Day 1

So I left at 8 am from what has to qualify as the ugliest monument on the entire east coast. David took all the photos upside down, which might actually improve it. (Cant figure out how to invert photos on a phone, sorry) Feeling sick, I'd been awake from 3am so it already felt like... Continue Reading →

God Particle – something understood

The play I mentioned a few posts ago came to our church last Thursday. It was brilliant, fast-paced, entertaining and thought provoking. It really was a sci-fi romantic comedy, a hard combination to pull off with a high degree of theology and theoretical physics thrown in. I don't want to plot spoil, simply to say...

He remembers that we are dust

I am writing this whilst settling back into a chair in just the right position to hold an ice pack on to my spine between my shoulder blades.

Here is a picture of the approximate route I start at Lowestoft on Monday June 17th and hope that by tea time on Monday June 24th I will be pedalling into St David's having done about 400 ish miles. The average daily... Continue Reading →

Grandpa’s Homecoming

Yesterday we said our final farewells to Grandpa Bill. Out of all the stories the one I can picture the best was the one of him leaping over a box hedge and falling through a patient's front door having executed a perfect Rugby slide along her hall floor. Picking himself up complete with medical bag... Continue Reading →
