We are marching in the light of God

11/08/2013

So proud of St Mary’s folk and friends yesterday. A very happy Pride parade through the streets of Glasgow giving out invitations to the Cathedral and generally having fun.

A whole rainbow of people connected to the congregation made it onto the street including church wardens, vestry members, young church folk, readers, LGBT group members and me.

A good time was had by all.

Here are some of the marchers by the stall in the marketplace:

The People’s Warden getting ready to mingle with the people of Glasgow

Kennedy Fraser, the dioesan rep on our Vestry and Lay Reader in Bishopbriggs

One of the Young Church members of St Mary’s teaching us how to do mission.

The afternoon crew at the stall in between answering questions and chatting to people in the crowd:

This calls for Chicken stew (with lots of garlic, ginger and sweetcorn). If you’re too sick to make it – let me know and I’ll sort out a delivery for Sunday.

….surely this should be followed by “Humbug”

You can also suck one help sooth your throat.

A mixture of honey, lemon juice and ground ginger – mix it up thick like a syrup. Don’t scrimp on the ginger.

I know Kelvin, but not about what potions to take, only that it has taken me about 10 days to get fully better from the same thing! Sorry to bring such good news!

I recommend a large hot toddy made with honey, lemon juice and plenty of whisky. It doesn’t do you any good but it makes you feel better!

The malt whisky and floating hat cure works best of all.

You go to bed, put a hat on the bedpost at the foot of the bed and drink the whisky until the hat starts floating around the room…

I often feel a hangover is better than a cold as you’ve done something you enjoy to deserve it

Does a floating biretta have the same effect?

(Don’t tell me – only when it’s snowing)

Well, if it’s the same bug I’m convinced I caught whilst in Glasgow at the end of last month, you have my deepest sympathy.

Come to the country they say.It is healthy, they say.Healthy my eye. I’ve just arrived back from a visit to the country covered in bites from angry swarming flying insects. And I found it hard to sleep because the silence was too noisy.The insect bites are particularly galling as I was covered in copious amounts…
