Grandchildren can be such fun! They may be tiring to entertain, but it’s so worthwhile. As you help them understand the world, they draw you into a different way of seeing it yourself. And oh! how you have to laugh at yourself!

A Letter to Her Majesty, September 2022
I don’t get overly emotional at hearing news items. But yesterday I burst into tears. Our beloved Queen has passed on. I wish she knew how much I appreciated her!
Surely you can’t be serious?
Some of the testimonies we heard at New Wine were so extraordinary, they’re too good not to share. Surely God doesn’t speak to people nowadays?? Or DOES he? And if so, what impact does it have on their lives?
Out of the Ditch
I’ve more to share from New Wine, but meanwhile I thought you might enjoy an old-fashioned John Hearson mishap-and-embarrassment story. I often look back affectionately to those cringe-worthy days when I was a 19-year-old student. God provided an army of very kind people to look after me!

I’m bursting to share about our remarkable 5 days at New Wine in Peterborough. You’ll be encouraged, awe-struck, intrigued, or perhaps infuriated! (which is fine with me but please let me know…)

Miracles in the Midst of War

Blisters and Blessings
Blisters can ruin your walking holiday. Fortunately, on our adventure in France, we were marvellously supported by our fellow travellers (or pilgrims). The blessings we received, and hopefully gave, greatly enriched our holiday.
On the Chemin – Back to the Future?
Whether it’s a walking holiday or a pilgrimage, the Chemin de St Jacques provides lots of time to reflect. As a weary traveller, I found myself being drawn back nearly 50 years to a special time of my life. But I’m looking back in order to move forward!
The Chemin de St Jacques – an Ideal Holiday?
This week, here’s a straightforward account of our walking holiday-cum-pilgrimage. Would this be the holiday you would choose?
