After spending our holiday listening to Winnie the Pooh as read by Alan Bennett the boys are rather taken by the idea of Bumble Bees. Jude has also been learning Rhymes and songs about them and making them at Nursery this week. So it’s all rather appropriate that I feel I’ve got the sensation of being a very busy bee myself this week. I’ve got so much to catch up on and so very little time. Argh! The good news is that the computer is back and had a big repair. Apple Mac’s don’t have major software issues but when the hardware goes- yikes! Thank Heaven for warranty! From Monday I’m going to be at the diocesan clergy conference…perhaps I’l blog my way through that a little. I’ll certainly be tweeting my way along.
In church terms things are going all right- the APCM went smoothly at least. I’m going to buzz off now and get ready for this mornings meeting.
Buzzzzzz!
Maria, who is a Priest in the Church of Sweden (Lutheran) named me as one of her 7 favourite blogs! Thank you Maria for reading my rambles and for bearing with me during this huge transition.
So what are my own seven favourite blogs…..
Made by Petchy- Solveig is just SO creative and I love what she does visually. I am often inspired to do creative stuff not just at home but also in church by solveig’s fab blog.
A Wonderful Exchange- Kimberly
RevRuth’s Rantings- Another Scottish Blogger
msReverendornot- the blog of an Episcopalian Clergywoman. What more can I say but Shoes…and I’m inspired by her 50 books in a year aim.
anyday a beautiful change- I particular favourite Katherine’s blog for this sermon.
Soulemama- The Blog of another inspirational craftswoman and mother.
Finally there is a friend who I’d love to link to but she doesn’t really blog..and I miss her dearly so I am reserving this space for her. She’s a great mum, really clever and fun to be with! So I hope this might just encourage you to blog sometime!
So The Idea is that you link back to me…and nominate 7 favourite blogs!

Well this was our homework about 3 weeks ago! Reuben was ’star of the week’ at school and we therefore had to do Bertie the Bear’s Diary for the weekend. Bertie came home in a thomas case filled with outfits. As we were bad parents and didn’t realise about the diary until Sunday we ended up taking Bertie to church and here you can see him preaching his first sermon.
Sorry for taking so long to respond to my tag Angi!
I am taging-
Thank you Angi…I hope all that hard work is paying off!
