From the Manse.... I have hand sanitisers in hospitals to thank for the fact that I eventually broke my habit of biting my nails! The frequency of visits to a number of NHS buildings and the ubiquitous application of germ-killing gel and hand wash, resulted in an awful taste in my mouth if I dared

What we leave behind?

From the Manse.... This summer, our National Trust membership card was used numerous times as together we explored old familiar properties along with discovering new, previously unvisited ones.

Buen Camino!

As we walked the last 118 kilometres of the Camino de Santiago from Sarria during the May half term holiday, the phrase "Buen Camino" (translating as 'have a good journey' or 'have a good Camino') could be heard all around us. We said it to those we passed and others greeted us in a simi

Social loneliness

A short theological reflection from Deacon Selina Nisbett. "It is not good for man to be alone. Hitherto all things in Genesis that have been named, were approved of God to be very good: loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good." wrote John Milton in 1645, at a time of great pe

From the Manse... Just a day or so after the celebrations of Christmas, the first sightings of Cadbury's cream eggs were noticed in petrol stations and supermarkets. Of course we have long come to expect this and are very much aware of the rhythm of the shopping year.

The perfect Christmas?!

From the Manse........ Christmas for many can be a difficult time with mixed emotions and feelings that are starkly at odds with all the expectations that abound. There are so many pressures at this time of year — perhaps the greatest being that much elusive perfect Christmas. To enjoy a Christmas
