On Sunday I ate cake for breakfast, lunch, tea and supper! Cake was just about the only thing I ate on Sunday - it was Gran's birthday. How fitting a celebration for someone with life-long love of cake? Once asked by her two grand-children if she could speak any other languages she said 'Yes' very... Continue Reading →

Many vicars dread the Christmas season and not without reason, it's a full on period with lots of extra services. But compared to this time last... Continue Reading →
We are all told these days that we should be 'listening to our bodies' and what is usually meant by that is that we should become aware of the signals our bodies give us when we are under stress or over tired. The idea is that when you are not giving a voice to how you are... Continue Reading →
At the start of this week my Lectionary (it's a set of readings for the Anglican church) told me we were now in 'ordinary time'.
