The Reluctant Ordained

From sheep to feet

The process is finally complete!

home made socks

and they are really warm!! (and not at all scratchy Hannah!!)

Ashes to ashes…

…dust to dust!

Maggi's book amongst the recycled paper

My study employs an open cast filing system.  So much so that as I’m preparing to move this Lent, it seems a great opportunity to clear the rubble and gather only the important things after the dust has settled.  Lent of course is a great time to do this.  Rather than throw away or recycle some of the paper I’ve been making new paper myself.  I had already made a number of sheets of brand new paper out of the rubbish.  I’m reading this Lent Maggi Dawn’s Giving it up, she speaks about “clearing out the mental and spiritual clutter”  Hopefully the strips of recycled paper I attached to our Ash Wednesday service sheets will serve as a reminder that if we clear away the clutter – all things can be made new!

Top fillings – by request

for pancakes of course!!

All request made during breakfast…  The Top 6 are:

no.1  Chips  (and i’ll add chilli sauce of course)

no.2  Melted mars bar

equal 3rd  Peanut butter and cherry jam

equal 3rd Neopolitan ice cream

no.5  Banana and brown sugar

no.6  Lemon and brown sugar – (it actually made their list!!)

Other suggestions relegated to the recycling bin…

Creamy mashed potato and ketchup…  mmmnnnnn  no

All in a bid to use up those things in the house superfluous to a period of lenten fasting of course.
