This was the most interesting Sunday, nothing in the diary. Good weather so Francoise asked me whether we should go for a walk. It had occurred to me but I don't need half considered it. We find out best decisions are those when we make them together and it was interesting to see how events unfolded in the day. I normally like to get a picture of where we should walk. No such picture occurred,...
A Recent Testimony from Someone Called to Ministry Early Years: Roots I Didn’t Yet Understand When I look back, I can see beginnings that I didn’t recognise at the time.

I've learnt over many years to trust my gut when it comes to what to do . Yesterday I received the December edition of the Mendip Times and chanced to spot the calendar note about a Wells Repair Cafe meeting.
