  • Fireworks for the Feast of St John

    Today is the Feast of the Nativity of St John the Baptist. (We only celebrate three birthdays in the church calendar – John the B, his cousin Jesus and Mary, Mother of Our Lord and Aunty of John the B).
    I’ve been on retreat for the last week – something I last did 2 years ago. It has been very good too, looking at wounded healers – Henri Nouwen, Brother Roger, Mychal Judge and John O’Donohoe.
    The town that I’ve been staying in goes rather large on celebrating the Eve of  the Feast of St John, so we got a firework display just before midnight, a big fire by the sea and the local population all turning up to dip their feet into the water at midnight.
    Anyway, here are a few firework photographs. It was a great retreat week and this was a rather spectacular conclusion.

    and speaking of blogging about today, Fr. Jonathan (MadPriest) has told us of his journey up to Glasgow to join you today.

    the rest of us are rather jealous and wish that we had been there, too.

    Frankly, I prefer the versions by Mr Buckley and Mr Handel to this nonsense from the X-Factor. And all people of good taste agree with me.

Firstly, one of those responsible has just been found guilty in an English court. Reading the reports of the court case has been unnerving. It is hard…

  • Myers-Briggs Blog Analysis

    Here is a wheeze. Type a blog url into this webpage and it will attempt to analyse the style of the writing in terms of the Myers-Briggs typology. It gets me bang on. Although I used to identify as an introvert in the first half of life, I think that those days are long gone.…
