Rosie has challenged people to sum up their identity in just four photos from their library. I found this pretty tricky and i guess my choices would change over time. I’m not going to explain each one, so take them as you like:
So, what photos would you use? Pete, Dave, Dan, Ruth, Kirsty, Mark, Sam, [...]
Never try to remodel your kitchen while studying for a degree, moving jobs and helping organise a national conference. It gets a bit messy!
Due to my new post at Arun Community Church, I’ve been asked to write a brief profile of myself for the church newsletter this week. I thought I should post it up here too in case you’re interested:
I was born in 1979 and grew up in Littlehampton with my mum, dad, older sister Keren and [...]
Well, it’s been a long time coming but I can finally let you all know about my job change.
I’ve been working for Spurgeons at The WIRE since I was 19 and trained on the job as a youth and community worker. Over these 8 years I’ve learnt and experienced so much, that I can’t really [...]
Yesterday I was on a 1st Aid refresher course. There were 9 other people in the group - all of them women. When we got to learning baby resuscitation all of us were given a ‘training baby’ and then together we practised the 30 chest compressions, rhythmically pumping the baby’s chests. To help us keep [...]

After reading Dave and Rosie’s blog posts on the new range of PG Tips monkeys that are available, Kirsty has just run down to Sainsbury’s to get her own mini-monkey!
It’s pretty cute and is a welcome addition to our monkey collection, but we now have a lot of tea to [...]
Today I was supposed to be laying down some vocals for the upcoming Spring Harvest Pre School Praise 2 Album. I did some tracks on two New Wine Kids recordings last summer which went quite well, so my mate Andy asked me to come back and do a session for this new album too.
Unfortunately, I [...]
This week is DIY week as I am on “holiday” sorting out the kitchen I demolished at the beginning of January. So far I have ripped out the old kitchen, channeled conduit into the walls, built up a brick wall, and today I quickly learnt the art of plastering (sort of)! Hopefully tomorrow I’ll start [...]
Today the local paper ran a story about the closure of The WIRE. In all, it was a positive piece that focused on the good work we’ve achieved, however there are some problematic statements and halve-truths contained in the article that have already caused some consternation (and it’s only 12:30pm).
In particular, with personal reference, the [...]
