This morning the machine really will be unplugged, and boxed off – should have been done yesterday really, but ……. Anyway I know I’ve gone on at length about the people I’ll be leaving behind but not so much about the place. So I thought I’d leave you with my mini guide to the area [...]
This should be my last post for a while. Within the next 24 hours the computer will have to be unplugged and packed, as well as everything else. On Sunday we start the journey north to arrive in the North East on Monday, after having got the flat back to a state that looks “professionally [...]
Monday afternoon was mainly spent in the CMS Blah tent having decided that, whilst it was a close call, listening to Andrew Jones (aka Tall Skinny Kiwi) talk on being missional via the internet and Jenny McIntosh talk on Spirited Exchanges was going to be slightly more useful to me than doing [...]
It’s not often that the Brits can be credited with exporting something successful to the US, rather than the other way around. However, according to Brian McLaren we’re in the process of exporting the Spirit of Greenbelt. It appears that plans are afoot for a US Greenbelt type gathering.

It’s been a very sociable festival, Wib Meet, Ship Meets; various catching up to say hi type things. Met lots of lovely people, and realising how blessed I am to be part of these networks – full [...]
Ok, anybody reading this over the weekend is probably (i) not bothered about a certain festival or (ii) really fed up they’re not there and so I was going to avoid the subject at all today. However, having noticed the differences in the way “the religious” press are covering the event thought it was worth [...]
Today I feel that it might be appropriate to crack open the bottle of very well chosen wine my boss gave me as my leaving prezzie from her, as I have gotten home to find out I have an address from the beginning of September…………..Hurray
What with that and it being my last day in work [...]
Ok, please keep an eye on the boards & please contribute so we can sort out if it will be the Organic beer tent or the Tiny Tea Tent.
The issue is not a big one and I certainly don’t want to get into a slightly toasting thing, (I don’t think I have the ability to [...]
