Bishop Leonard Wilson Memorial @ Askrigg Church, Wensleydale

My first ever visit to the Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in Taipei ~ for an NCCT (National Council of Churches of Taiwan) meeting…..

Holy Trinity is quite some church, on the 4th floor of a huge apartment block…. And the view’s quite some view!  And so of course, the meeting was quite some meeting!

A Summer in Sedbergh – and quite some summer!  Tourists galore soaking up the sunshine, browsing in the bookshops and hiking up the Howgills, while the locals are enjoying the summer weather walking their dogs, and smiling at increased trade in the town… Meanwhile I’m busy sorting, clearing, packing and driving up almost daily to the Sedbergh Charity Shop to offload box after box of all sorts of wonderful stuff, now all on display inside the shop and outside on the street.  If you’re up this way, do come and check it all out – there’s some great bargains on … Continue reading A Summer in Sedbergh….

Saying goodbye is never easy, and every year as graduation nears, so we get ready to say congratulations and goodbye to another group of lovely students ~ this year the Chaplaincy Student Fellowship is saying goodbye to more than 20 of their group who graduate this weekend….

Last night was the farewell 送舊 event, the students in years 1-3 saying goodbye to the graduating students in year 4 … Continue reading St. John’s University Student Fellowship 送舊 YA!
