Sheila Bridge Blog
This morning I confused my dog. For about a week now I have been listening to the New Testament on my ipod while I've taken Bobs for his half hour walk in the mornings. This morning we reached the story of the persistent widow, a story Jesus told to teach us to pray and not to... Continue Reading →
I've been working on my breathing... You'd think that after a near half century of breathing, I'd have mastered it by now. Breathe in, breathe out. Inhale... exhale. The tricky bit is synchronising this action with the necessary front crawl actions of 'face in the water - exhale', then 'face out the water- inhale'. It's much... Continue Reading →
Christmas Greetings to all my regular blog readers - thanks for dropping by. For your entertainment here is this year's Christmas newsletter. Warning: it does contain too many brackets and one moment of, hopefully forgivable, parental pride for eldest child. Apart from that, it should be safe to read but if you don’t like annual newsletters,... Continue Reading →

The puppies are now 10 months old. Their dad was brown miniature poodle and their mum a black and white cocker spaniel. And what... Continue Reading →
I may be in need of counselling: I've just seen Toy Story 3! Yes, I cried. Mind you that's not very surprising, I'd had a lump in my throat just reading a review before I even went! I could feel myself welling up in the opening scenes. By the time the credits rolled at the... Continue Reading →
Our house is stuffed full of bags. We have bags on the landing, in the hall, the kitchen, in the lounge. The other day I found 3 more HUGE bags in the shed which apparently don't even belong to us and was told we are just housing them for someone else! That's nice, shame I'm not charging...

Sunny day, Early July, Beautiful Location, Family Celebration! Thank you Bath for being the setting of yet another happy family moment. Sadly it was also a farewell event as the occasion was our daughter's graduation. After four happy years, the wider world beckons... The day had all the necessary elements of a Bridge Family occasion. Dad: route-planning, time-keeping and weather-checking. Brother does 'sleeping in the car' and looking... Continue Reading →
