Early this week, I had the opportunity to visit the Diocese of Uppsala as part of the link with @dioceseofllandaff.bsky.social. It was an extremely life giving and interesting trip, with much to reflect on as I prepare to start my ordained ministry.

The annual day of waiting for a phone call. The relief of getting the phone call, and the car has passed its MOT!
On this #internationalchoristerday I give thanks for those who nurtured me musically, but also in my faith as a chorister when I was younger. I also thank God for all those musicians who enrich the churches worship Sunday by Sunday! Deo Gratias!
