A most excellent adventure.
Two years ago today, this misfortune struck: Yes, that’s gravity exerting its inexorable pull on our wall-mounted television. You can see the holes in the wall – screws and plugs just fell out of the wall. And yes, the TV … Continue reading
Lockdown 2.0
So here we are, on the eve of a new lockdown. It’s an odd feeling. We’ve done it before, so there’s not quite the same uncertainty that came with round 1, but, particularly for those who struggled with the first … Continue reading
Return to blogging…
Ah, who am I kidding?I haven’t blogged for over a year, apparently. Not really sure why. Somewhere on the spectrum between not sure what to say, and not bothering to say it, in all likelihood.Lots has happened. Maybe I’ll write … Continue reading
Ordination 11 – Training approaches!
You know those people who say they’ll do something and then they don’t (I’m pretty sure Jesus told a story about it…)? That’s clearly me. ‘I’ll keep you posted’, I say. And then I don’t. In my defence, anyone who … Continue reading
Ordination 9 – Bishops’ Advisory Panel.
Well, there should be a whole host of Ordination blog posts between Ordination 8 (written almost a year ago) and Ordination 9, written tonight. But there aren’t. If I ever get around to writing them, they’ll just have to be … Continue reading

It’s been too long. Sometimes I feel like I’ve got so much to write that I don’t know where to start, fearing that once I begin it’ll just be a torrent of ill-chosen or wasted words. Words so desperate to … Continue reading
Finding God in Unexpected Places. Philip Yancey. [book]
Figured I’d ease back into blogging with a book review or two. My aim this year has been to read 52 books over the course of the year. I’ve slightly lost track (as with so many resolutions) but I know … Continue reading

Wounded hands.
Every week during term time, a group of us from church go into a couple of local schools to do assemblies. It’s part of Bible Society’s Open the Book programme. It’s fun. Apart from the weekly difficulties of remembering which … Continue reading

The Amazing Technicolour Pyjama Therapy. [book]
This is a book about chronic illness. It’s written by a doctor who has experienced M.E. This gives it the potential to be good on more than one level, and it is! I should probably point out at the outset … Continue reading
