Rain gloss and moss
Jesus is speaking: ‘ Seek first for the kingdom of God and His righteousnes…don’t worry about tomorrow it will look after itself. Today has troubles of its own to look after.’ (Sandy’s shortened form read it for yourself Matthew 6: 33,34.) January 2026 saw over 150-180 % of the long- term rainfall for the region,Continue reading “Rain gloss and moss”
Many, few, one.
Snowdrops with the oaks The meadow mud squelches under tread and clings to boots. There, can you see that white beyond the heavy oak branches? There stand the ‘ helmitted’ snowdrops. Thick green sharply pointed leaves with antifreeze in stems against that chill, fierce wind. Tufted or grouped between the grass, last years leaves andContinue reading “Many, few, one.”

Looking to Jesus
The garden is very wet and yesterday Roy and I were really tired. I spent time reading the Bible and listening to what I thought was an interesting sermon taking into account the talk that there may be a third temple in Jerusalem. I will not write about that instead I will leave that toContinue reading “Looking to Jesus”
The garlic and the rose

It is Solomon speaking: ‘ A person that has friends must be friendly.’ Proverbs 18:24 ‘ The wounds of a friend are faithful but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.’ Proverbs 27:6 ‘ Perfume makes you happy so does good counsel from a friend.’ Proverbs 27:9 Today IContinue reading “The garlic and the rose”
Wisley January 2026
‘Those sticks, the white ones, do you think someone has painted them?’ My voice was heard by a lady dressed in prime colours, red and blue: ‘ I doubt it ‘, was the answer. ‘ I know that was a silly question but do you know what plant it is?’ A voice coming from theContinue reading “Wisley January 2026”
…so the garlic stayed on the windowsill…
Here are is a way of how God thinks of us: Like mathematics: ‘ How precious are Your thoughts of me, Oh God how great are they when added up to make the sum. If I could/should count them , they are more in number than the sand: when I wake up I am stillContinue reading “…so the garlic stayed on the windowsill…”

Always be thankful no matter what happens, for that is God’s will for you who belong to Jesus Christ.’ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Then from the Psalms: ‘ Say thank you to theContinue reading “From Dover to the garden”

The Bible. I’m writing this as we board the ferry, we will soon beContinue reading “Le Crotoy in/on the Bay of Somme”
THE EARTH and sky
We have travelled from Portugal through Spain and France and here are four photographs that show our Earth as dominant to sky in the space taken in the photograph. I have then chosen four Bible verses showing God’s feelings about the EARTH. The strongest one is taken from the book of Revelation as well asContinue reading “THE EARTH and sky”
A Sabbath walk along the Loire
First here are three verses I thought about today. These communicate my true/real love of Jesus, God’s son, and they carry no other meaning than that I believe as all Christians do in Christ as our Saviour. Jesus is talking to Thomas during the last supper, a meal Jesus ate with His disciples before HeContinue reading “A Sabbath walk along the Loire”
