Lola & Norman News from Jerusalem
Who are we? An elderly but young-at-heart couple of ex-Brits who have been living in Jerusalem for the last 27 years. We daily become more depressed by the misconceptions held about Israel by people all around the world whose heads are filled with the innacurate and often downright false ideas of Israel, the Israeli people and what life is like here, propagated in the media. On our Blog we plan to tell you of everyday events in our lives, interesting places in Israel and do our best to portray life here as it really is and is seldom reported. We often write articles about incidents in our lives which we will also post here.
