A little excursion to the College Valley, including going up Great Hetha and paddling in the Hethpool Linn, followed by the obligatory stop at Doddingtons Dairy cafe.

Having a lovely birthday now the clan is gathered. Can’t think of a better way to celebrate than at the local with my incomparably beautiful wife and increasingly amusing sons!

50. How did that happen? It’s been quite a journey, but I’ve made it this far. I’d like to go back and tell this little chap that it’s all going to work out ok. I wonder what he’d think? (Probably something like ‘Lose some weight, you *** *******’)

There is so much to celebrate about the life of Pope Francis, and therefore also a deep sense of loss at his passing. He truly set an example of faithfulness to Christ. And how amazing that he has died in the context of Easter with its message of hope for salvation and new life. (1/3)

Today is, apparently, the feast of Bishop Gilbert of Caithness (d.1245). Wikipedia has this gem: “Folklore surrounding St Gilbert [includes] a legend of how he overcame a dragon—or salamander—that was terrorising the country.” Quite a big different between those two…
