So its been a bit of a whirlwind of a week which has included a trip back to Bristol to deal with some unfinished business in the form of a Crown Court case! Glad to have it behind us and just await the verdict for the person were were supporting.

Its also our Red Shied Door-to-door appeal up here in Wick so its been busy. Collecting is very different here…people are genuinely happy to see you and are so kind and generous. After the first week we’re already ahead of schedule with our target. This evening sees the completion of our ‘Caithness’ collecting. Next week we travel the 30-40 miles and back each night to collect areas of Sutherland, also in our corps district.

The old soldier I was collecting with last night had the right idea…in reponse to his donors kindness he then responded with a nice shiny gospel tract in the form of a coin. People gladly received them. Well done David!
