• Waste Neutrality, the Eden Project, and saving the planet.

    Wednesday of our holiday in Cornwall, and a visit to the Eden Project! You mostly hear good things about it but occasionally you meet someone that thought it was rubbish. I can see why people might not like it but I thought it was fascinating, beautiful, educational and inspiring. A visit to the Eden Project […]

  • Discovering the National Trust

    It’s the Tuesday of our week’s holiday in Cornwall. Yesterday we did a lovely walk around the bottom of the Lizard from Cadgwith Cove (very near where we are staying) along the coast path to Lizard Point and then on to Kynance Cove before tracking back, inland, to Cadgwith. Today we had a really nice […]

  • Weddings

    Yesterday was the wedding of some good friends of ours. A brilliant day, great church service, good worship, very much a wedding where God was present. A real sense of two becoming one and a change of status in their relationship. It was interesting going to a Christian wedding with a mixed bunch of people […]

  • A couple of birthdays

    It was on the 27th April that I wrote “I give it [Blogging] a month.” So here’s to beating my own prediction. It’s been fun! I give it another month! I was also going to write something profound about the fact that my 30th birthday is coming up but I can’t remember what it was. […]

  • General Saturday Stuff

    After the marathon bike post, a bit about today, which has been nice. I cycled 25.5 miles out to Cricklade and back, the long way. A very nice route and mostly with the tailwind on the way back in. Took just over an hour and a half averaging nearly 17 mph. My best moment was […]

  • More naturewatching

    SO the baby blackbirds have flown the nest, though it looks like a new brood may be on the way sometime…so my interest has turned to these little fella’s that I found outside our house yesterday morning. Looks like some spider’s eggs hatched and there was just a writhing tangle of little legs. Seems that […]

  • A weekend of discovery

    Wow – a week since my last post – you can tell I’m back at work. Things I’ve discovered: Tetrapak’s can be recycled…HOORAY!!! Facebook is a grown-up version of MySpace and, despite my initial scepticism, is quite cool – it even imports Blog posts from Blogger. I’m finding my work quite a struggle at the […]

  • Learning to fly

    So the little ones (the blackbirds – must give them names or something) are learning to fly still. Got a couple of snaps of them today but only with my phone so they’re not so good quality. Here’s daddy on feeding duty…

  • Lots of lovely links and Googlaholism

    Phew – what a glut of posts to start with. I mentioned a few links in my last post and just wanted to make a note about the fact that I’m currently managing my links using Google Bookmarks and Google Toolbar. This works well as it allows me to keep my favourites with Google and […]

  • A funny day

    It’s been a funny day. I woke up feeling great – much more myself – very much an answer to prayer. However, I was just about to leave for the stag day I’m supposed to be at, when I collapsed in a heap and cried. I was wept, on-and-off, and uncontrollably, for about 2 hours. […]
