I am away at my Diocesan Clergy Conference for a couple of days, and I have had such a wonderful day today I wanted to share it with you. First off was the amazing. journey here. I set off at just after 8.30am and headed south towards Buxton and Derbyshire to get to the conference …

TuesdayMondayTuesday

Is it Tuesday today? Or Monday? So confusing the day after a bank holiday... and we get ANOTHER one next week as well! I've had a busy day today and I'm heading to bed with a happy (ish) heart. (See my prayer at the bottom of my post). First this morning was bible study with …

PamBook – 1st May 2023

Today is… 1st May - the official first day of Spring What I’ve been up to today… nothing too strenuous, just one whole basket of ironing (took me nearly four hours…) and some deep diving into our family tree on Ancestry.co.uk. Oh, and watching the snooker. Waiting to see if my fave Mark Selby can …

Spring Walk

It has been a few months since I last blogged, and I promise, dear reader, that I will fill you in on all that's been happening in another post. Let's just say that life has been busy (!) and that recovery from spinal surgery has meant that I have not had the energy or the …

Lessons in Love

I offered a sermon today on the subject of "Love", with close reference to 1 Corinthians 13 and John 15: 9-17. It was the final part of our six-week sermon series on Jesus Shaped People. Here's the text (with illustrations) if you want to have a read. Jesus talked about love a LOT. It was …

Work In Progress

A short post today to share my latest work in progress with you. As I am still recovering and not able to be out and about as much as I'd like, I am trying to keep my hands and mind occupied with a few things. This little project is part of a bigger one for …

Small Steps

I took my first steps back to 'normality' today, and went to my first church service since the end of November. It felt very strange. It has been the longest I have not been in a church in the last 8 years or so, and as this was my first Advent and Christmas as a …

Night Mail

I've been thinking about trains a lot in the last couple of days. Not sure if it's because of the ongoing strikes and pay disputes or something deeper, but that, along with watching a TV programme last night on how train carriages and the driver's cabs are created, has put me in mind of the …

January in Foxdenton

I am trying to increase my walking distance each day now that my surgical wounds are more or less healed, and this afternoon I went for a little stroll in Foxdenton Park with my husband, Kevin. When we set off to get there (only about 10 minutes up the road by car) the sky was …
