Summer Niiiiiiggggggghhhhtts

Nope it's not Grease! .... but Malta!

I was reminded this evening that I haven't blogged in a while so a new academic year resolution is to blog a little bit more which is linked to a couple of other resolutions which I hope to stick to after this summer's Holiday.

Firstly, to do a bit more reading and try to write something on the blog about the books on the desk/bedside at the curatage.
Then there is flickr ... I haven't uploaded photos for quite a while so that would be a good thing to do.

So Summer...
We, Fellow curate S and I discovered a while ago that the dates of our annual summer Hols coincided so a quick search on Ryanair to anywhere with guaranteed sunshine was quickly arranged. I booked them, but someone else ... ahem! ... was meant to sort out accommodation

Time ticked along ... did we have a room, a stable, somewhere to lay our heads? ... NOPE! Drastic action (in the form of a "pastoral visit") was called for. A quick search on the webs favorite accommodation website - tripadvisor showed us lots of interesting but expensive places.

Where should we go? Lets do an alternative search and up popped a possible place... A B&B owned by a Christian Couple in a fishing village called Marascala in the south of the Island. Its Name is Belvanjos. They had a vacancy... yeah! sorted! .... what would it be like, what would they be like... well all we can say is that we definitely made the right choice for us! More on the accommodation in a future blog!

A great time was had ... various books were read which included ... those on the bookshelf ... Reviews later!

Neglect of the Blog again corrected

I seem to be going through seasons of blogging and not blogging!

Once again, it will be corrected by a burst of blogs in the coming days.

I am back on duty since last tuesday, after a great wee holiday around various areas in Ireland in the green machine.

Today I have been preaching at our morning service then down to dublin and tomorrow I am looking at resources & options which can be used for liturgy in churches. Links etc will be available here when I get back to belfast.

Hope all is well with everyone in Blogosphere
