Ok what are the Bells up to at present - this week we went up to Newcastle to see Robert Ward get "Licensed" by the Bishop of Newcastle as the Non-Stipendiary Assistant Curate to the St Lukes Spitaltongues Fresh Expressions Initiative Newcastle - which I think ought to be abbreviated to "Express Phlegm Church"- he basically has been given an old church next to the Dental and Medical schools which was closed down due to lack of congregation. The service was a bit boring and religious until Robert was presented to his congregation and there was whopping and a hollerin` with a stampin` of the feet - afterwards there was champagne and cake and JJohn gave a little talk using Robert's name as inspiration - and someone gave him £50,000 for heating as there is none at all, on the night.
Anne has been viral, watching House and Joan of Arcadia on DVD - the latter is a very clever take on Joan of Arc where a 16 yr old girl gets visited by God and given tasks to do (Angus and Debbie like it too!).
Angus signed a letter to Lord Carlile who was quoted in Hansard as saying (after our visit the other week) that we were a disaffected faction who were unrepresentative in our views - OK NOW WE ARE VERY DISAFFECTED!!!
Ruth is back today, Jonny does his SATS for american university tomorrow and we have a family do up in Newcastle with my brother and sister tomorrow.
