Peter said: “I am going fishing!” They caught nothing. On returning to the shore, Jesus asked: ” Children, have you got some food?” They said: “No!” Jesus said: “Put your net on the other side.” They did.
It was so full that Peter put some clothes on and swam to shore. He knew it was Jesus who did this for them. The others came in a little boat. Jesus had already made a fire and cooked bread and fish. “Bring some of the fish you caught,” he said…” And come and dine!”
This was the third time Jesus had appeared to them after He had been resurrected.
John 21: 3- 14 (What a treat fish and chips I mean fish and bread prepared by Jesus.)
A day on the East Coast of Scotland:
10:10am
11:24 Aberdeen
Aberdeen is a port city in North East Scotland where the Dee and Don rivers meet the North Sea. Looking at the clean grey of the buildings covered with a layer of rain, it is easy to see why the city is called the Granite City. The granite is of very good quality and needs little maintenance.
With the weather the way it is, the art gallery is the best place to spend time in. A delightful place where they allow photographs for personal use. I will give you a link to hear the currator and see some of the paintings (but not my personal pictures. )Their use of technology was superb in allowing one to paint a design on a pot and see how it was fired with oxygen and less oxygen. I can only recommend it as an informative, relaxing, pleasant place to spend time.
We are travelling, so the next place is Stonehaven.
Stonehaven has a harbour, consisting of two basins. It was improved in the 1820s by the engineer Robert Stevenson (grandfather of the author Robert Louis Stevenson).
The Highland Boundary Fault that I mentioned when on the Isle of Arran on the West Coast stretches to immediately north of Stonehaven on the East Coast.
Small sculptures of fishing boats dot the walk along the sea. Here are a few as they give an idea of the colours of the bay in afternoon sunlight.
The notice on the newest model of a fishing boat reads
The Harvester
After working for over 50 years at the sea, it’s time for the ” two lane” (?) to hang up their nets for the last time and enjoy their retirement years.
Happy Retirement 2022
Notice on a board.
I will show time and tide waits for none of us. The first photo shows the tide when we started walking the bay, and the second when we returned, this is seen by how many steps the water has taken.
Our beautiful Earth.
