I’m back in N. Ireland for a couple days to do some fundraising for my trip to Uganda this summer. Things are going well and I’m getting more excited! I’m having a coffee morning at my family house tomorrow morning (if you’re free come along!), heading back to Glasgow on Monday.
Spent yesterday in the sunshine in Belfast. Grabbed a quick lunch with a good friend and mentor, had coffee with another blogger friend, and generally just enjoyed sipping iced coffee in the sunshine at Common Grounds while reading (High Fidelity, if you’re interested). Spent the evening with Jill in good ol’ Ballymena.
More later… gotta go clean…

A mix of things from the last few days:
- My phone gave up the ghost today, and I had to go get a new one. Read: I manually had to transfer ALL my numbers from one phone to the other.
- Vicariously attending Q through Scotts‘ liveblogging. This is one of the two conference that I really want to attend someday soon – take note!
- Enjoyed spending Monday night talking with Holly over a bottle of wine. Deep chat.
- Booked my flights to Uganda yesterday – leaving 24th June, back 11th August. Coffee morning at my house in N. Ireland on the 19th April if you’re around?
- Managed to get to housegroup last night for the first time in two months.
- Reading SEED magazine (HT: Ben)
- Found this amazing project: ReCapture
- Off to Sarah’s birthday celebrations later!

Sorry about the blog silence this last week! Spent a few days hanging out with my best friend when she visited Glasgow earlier this week. Was great to enjoy some silly banter and have long, deep chats late into the night…
The rest of the week has consisted of catching up with a few people, job hunting, writing, and talking about coffeehouse ideas a lot. Few folks coming round for a pre-term (for them!) dinner and generally banterous evening. No doubt pictures shall follow soon.
Lots going on in my head. Someday soon there shall be a deluge on the blog front…

I’ve been exploring Etsy for the last few days, and today I took the plunge of signing up and setting up a storefront.
Etsy is an online marketplace for buying & selling all things handmade.
Our mission is to enable people to make a living making things, and to reconnect makers with buyers.
Our vision is to build a new economy and present a better choice:
Buy, Sell, and Live Handmade.
I’m going to be using it to fundraise for my trip to East Africa this summer with Fields of Life. You can purchase prints of some of my photographs on my Etsy store here. Would be grateful if you would spread the word!

I’ve been listening to some new podcasts recently I thought you might appreciate…
First up, the Guildford Boiler Room are hosting ’24/7 Prayer Spaces’, a daily 10-minute podcast in the run up to Pentecost. I’ve really been enjoying having a little it more focus as I begin my days! Find out more on their website here.
Secondly, I stumbled across the website for a conference that took place last month, “A Sustainable Faith“. The conference looks at a wide variety of topics, all orientated around fostering community. I’ve only listened to one podcast so far (Troy Bronsink, talking about ‘adaptive re-use’), but it was excellent and I am very much looking forward to listening to the rest. I was struck by how Troy described us (followers of Jesus) as being ‘artist, artisan, and curator’.
