There was a woman on location a while ago called Timna. I thought that was lovely.

It's a biblical place I think ...

New Testament or Old? ‘Biblical’ on this board tends to be shorthand for OT. James and Daniel aren’t generally considered overtly ‘biblical’ in the way that Noah and Josiah would be.
