It is hard to believe, sitting here right now, that the Pill chapter is almost over (still 4 days in command!). We had a good meeting this morning, and it wasn’t as difficult as I though. I think I moved into that mode that you go into when you’re doing things like funerals…you know, the … More Farewell Sunday!
Hey…I did warn that blogs would be few and far between until we moved to Wick…but we’ve also just come back from 12 days furlough in sunny (HAHAHA) Cornwall. Well, the sun did shine for a few days, but the gales and torrential rain were the norm! Our campsite was perched on the edge of … More Back…for a sec
Having just posted about an hour ago that I wasn’t going to be blogging as regularly, here I go again. I am sensing a change in myself that I am so relieved about. I’ve had this before…I had it when I went to training college. I am going to try and explain it because maybe … More Reflection 2 – changing roles
I hope you can forgive a bit of a quieter blog over the next little while! The next three weeks for us are packing as well as tying up odd ends at the corps. Then we are taking our two week summer holiday. Then its our farewell weekend, then we are off to back to … More Reflection 1
….saying goodbye! I’ve started to attend the last of several things I attend: meetings, groups, people etc. Last night I said bye to some friends from my ceilidh friends. Ceilidh is the gaelic word for ‘gathering’ (a ceilidh isn’t just a dance…in fact, its not really got anything to do with dancing… ceilidh is a … More Its started already!
So we are off to Scotland tomorrow on holiday. Staying a few days with my mum in Irvine (about 400 from here)then taking the extra 350 miles up to Wick! :o) It will be interesting to get a feel for the place, sort our some practical stuff, and get some video footage to settle the … More Up North
Picture of Wick Corps Hall Well, the Clarks are heading to Wick Corps, North Scotland. We are being succeeded by Majors Alan and Carole Young…which is a real answer to prayer for us. As for our appointment, I leave you with my blog from the 1st Novemeber 2006: Prophesy for Scotland The Lord desires to … More Moves
Now…you can normally jig a merry dance around me when I am asleep and I’d be none the wiser. I normally sleep like a baby (whatever that means!). But here I am at 3am wakened. I’ve been asleep for three hours, but then Ben wakes and moans about something, Tracy gets up to check him, … More Insomnia Attack
So, the brain is pretty frazzled this week what with ‘the appointment’ due to arrive on the doorstep this Thursday. I’m excited about the new prospects, whatever they may be. I’m busy enthusing people about the next stage of Pill Corps history, recognising that some can’t wait until we’re gone and some people would rather … More Its all in the brain!
So…we announced to our corps today that we are expecting farewell orders on the 8th February. Its one of those annoying things you have to keep under your hat until the last minute, but I feel a little bit of relief at having told the corps. We shared it with our leadership a couple of … More Under Farewell Orders!
