  • My heaven … … their hell !!

    The BBC program outrageous wasters replays early friday morning, worth staying up for if these clips are anything to go by! Especially since I missed the first showing of it. I’m not sure we have room for the 15 tv’s that they found in one house. Having said that… the culture of me me me…

  • What would you put here? REPLIES!!

    It seems that they were listening… I have four so far and counting. You can see the original sheet here

  • Old mail and Greenbelt

    After a fleeting visit to the old house in Llanrug this weekend, I discovered amongst the mountain of mail, a number of strange letters from the TV licensing people, Why is it you cannot have a house without a television these days??? Also a christmas card with £30 in it And A plethora of Greenbelt…

  • Farmers Market

    We have discovered the delights of the local farmers market!! Oil from Anglesey, Buffalo steaks from Halkyn Mountain, Beer from Abergele, Olives from somewhere hot one presumes. It was almost enough to make a case for an evening service instead of the Sunday Morning. It is only once a month in any case…

  • Heathrow

    It seems a little surreal sitting in a hotel lounge typing this, nevertheless it was rather good to have complimentary copies of the Independent – it seems to be a rather good paper, I do remember blogging about never wanting to read another paper for a while because of the lack of ‘good news!’ After…

  • What would you put here?

    I'm giving these out with my sermon on Sunday!Sanctuary is on the right. It needs space for 200 people to sit comfortably (local funerals are well attended!) It needs to be done at minimum cost. The pews should probably be retained. That is pretty much my brief for the next three years.

  • Ratties!!

    Working hard of course… …on the rat cage. I know it is not a dog, but were getting there, at least rats have four legs and are demanding of attention – sounds like a dog to me. Anyway their little home has now been constructed. All we have to do now is await the little…

  • Weddings

    Weddings – I seem to remember from distant (!) days at St. Mike’s were supposed to be the showcase for the best of what happens in church – this is a particularly painful memory when drawling out ‘Give me oil in my lamp’ with perhaps four or five other strong singers (congregation of about 150)…

  • The useful Romany

    Whilst walking quietly along to an internment (observing not doing) I was accosted by a delightful lady who wanted to know where the friary was – well, I told her, but of course she saw the collar – oh reverend, would you just… …half an hour of life story, of trials and tribulations, you would…

  • six year old writings

    Chloe wrote this the day before ordination, I have just discovered it on the camera!!
