• Overheard in the Bookshop

    The scene is a very busy bookshop. A bepigtailed elderwoman protagonist approaches the information desk. She pauses for a moment and then asks…

    “Excuse me, Religion is…?”

    Her bearded interlocutor pauses for a moment and then replies….

    “Religion is in the gold room, just up the stairs.”

    He pauses once again, and then asks, “Or were you looking for a more esoteric answer?”

    One of the most extraordinary services I've taken here in Bridge of Allan was the week that a pipe band turned up, in full kit, for the 8 am Sunday Service. The eight o'clock is usually half a dozen of us, most more than 20 years older than me, enjoying the first, quiet light of…
