T22:07:23.895-06:00So very true Roxy!

There had been several break ins and the neighborhood behind ours is full of crime. Sad when we were free to ride our bicycles even past daylight. I miss those days of innocense.

For thousands of years people always did all that needed to be done during the daylight. People didn't go visiting or shopping or whatever in the darkness. Electricity has made it more convenient to do many things that could only be done in the daytime in the past. We live in such a go-go-go society and people are so stressed out from the business of it all. Maybe the evenings are supposed to be for down time. Maybe God intended it to be that way? Just wondering. Sorry for such a long comment. Your thoughts have been what I've been thinking of lately.<br />--AmandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-16058887784765071122015-09-28T09:45:10.085-06:002015-09-28T09:45:10.085-06:00Thank you.

Modern women may think we have "a right" to do as we please when we please, but that in not way negates the dangers that may be present. We must be "wise as serpents". We know what evil is lurking, and just because we may not be harmed by it in a given situation in no way negates the risk and dangers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-57376004362330666492015-09-27T23:35:38.553-06:002015-09-27T23:35:38.553-06:00This is something to think about.
