Travellers’ Tales

by Eddie 20.02.2010

This is probably as near as I will ever get to publishing an autobiography. This 26 minute interview seems to cover most aspects of my life fairly adequately and may be of interest to you. Can my life really be summed up in less than half an hour? If you would like to download the [...]

Snow

by Eddie 06.01.2010

Everyone else will be posting their photos and videos of the snow, so I thought I’d do the same. Towards the end you can see how snowballs form on Bassam’s legs and feet as she wanders through the snow. It is a surprise, then, to learn that dogs have bigger carbon footprints than SUVs (or [...]

Best Kouya Chronicle Blog Posts of the Year

by Eddie 29.12.2009

I thought I’d allow myself a touch of narcissism and work out which was my favourite post from Kouya Chronicle. Actually, in looking back over the last year’s production, I was struck by how much of what I have posted is rather forgettable. That being said, there  is some good stuff amidst rubble. My list [...]

A Non-Conformist in an Anglican Church

by Eddie 26.05.2009

Since we came to live in High Wycombe, Sue and I have been worshipping at Christ Church in Flackwell Heath.  We initially started going there because we have a few friends who are involved in the Church (we were at Bible college with the vicar). This is the first time I have regularly worshipped at [...]

Spring Reflections

by Eddie 27.04.2009

Almost 18 months ago, I wrote a post about the upcoming changes in our lives; wondering what it would be like to live away from Southampton and whether we would be able to find anything as nice as the common where we used to walk Bassam. Fortunately, our house is on the very edge of [...]

Diplomats ‘tweet’ down Madagascar embassy rumours

by Sue 19.03.2009

It seems that more and more people are using Twitter as a way of getting their message across (not me yet though…). When US diplomats became aware of  rumours on the Internet that the deposed President of Madagascar, Marc Ravalomanana, had sought refuge in the US embassy in the capital Antananarivo,  they decided they had [...]

Hiatus

by Eddie 12.03.2009

You may have noticed that I’ve not been posting much of late. This is not because I’ve given up blogging for lent, it’s simply that I’ve got too much to do. As well as keeping up with my normal job (just about), I’m also involved with the Eden to Eternity Tour (book your places now). [...]

My Bruvver

by Eddie 02.03.2009

My brother, Phil, was recently interviewed for the Exiled Preacher blog. I’m somewhat amazed that he got through a lengthy interview without mentioning Sunderland football club, but less amazed that he didn’t own up to knowing me. I could not say that I had a Christian upbringing. Although Mam and Dad attended at Brethren Meeting [...]

A Sunday Afternoon Walk

by Eddie 28.12.2008

Christmas tends to be a reflective time. After what has been a very hectic year, I’ve found myeslf musing on what our move to High Wycombe from Southampton. To be honest, I’ve been so busy that I’ve hardly noticed where I’m living for the last few months, but witha time of quiet the change has [...]

Cold!

by Eddie 02.12.2008

At the weekend, Sue and I attended the Wycliffe Scottish prayer conference. It seems that a good time was had by all, but as I was the main speaker, it is a little hard to give an objective view of how things went. The conference was held in the town of Dunblane, a place I’ve [...]

Hiatus

by Eddie 12.11.2008

It is very unlikely that I will have much to say, or time to say it over the next few days. After my week in the Philippines, a backlog of meetings, jetlag and a few speaking engagements are conspiring to reduce the time I have to read and write. Upcoming highlights are a meeting on [...]

Over The Hill

by Eddie 17.10.2008

As a number of people have noticed on Facebook, I reached my half century today. I’ll be celebrating with a few friends at a Nairobi restaurant that I’ve not been to before. I’m flying home early tomorrow, so I’ll need to pack before we go out. Sue is in Southern Madagascar and hoping to spend [...]
