From Wounds to Living Water (Ros' Blog)
One of my particular pleasures in life is my fortnightly visit to my aunt, my mother’s sister. Aged ninety-four, she is the only surviving one of four siblings, and she lives in a residential care home on the south coast. And because her room,... read more »
You’re a Good, Good Father, It’s Who You Are (Ros' Blog)
I’ve just come back from a week at CreationFest, where I was manning (or womanning!) the stand for Through the Roof. It was a great week of making connections and getting our message out there. I especially enjoyed joining Count Everyone In for their... read more »

Lessons from a Dolphin - Ros' Blog

Hope for a Tree, Hope for Me (Ros' Blog)
While away on holiday, I spotted this tree in the garden of the cottage where we were staying. It was little more than a stump, about four feet high, and had obviously been cut right down at some point in its past. ... read more »
