Sorry I've gone AWOL from the blog for the whole of September. Just a really busy time plus a holiday AND a retreat :-)and followed rapidly by a return to college so not much time to write. Here's a visual update: Views of Lock Eck and Glencoe and discovering the secret valley on holiday in... Continue Reading →
I am very late with my New Year Greetings this year but not 9 months late, just 9 days. I meant to put this post up on Sept 1st which always feels far more like New Year to me than January 1st ever does. Not alot changes in January apart from a number. Whereas in... Continue Reading →
I found myself reading Matthew chapter 10 this week. As chapters go it has more than it's fair share of challenging verses. Jesus sends his disciples out telling them to take no bag for their journey, no money, no extra clothes. He warns them they'll be hated and chased from city to city. He tells... Continue Reading →
We have recently been in touch with the other owners of puppies from the same litter as our beloved Bobby dog. So here is a slideshow of Bobby and his brothers and sisters! 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 →
Dory, the little blue fish in Finding Nemo has to be one of my favourite children's film characters. She suffers from amnesia and confusion but somehow manages to hold on to her friends, her sanity and her sense of purpose, summed up by her catch phrase 'Just Keep Swimming'. In other words when you're not... 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 →
Okay, Okay I know reading through the Bible in one year is the gold standard for mega super Christian keenies but I'm a slow reader. Actually that's not true. However, I have recognised the fact that in my private devotions I like to do more than simply read: I like to mull, underline, highlight, make notes. I also... Continue Reading →
I have decided I like rivers. I used to want to retire by the seaside (David still does!) but now I'm thinking a house on a river bank would be much more peaceful. There's all that back and forth business with the sea: tides rush in and drag out and then, if you're out on... Continue Reading →
