Minister of Heaton Baptist Church, Trustee of Citizens Advice Newcastle & the Northern Baptist Association, seeker of justice, lover of long-distance walks, follower of Brentford, husband and father.
I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch, Ed Davey, Stephen Flynn, Nigel Farage, Carla Denyer & Adrian Ramsey: your language and your leadership are what shapes the narrative in this country. Please take note and take urgent action with your words.

Today is the day I hit my target of 1,000 miles walking this year.

Fitting that it should be (unintentionally) at one my favourite local places, Cullercoats, while walking part of the coastal path again.

Onwards now to a revised target of 1,500 miles.

Today Heaton Churches Together says farewell to Gail, one of our faithful ministers, who I am privileged to call ‘friend’. Gail retires today and moves on to pastures new.

Huge thanks for all you have done to serve Heaton, Gail, & for your dear friendship. May God bless you in this new season.

Preaching at a neighbouring church this morning, who use the Good News version.

I decided to use my own copy so preached from this for the first time. It felt like a privilege. 🙂

A wonderful wedding this weekend back in the Midlands, in a forest complete with free forest school too! Lots of fun with good friends.

Last weekend, I completed the English coastal path from the Headland, Hartlepool to the Scottish border.

It stretches 131 miles and is stunning! You should walk (at least part of!) it!!

Now time to plan my next walks north of the border to carry it on. 😁

Halfway to my target of walking 1,000 miles this year. 😄

Thine be the Glory, risen Conquering Son!

Endless is the victory, Thou o’er death hast won!

Happy Easter, one and all. Jesus Christ is risen. Alleluia!

Lovely walk today to find the Grotto today. Grateful for the time off and the opportunity to explore more of the local coastline south of the river.

I’ve now essentially walked the entire coastline from Sunderland to Holy Island. 😁
