It is good to worship and today there seemed sadness among our fellow believers. There were prayers for France and the young people and for those ill. The google translate wasn’t too clear and I was glad to take inspiration from being in a garden. The garden surrounds the town’s former Chateau now the TownContinue reading “Sabbath in Angoulême”

From the garden to travel winter 2026/2027
Here is a thought about God written by the poet David: ‘ The LORD is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works. The LORD is near to all them that call on Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him.’ Psalm 145 (Only a few linesContinue reading “From the garden to travel winter 2026/2027”
Alium and Agapanthus
Frozen fireworks in mid-air is an accurate description of three structures in this copper coloured vase, but it wasn’t these that I first noticed when I photographed. It was the first sunlight of the morning and my fascination was more with the shadows than the objects. There is the inside and outside to see. TheContinue reading “Alium and Agapanthus”
Sabbath walk in the Binfield countryside.
Here in the middle of a happening is a question spoken by Elijah: ‘How long are you going to hold two opinions? If the LORD is God follow Him: but if Baal, then follow him.’ And the people were silent. 1 Kings 18 : 21. This question was asked on mount Carmel where there wereContinue reading “Sabbath walk in the Binfield countryside.”
Fragaria ananassa or geum macrophyllum
This post will look at these two plants but first two answers to a question. You decide the question. John is speaking: ‘Whoever commits sin knowingly also breaks the law: for sin is knowingly breaking the law. ‘ John then continues like this: ‘ And you know Jesus was made visible to take away ourContinue reading “Fragaria ananassa or geum macrophyllum”
Circular roots
Here is something said in the context of making straight paths to protect those who are weaker and following peace and holiness. Paul is writing: ‘ See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.’ Hebrews 12:15 TheContinue reading “Circular roots”
The extraordinary ordinary
July, August and September how do you show these warm months. Here are three photographs. It is the ordinary about each that is extraordinary. Ordinary lavender with scabious. Extraordinarily all three stalks bend to the heat differently. A lily and a nasturtium bloom together. The extraordinary for our garden and the ordinary. Then this AmerillaContinue reading “The extraordinary ordinary”
The skeleton tree and leaves that grow
She said with warmth in her voice: ‘ Out of all the trees I look at, it is that one I want to see.’ I looked in the direction that her body had turned to and I was pleased. It is a tree that should have a name in this space. It is the oneContinue reading “The skeleton tree and leaves that grow”

A walk by the Thames
Here are Jesus’s last words: ‘ And , behold I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every person according to their work. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have right to theContinue reading “A walk by the Thames”
Liriope muscari/ border grass
This post will look at one plant but first here is something that made me think! Travel with Plato and the Bible for a while: Plato in his dialogue Phaerus 370BC argued that writing is ‘elixir of reminder, not of memory’ warning that the technology would actually weaken the human mind. Socrates who wrote whatContinue reading “Liriope muscari/ border grass”
