It’s quiet, I can hear the birds singing, the wind blowing through the trees; something has happened and I am alert in the quietness. It’s called self-isolation! What is happening, I’m out in my car travelling to Cambridge, as I pass Tesco’s the car park is full to overflowing, later driving past Waitrose the car […]
Life is just so busy, and we all make it so much busier simply by trying to become successful. I have lost count of both the number of years and the number of times that I have spoken to friends and colleagues about the need to live a life of significance and value. I have […]
Many years ago, I remember being asked “who are you when no-one is watching?” It came as a bit of a challenge at the time because I could not say, hand on heart, that my private life quite lived up to my public life. There were never massive issues in my life, but there were […]

The doing is often more important than the outcome.” But what would we say as followers of Jesus? For longer than I can […]

An EPIRB is meant to help rescuers locate you in an emergency situation, and these radios have saved many lives since their creation in the 1970s. Boaters are the main users […]
So, I took the dog for a walk the other day, I had decided to go to the coast with him as he literally runs non-stop for an hour chasing birds and waves then will sleep all day. We were plodding around like normal in the mud and I came across a lump of green […]
