“Life”

Happy New Year !! I know that some of us will have had some very high highs and some pretty gruesome lows last year, and for the most part, the events of last year will have been somewhere on that spectrum of emotion. It's tempting to arrive at today, the first day of the year, …

Season’s Greetings

View From The PamCam

Today's view from the PamCam is a bit of an emotional one. It's nothing major, just the view of the main road near my house, but it's what it represents that makes it so emotional. You see, I have been in hospital for a little while and today was the first time I was able …

Words that say so much

Pambook – 23rd October 2022

Today is… 23rd October What I’ve been up to today… I led, preached and presided at two services this morning, and then I’ve done some admin and prep this afternoon. It has been a really busy and intense week this week, and I’ve not had the chance (or the brainpower at the end of each …

Pictures From The PamCam

I have spent quite a bit of time at St Mary's today, and thought I'd share some photos with you from my day. Isn't God's creation wonderful? The first time I was there was for a school assembly (full church!!). It was quite foggy outside, and the dampness in the air showed up the spider's …
