OK OK…. OK! Just no more takeaway please!!

So I’ll admit I’ve been a bit reluctant to write my blog in a while.  It’s a mixture of being too busy and laziness.  Shame on me!  Well I’m gonna make more of an effort.

It’s been an interesting week for sure.  Had some time off at the beginning of the week and chose to relax and spend some time with my family.  Managed to record a demo of a new song which I’m really chuffed with.  With the help of some friends I’m starting to get the hang of mixing too.  Thursday night I played at Craighalbert church near Croy.  Was treated to lovely Chinese food before hand.  The evening went well and it was great to see some familiar faces.  Had a nice chat on the drive home with Craighalbert’s Pastor John Dick.

Friday was my son James’ last day at primary school.  We went golfing in the afternoon and treated him to a Chinese takeaway for dinner. He left for camp Scout camp Saturday morning so made good use of the time together.

Saturday it was on the train to Rochdale.  The weather was hot and, despite being put on the wrong train to Blackburn, I made it to Rochdale where I met Pastor Wayne Hudson.  I was invited to play and share at an outreach day, including lots of fun activities and a BBQ, by Branches Fellowship church in Rochdale.  The event went really well, met some really nice folk from the church and the estate, and had Indian takeaway for dinner. It was gooooood eatin!

I was up early bells Sunday morning to catch the train from Bolton to Edinburgh, met my wife and baby daughter and went for a picnic (M&S) before jumping on a train to Aberdeen shortly after.  Arrived in Aberdeen at 17:20 as I was playing at an outreach event at Deeside Christian fellowship.  It was another good evening.  The weather was just glorious!

Finished the evening off with some local ice cream (they must have been speaking to my wife), great fellowship, some prayer, and a train journey home the following morning.  Looking forward to some mince & tatties!
