Standing at the beginning of 2021 is no different from standing at the beginning of any other year. We cannot tell the future and there is not one who could have predicted the world being shut down. So where do we go from here? I started to list all the negatives, deaths, lost businesses, stretched […]
Let me start by saying I love the Lord and am passionate about the transforming power of the gospel. I love my family, love cycling, love kayaking, love a beer, love all sorts of music, but on this occasion I want to tell you about a passion I’ve had for over 40 years ….. the Stones! […]
There is no doubt its tough. My family are distant from me, Germany, and Lincolnshire. Close friends distanced by Covid 19. The pub distanced by Covid guidelines. I need the interaction of my family; I want the interaction of my family. I need the interaction of friends; I want the interaction of my friends. Tier […]

I waited for the email to drop through the letter box. It was expected but not wanted. To receive the email was confirmation that I was on the list of people who had had their details hacked from EasyJet. This is the second time, British Airways being the first. So the email was expected and […]
‘You play good cop and I will play bad cop, hopefully we can drag a confession out of this guy.’ There are probably many, many scenario’s, in many films where the ‘good guy – bad guy’ scene has been played out. It fits a basic construct, cowboys and indians, cops and robbers, good against evil, […]
I can’t help but think there are some parallels between what is happening in the world today with Covid 19 and ancient history from the time of the Egyptians.
