Here’s a wee video of the Palm Sunday Procession at St Mary’s this year.
I promised people something extra this year. For some reason, people thought I had booked a donkey.
Well, anyone can book a donkey.
Here’s what happened. Many thanks to the guys from the wonderful Clanadonia for making this year’s procession so memorable.
Thank you for introducing the word “stoor” to those of us in the non-Scottish world.
Have you been glowing again?
Honestly, I think that it really says something great when they know, even if in a setting where they might not know!
I agree! As daughter of a C of S one, I’ve spent time in the company of more than my fair share. Some have ‘the aura’ and some, most definitely do not…..
Did we know that the Norwegian for vacuum cleaner is “stoorsooker”?
Huge compliment.
And any time you want to come here and be calm at workmen, feel free. Then I can be free to go somewhere quiet and just lose it, as I have been longing to do for some weeks …
@PamB – we didn’t, but we are delighted.
@Rosemary – thanks but no thanks. Being calm at someone else’s workmen is surely too much for anyone.
@Ruth – the day I was ordained, the wife of a bishop told me my aura was golden. She saw them regularly.
@Hermano David – You couldn’t see the glow for the dust.
@Ritualist Robert – happy to be of service. It is the perfect word for what is produced when you mess with chimneys.
@PamB – delighted indeed!
You couldn’t see the glow for the dust.
It is obvious that the VDW could. Good on yer.
What I now need is somebody to come back and be very very UNcalm at a joiner. Very very unclam indeed – new floor ends two foot short of the wall, and yes, there WAS enough wood. And good neighbour/joiner is hors de combat following a RTA.
Or you could try coming and being very calm at me, if your nerve is good enough.
I once got into a certain amount of trouble over a satirical Scottish Episcopal website. It was a surprise to those who were displeased with me to find that it was nothing to do with me at all. However, along with those who had been in TISEC, I did know who was behind it and…
Eleven years ago today I became a Deacon. It was a wonderful day. I remember having to buy a suit. Once a deacon, always a deacon and it is still a ministry that I feel called to daily. Here is what the ordinal says: The Church is the People of God, the Body of Christ…
Just back in from an evening in the synod hall with 20 members of the congregation. This was prompted by my being told a while ago that it would be good for people to have a chance to get to know me. I’m not sure what that means. After all, I’m such an easy person…
We were singing quite a lot of music either written or influenced by Vaughan Williams yesterday, and so we sang Bunyan’s hymn with some gusto. Indeed, one was belting it out from the altar table thus: Hobgoblin nor foul fiend Can daunt her spirit, She knows she at the end Shall life inherit. Then fancies…
