This week I’ve been the recipient of several compliments…and no, none of them were from my hubby! First at work earlier this week, I attended a meeting (which I do quite frequently!). At this particular meeting was someone I’ve known for a while because they have worked with some of my colleagues, however I personally [...]

In a world full of hatred and despair, there is a great need…a great need for Jesus. That’s why although we may have different beliefs and serve God in different ways in different churches and organisations, we must work together as one global church to fight evil and lead others into a relationship with Christ. I [...]

Well today my hubby reached the big 5 0 ! Before I go any further I must point out that I of course am much younger than my husband! My life was in the balance last week when I passed on some photos of hubby from the past to work, so they could celebrate hubby’s birthday [...]

…sadly, this is often how it can feel when you have no children and all those you spend time with, have kids. Before I go any further with this blog post I just want to clarify a couple of things following my blog post Childless = Alone from Friday night: I really do love children, I’m [...]

One of Sandy’s friends is the secretary for the Alva Highland Games so has been asking us to go along for the last few years, however until now, we’d not taken him up on the request.. So today Sandy and I intended to attend the Alva Highland Games. For me, this would have been the first highland [...]

Last night I told you about the opening of the long awaited M74 motorway which links the existing M74 to the M8 motorway at the far side of Glasgow city centre. Today though I want to ask you what may seem like a daft and maybe pointless question, but it’s one that’s got me curious for [...]

At a time of austerity, the idea of spending more than half a billion pounds on a five-mile stretch of road might seem strange to some. However the M74 extension in Glasgow which opened at 7pm tonight, cost approximately £657m, which works out at about £131m per mile. This extension consists of five miles of an elevated six-lane highway [...]

Read any newspaper or any on-line news page or turn your TV onto any news programme and you’ll find there’s nearly always news of someone somewhere having been murdered or seriously injured in what is said to be “an unprovoked attack”. Tragic events which shock the community in which the crime has taken place. Tragic events [...]

How many of you have been watching The Scheme on BBC1? It’s a documentary about the high and lows of life for a number of people who live in a large housing estate in Kilmarnock (near Glasgow). I’d heard a number of people talking about this series…not always in the best light, so I thought I should [...]
