It's Exam Results day in Scotland. So I'm resharing a blog I wrote last year about this. My prayers are with everyone receiving exam results today that you may see a path forward, short or long term, but forward no matter what those results say.

Awesome work from @fhscreative.bsky.social @dramaqueentait.bsky.social etc in the @falkirkhighschool.bsky.social show tonight. A truly amazing performance on and off the stage. So many talents on show-and not just the dramatic ones. Something for the whole school to be proud of. Here's to next year!

As we look to take advantage of the May bank holiday weekend, Stirling’s food, drink and live music festival will return on Saturday 2nd May 2026.

One of the many privileges of my work is to truly immerse myself with what a client is doing. With churches, that means attending their services, and sometimes, I get the chance to go one step further.
