Sometimes I look up at the sky and wonder, "Is there intelligent life on other planets?" I don't get out cycling nearly enugh as I'd like, and the chance of combining a ride with a chance to see some shooting stars, with the Earth going through the Perseid cloud there's no better time to go …

Food…
...and drink. The Huddersfield Food and Drink Festival to be exact, which is an imaginatively named festival celebrating food and drink in Huddersfield. Bet you didn't guess that from the title. Friday evening was the second evening, and the first of the late night events — the food and drink (mostly beer and cider as …
Different horses – different courses
Or different churches for different people. There are a number of traditional models in doing church, and anything new and innovative soon becomes yet another tradition, especially in those churches which claim they are not traditional.

The day the donkey went to church
Family service at Holy Trinity Huddersfield, the theme was holidays, and people were asked to come dressed as they would on holiday. So the human brought me.

On Tuesday there was more informal welcome, a barbecue by members of a couple of house group members. What happened between these two things is interesting. Here's a news angle on it: New Vicar apprehends …
Church makes me sick
Things are not always what they seem. I titled this blog "Church makes me sick," but that is not technically accurate. What I meant was Church makes me ill... no that's still not right - try again... Third time lucky: I became ill because of Church. There, got it right that time. Now for the …
Oh Deer
There's nothing like a good news story, And this is nothing...Seriously though, a story in today's Metro sprang to my attention, An impala escaped from a cheetah by... well read it yourself.Metro, 11th July 2013
