Every day we post a Thought for the day written by someone within the circuit. Some are very light hearted and some are very deep theologically with all bases between covered.

I recently had to go to Llandudno in north Wales. It wasn’t a holiday, but to visit an elderly aunt who is in hospital. Having sat with her for several hours, on the hottest day of the year, I decided to try and get some fresh air, so went for a walk along the west…
Way back in the early nineties, we had a holiday in the village of Morwenstow slightly north of Bude in North Cornwall. We stayed on a farm and were fed sumptuous meals by the farmers wife and the children were encouraged to go and pick eggs from the hen hut for breakfast and could watch…
