The search for great instant coffee
Starbucks have finally released their instant coffee in the UK. This is the stuff that’s supposed to be as good as any fresh ground coffee and means that you can enjoy a cup of Starbucks quality coffee at home, without the hassle of brewing, percolating or grinding.
I bought a small packet to try but never [...]Mar 9th, 2010 | Filed under Personal -

The last week or so…
…has been manic.
Not really in a bad way, although, I think I have reached capacity and could do without anything new and interesting happening over the next week or so just to give me time to work through what’s already taking place.
I am in the middle of preparing for preaching on Sunday at Manor Park [...]Mar 4th, 2010 | Filed under PersonalTags: my life -
Tuesday night football – a wet evening in Wycombe
Last night I got an evening out with some friends from Southampton and went to see some football.
It was a pretty poor state of affairs to be honest. Wycombe’s home ground is shared with London Wasps rugby club, and you could tell by the state of the pitch. When the football hit grass it bounced [...]Feb 24th, 2010 | Filed under Personal -
God: New evidence
Do we live in a universe created by accident, or was there a design and a purpose behind our environment?
God: New evidence is a series of videos examining some of the theory behind the universe, looking at the issues of how we can exist in the way that we do, in what has previously been [...] -
The curse of the common cold
I feel rough. It’s not the flu, man flu, the plague, pox or pneumonia – I simply have a cold – but, boy I feel bad.
The great thing, after almost a week of going downhill, I now feel a little better and on the mend. The bad bit, I’ve been at home for most of [...]Feb 17th, 2010 | Filed under PersonalTags: my life -
Part of a shared experience
I know Paul in as much as I read his rather excellent blog, we both work for organisations that long to see people get the Bible in a language that really speaks to their heart, and occasionally we’ve sent each other e-mails, Facebook messages or DM through Twitter. I think I can call him a [...]

Burkina Faso on video – the story of my first visit to an African country
Eddie recorded some video of me on our trip to Burkina Faso. Opinions, scenery, pot holes and a loud shirt! What else would you expect from a trip to Africa.

Skiing in the Italian Alps
I’m fortunate to have some wonderful friends who decided that Tany and I needed to go on a skiing holiday with them. So, last week I learnt how to fly down the side of a mountain with a couple of skis attached to my feet and not die.
Day one was a bit shaky, with me [...]Feb 8th, 2010 | Filed under Personal -
Back from Burkina – photos from the trip
I’m not going to write much now. We got back to the UK at 8am after flying overnight from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. I don’t sleep well on planes so think I probably only got about 20 minutes kip during the trip – I’m now really struggling to concentrate and can’t guarantee that anything I would [...]
