Stuff about me
I am a Church of Scotland minister living by the sea. This blog holds my current ramblings on faith ... life and all the random clutter in my head. My old blog from June 2006 – August 2010 was called Rumours of Angels. It is now private view only. If you would like permission to view just leave a comment.
