Dear Friends
I’m writing this letter in the middle of January and it’s wet and cold and grey outside. I’ve just spent half an hour on my exercise bike desperately trying to keep my New Year’s resolution to get fit going… and it’s hard.… Read the whole story
As I stopped by, that dark night,
Three roe in a gateway stood;
They seemed bemused by my light
So far from their darkened wood.
They stood ungainly and peered
Like kids or lambs fill’d with glee;
And then by magic appeared
Another to join the said three.… Read the whole story
We left our explorers investigating the sights of Perth and surrounding areas, whilst waiting for better weather…
As mentioned in our last chapter we didn’t want to venture too far north until the end of April so we were still exploring Perth and the surrounding area well into April and decided it was one of the nicest areas we’d been to so far, but as we said before, it’s just so far away from the rest of the world.… Read the whole story

Dear Friends & Neighbours,
As we head into Autumn, I’m reminded of the words from Ecclesiastes 3:1-13 that were read at the Queen’s Service of Remembrance at Edinburgh Cathedral;
‘There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot…’
For me as a Christian, Autumn with its harvest of crops and fruits is a wonderful reminder that no matter what is happening in the world the seasons keep turning and there is always hope of new things and times to come… even if in the moment we find it hard to feel the hope.… Read the whole story
