Afternoon Tea at Tiffeny’s, and other randomness

March 2nd 2011

It’s been a busy couple of months, but as I now have the internet working at home and the rare luxury of  a free evening, I’ve decided that it’s about time my blog came back to life again, so here’s an update on life:   I think I’m over my mini crisis of faith, and [...]

Merry Christmas!

December 25th 2010

I’m spending Christmas loitering on the Essex/Suffolk border with TractorGirl and her family. The aforementioned TractorGirl landed in MK on Tuesday, and I’ve really enjoyed having someone to come home to after work.

Why £9000 a year is wrong

November 15th 2010

I come from a very ordinary background. I was born and raised on an impoverished council estate in Preston, Lancashire by two ordinary people. My mother is a housewife (and cleaning obsessive, but that’s another story… ) and my father trained as a painter, decorator and joiner before ending up down sewers (which oddly enough, he [...]

Bangs and Brummies

November 8th 2010

This weekend consisted of some much needed chilling out and relaxing. On Saturday, I headed to Birmingham to meet up with TractorGirl and go to a GCN gathering. We had an hour to catch up and chat before joining the others for some time praying in a church near the Bullring and then on to [...]

One Bible – Two Testaments

November 5th 2010

I’m part of a group called Bible School which meets in the home of the person who runs it on Thursday evenings. We study the Bible in the sense of looking at the background, origins and usage of it, and in the past I gather the group has also spent time wrestling with doctrinal issues. [...]
